DOMINO‘S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LTD | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | YEAR IN REVIEWCHAIRMAN’S 
MESSAGE

Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd is a 
business focused on the long-term –  
this reflects not only a long-term 
track record of achievement, but a 
continued outlook to the long-term 
growth ahead.
This past financial year again 
demonstrated the value of this 
long-term focus, with successes 
achieved throughout the business 
by management, team members and 
franchisees alike.
Across nine markets, Domino’s Pizza 
Enterprises Ltd and our franchisees 
opened 285 new stores – each 
providing new opportunities to reach 
more customers, to employ more 
team members and to give more to 
local communities.
The foundation for this growth, 
across Asia, Australia/New Zealand, 
and Europe, will continue to be our 
high-quality franchisees. 
The Board is proud of the 
achievements of these 
entrepreneurs across our business 
who, as this report attests, have 
demonstrated their ingenuity, 
resilience and customer focus 
throughout challenging conditions. 
Domino’s will continue to invest in 
their future growth and also in the 
next generation of franchisees who 
are currently working in our stores as 
managers or delivery experts. This 
year 93.6% of new franchised stores 
were opened by existing franchisees 
or store managers.
Our long-term commitment to the 
franchising model has benefited all in 
our business.
It has also rewarded our 
shareholders; this year the Company 
delivered an underlying return 
on equity of 49.0 per cent, and 
a three-year average return on 
equity of 44.0%. t also allowed 
Domino’s to increase our dividend 
to shareholders by 45.4% to 173.5¢ 
per share. Total shareholder returns 
this year were 76.75%, this placed 

Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd in 
the top 20% of ASX200 companies. 
With total shareholder returns 
since listing of more than 8,200%*; 
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd 
has outperformed not only most 
companies in Australia but also 
some of the world’s best-known 
technology companies listed on Wall 
Street. A long-term success story on 
the global stage.
Our long-term approach has 
delivered results in each of our nine 
markets and the Board has the same 
confidence it will continue to deliver 
results in our 10th market – Taiwan. 
With a population of more than 
23.5 million people, the addition of 
Domino’s Taiwan to the Company’s 
portfolio will expand our addressable 
Asian market by more than 18 per 
cent, to almost 150 million people. 
The track record of success 
Domino’s has in Japan, and the 
expansion into Taiwan, firmly 
establishes a centre of excellence 
for the Company in Asia, and a 
platform for future success.
Throughout our history Domino’s 
has consistently worked to apply the 
highest standards of governance. In 
recent years we have undertaken 
a program of Board renewal. In 
doing so we have reached our 
2030 goal of gender diversity (40%) 
among Non-Executive Directors, 
retaining significant depth in 
industry and company experience, 
while diversifying our skills, 
backgrounds, and geographies. 
Our company has also strived to 
ensure we reduced our impact 
on the environment. Using 
electric bicycles for delivery 
and reducing energy 
usage, as just two of many 
examples, makes Domino’s 
a better neighbour and 
reduces our footprint, while 
also reducing the costs to 
our stores. I am pleased 
this year to include our 

* Source: Nasdaq

first Sustainability Report outlining 
the progress we have made in this 
important area. 
The Board and management 
remain committed to the long-
term opportunities of Domino’s. 
Our Annual Report demonstrates 
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd 
can do good, and do well, and I 
commend this report to you.

DOMINO‘S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LTD | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | YEAR IN REVIEWCEO’S REPORT

When asked to summarise how Domino’s Pizza 
Enterprises Ltd has continued to navigate through the 
most uncertain times in our Company’s history, I return to 
a simple ideal: Focus.
Rather than needing to split our attention between 
different business types or food concepts, our 
management team, franchisees and team members have 
continued an absolute focus on their core business.
Of course, as this annual report demonstrates, the areas 
on which our people have focused have differed from 
one team to the next. Some have focused on developing 
talent within their businesses, others on local store 
marketing, on reducing delivery times, on setting records, 
or on fortressing their delivery territories. The benefits 
of this focus, both for our stores and for Domino’s Pizza 
Enterprises Ltd, is clear.
This year Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd grew our store 
network by more than 10 per cent, opened 285 stores, 
delivered network sales of $3.74 billion (+14.6%) and 
online sales of $2.92 billion (+21.5%). This delivered  
an underlying EBIT of $293.0 million (+27.2%).

Underlying those numbers, our business has provided 
hot, fresh meals to our communities, kept families 
safely at home, and created new jobs in nine markets. 
Pleasingly, the performance of our business this year has 
provided opportunities for existing franchisees to expand 
their business, and for team members (overwhelmingly 
drawn from the ranks of store managers) to become 
franchisees for the first time.
Focus has allowed management to make decisions by 
assessing our options against our Purpose and Values. It 
was this values-driven approach that saw our charitable 
giving expanded in more markets and decided Domino’s 
would return JobKeeper support in Australia. These were 
the right things to do.
How the world changes in a ‘post-COVID’ world, or 
whether ‘living with COVID’ is the new normal – is still 
unknown. What we do know is a continued focus on 
what we do best, meeting the needs of our customers, 
will be central to our future.
This means setting the highest standards for Product, 
Service and Image to deliver Value for our customers. 

6

DOMINO‘S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LTD | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | YEAR IN REVIEWIt means we will help our franchisees maximise their 
potential, safely reduce delivery times in pursuit of our 
goal of 3TEN and invest more into strategy and insights 
to help stores become more efficient and improve 
customers’ ordering experiences. And it means we 
will simultaneously work to reach our potential while 
reducing our environmental footprint, investing in our 
people giving back to our communities.
By delivering on these promises in all our markets, 
soon to include Taiwan, we intend to demonstrate on 
a global platform the true meaning of our Purpose: 
Our Pizza Brings People Closer.
Because ultimately it is the efforts of Domino’s 
people, more than 88,000 around the world, that 
have made this year not just possible, but record-
setting. 
From young team members making their very first 
batch of dough, through to experienced veterans 
with decades of experience who this year we 
inducted into our Hall of Fame. I am proud to be 
included in the same annual report alongside 
them.

Each year Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd recognises in 
each of our markets the team members and franchisees 
who display the very best Domino’s can offer; true 
Dominoids who have pizza sauce running through their 

veins and count slices of pepperoni in their sleep. Our 
award winners are included on the following pages – 
their efforts stood out against thousands of other stores 
and tens of thousands of franchisees and team members.

DOMINO‘S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LTD | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | YEAR IN REVIEWWe congratulate them and are proud to 
recognise them in this Annual Report.

17

DOMINO‘S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LTD | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | YEAR IN REVIEWHALL OF FAME 

Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd has a proud history 
and has celebrated thousands of team members over 
our decades of operation. In 2020, Domino’s Pizza 
Enterprises Ltd formed the Hall of Fame, to recognise 
those leaders whose contributions have made a 

significant contribution to our company over a number of 
years. It is not expected that new inductees will be made 
to the Hall of Fame each year, but this year Domino’s 
Pizza Enterprises Ltd is proud to welcome three more of 
our team to this exclusive club. 

Andrew Bradley
Andrew started in Domino’s in 2003, 
bringing more than two decades of 
multi-national experience working in 
marketing and management.
As a Domino’s franchisee in France, 
Andrew opened his first store in 
2004 in Lyon, before joining the 
French Head office as Operations 
Director between 2008 and 2010.
From 2010, Andrew returned to 
franchising, building a successful 
network of eight stores, before his 
appointment as President and CEO 
in 2018.
Andrew is a dual UK/French citizen 
with an extensive knowledge of 
managing large organisations and  
a deep understanding of small 
business and franchise operations.

With his experience as a multi-unit 
franchisee, Andrew has built a 
strong relationship with franchisees, 
bringing his deep empathy for 
their experiences to build the most 
competitive quick service restaurant 
business in the country. This 
franchisee-focused approach has 
delivered a record number of new 
stores in France this financial year. 
Group CEO Don Meij said: “I was 
thrilled to induct Andrew into the 
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd Hall 
of Fame. The brand simply would 
not be where it is today without his 
outstanding contributions as both a 
franchisee and leader of this market.”

DOMINO‘S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LTD | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | YEAR IN REVIEWShin Sasaki
Sasaki-san joined Domino’s Pizza 
Japan in 1988, where he worked as a 
Store Manager, Area Supervisor, and 
Regional Director.
Sasaki-san has excelled in every 
role in his Domino’s career – as a 
store manager and supervisor in 
the 1990s, to roles in franchise and 
system development, corporate 
planning, procurement, physical 
logistics and store development. 
He was appointed as Executive Vice 
President in 2017, and is responsible 
for Store Development, Procurement, 
Quality Control, Safety Control Office 
and the Audit Office.
In this Financial Year, Domino’s Pizza 
Japan set a new record for store 
openings by one DPE market in a 
single year – 126 stores. 

Sasaki-san’s contribution to this 
record was crucial.
Domino’s Pizza Japan CEO & 
President Josh Kilimnik said Sasaki-
san is known for his positive, can-do 
attitude, delivering new stores of 
exceptional quality and efficiency.
“Nothing is impossible for Sasaki-san 
nor - due to his leadership - his team. 
He has played a key role in Domino’s 
Pizza Japan’s growth through major 
milestones, including when Domino’s 
became the largest pizza chain in 
Japan by store count, as well as 
the recent, rapid expansion in the 
market.”

Hiroshi Kakiuchi
Kakiuchi-san started work for 
Domino’s Pizza Japan in 1988, 
and built a deep understanding of 
operations by working in stores.
He has applied this experience 
over more than 30 years, helping 
the Japan corporate store network 
deliver some of the best operations 
in the Domino’s world.
Kakiuchi-san embraced 3TEN, with 
corporate stores showing Domino’s 
stores throughout the world what 
is possible when safely delivering 
pizzas in record times. This included 
setting the current world record, in 
November 2018, with the Yotsuya (a 
week of orders averaging 2 minutes 
and 38 seconds). In this financial 
year Domino’s corporate stores set a 
record for their system of 13 minutes 
31 seconds for an entire week.

Kakiuchi-san’s selfless leadership 
has inspired countless Can-Do 
partners; corporate managers 
who have progressed to become 
extraordinary multi-unit franchisees. 
Many owe their success to Kakiuchi-
san’s leadership and inspirational 
lessons.
He sets high standards and his 
teams understand he genuinely 
cares about their success, 
demonstrating a passion for 
everything he does each day. 
Colleagues recall he was excited 
when he was appointed Deputy 
Division VP of Corporate Store 
Operations in 2002, an excitement 
that has continued to this day.

OF THE YEAR:

Mark Johnson, ANZ 
(nominated by ANZ CEO Nick Knight)

Mark is a multi-unit franchisee with 
10 stores in Tasmania. He believes 
execution is the key to success and 
smaller, more efficient delivery areas 
means better service for customers. 
Through uncertain times, Mark 
has demonstrated his faith in the

his team and, since being awarded 
the Gold Eagle in March, has 
fortressed his operations with an 
additional two stores.
With a goal of owning 100 stores 
in 20 years Mark has learned the 
value of investing in his people. 
He supported more than 60 team 
members to undertake “Run to the 
Roar” leadership classes with coach 
Bernie Kelly, with his goal to be “the 
number one team in the Domino’s 
universe at training our people to 
train our people”.
Domino’s ANZ CEO Nick Knight 
said Mark had shown leadership in 
regional franchisee meetings, even 
as they moved online. “He has been 
very positive through these meetings 
and has pushed franchisees to be 
better by offering advice in areas his 
stores are excelling in. Mark has also 
been involved in presenting to other 
markets in person and over Zoom.”
“Mark has also initiated a ranking 
system that included his own stores 
and stores of other franchisees that 
have come from within his business 
so they could benchmark their 
performance. He has a big bold 
vision for the future and has built a 
great team in Tasmania to allow 
him to start executing his vision.”

Sjoerd van Seters, Netherlands 
(nominated by Netherlands 
Franchise Operations Director, Martin 
Steenks)

Sjoerd has been a franchisee in the 
Netherlands for more than 10 years, 
consistently winning awards for his 
market-leading operations. Sjoerd 
takes a leading role in growing 
sales for his store network, including 
fortressing his business with new 
stores in existing delivery territories. 
This has allowed him to reach more 
carry-out customers and reduce the 
average time from the pizza oven to 
customers’ doors.
Sjoerd knows that a talented and 
motivated team are crucial to 
success, and has implemented a 
profit-sharing program with store 
managers, allowing him to develop 
new talent and future franchisees 
within his business, all aligned with 
the same goal, to sell more pizzas 
and have more fun.
Martin Steenks, Netherlands 
Franchise Operations Director, said 
Sjoerd is competitive in everything 
he approaches, aiming to be the 
dominant #1 in every challenge he 
sets himself.
“Sjoerd sets big hairy audacious 
goals (a long-term goal that everyone 
in the company can understand 
and rally behind) becoming the 
first franchisee whose fleet is 100% 
electric.
“Sjoerd is passionate about the 
environment, not only is his 60 
vehicle fleet electric, but he has 
implemented a recycling program to 
reduce wastage from his stores.
“His commitment to the business 
and to the environment are why I 
believe he is the DPE Franchisee of 
the Year.”

Minori Yanamoto, Japan 
(nominated by Japan President and 
CEO Josh Kilimnik, and Executive 
VP, Corporate Operations, Hiroshi 
Kakiuchi)

Minori Yanamoto joined Domino’s 
as a casual pizza maker when she 
was 16 years’ old and in her first 
year in High School. Yanamoto-san 
progressed to become an assistant 
manager in training after high school 
but – enchanted by the business 
of Domino’s – decided to leave 
university to join Domino’s full-time. 
Yanamoto-san worked at the Gamo 
Yonchome store as the opening 
manager, before becoming the store 
manager 18 months ago. She has 
excelled in this role, with her store 
earning a 5-star result in its OER 
audit for four consecutive quarters, 
including scoring 100% mark on 
the most recent. As store manager, 
Yanamoto-san has demonstrated 
her expertise extends across store 
operations, growing annual sales 148 
per cent, and reducing delivery times 
to an average of 16 minutes across 
an entire year.
Yanamoto-san is also lightning fast 
on the make bench: winning the 
2020 Domino’s Fastest Pizza Maker 
Competition (Asia) and coming 7th 
in the World Fastest Pizza Maker 
Competition. She has twice been 
asked to represent Domino’s Japan 
on television, building a loyal fan 

base of customers who visit the 
store.
Executive VP, Corporate 
Operations, Hiroshi Kakiuchi 
said Yanamoto-san: “is a 
walking standard of store 
operations and a talented 
coach. Her strength is teaching 
people with a motto of ‘teaching 
people in a loving way’. As a result, 
she has trained and developed 
numerous store managers and 
managers-in-training in the West 
Japan Operations Division. 
Yanamoto-san is a worthy recipient 
of this award.”

GLOBAL SUPPORT TEAM MEMBER OF THE YEAR: 
(JOINT WINNERS) 

Philip Espersen, Denmark 
(nominated by Denmark Country 
Manager Kellie Taylor) 

Denmark General Manager 
Kellie Taylor summed up Philip’s 
nomination simply: “It’s not normal 
that your IT Manager would also look 
after store development but that’s 
how Philip rolls.”
In the 2020 calendar year Domino’s 
Denmark increased the total 
store count from five stores to 
15. At the same time, local stores 
moved across from a legacy online 
ordering system in place when 
the business was acquired, to 
the OneDigital Online Ordering 
platform. OneDigital is designed to 
give customers a more rewarding 
ordering experience, and provides 
for operational and marketing 
enhancements, including the 
ability to offer bundled discounts 
for customers who subscribe to 
Domino’s marketing channels.
Philip was at the centre of these 
significant projects.
“That’s an incredible amount of work 
for one person to manage, and it’s 
just the tip of the iceberg of work 
that Philip does for our team and our 
market.
“It’s not just the volume of work that 
is impressive, it’s also the quality of 
the work and Philip’s attention to 
detail.
“I honestly don’t know how we would 
get anything done without Philip on 
the team.”

Francesco Romano, Japan 
(nominated by Japan President and 
CEO Josh Kilimnik, Executive VP, 
Franchise, Benjamin Oborne,  
Chief Marketing Officer Todd Reilly)

In 2020 Francesco demonstrated 
his incredible ability to identify 
digital opportunities not only for 
the marketing team, but also for 
improving the overall customer 
experience.
He lead the implementation of 
countless new digital service 
initiatives that were first-to-market, 
including initiatives that were crucial 
during COVID: Zero Contact Delivery 
and Carry Out, Drop & Go Delivery 
and Smart Drive Through. 
Many of these were a first for 
Domino’s Japan, but were then 
rolled out in other Domino’s markets.
Josh Kilimnik, President and CEO 
Domino’s Japan said: “Francesco 
worked closely with the Corporate 
and Franchise Operations teams 
to ensure the perfect execution of 
these initiatives, continually providing 
integral feedback to finesse the 
operational elements of them after 
launch.
“He provided on the ground 
leadership for the Domino’s Japan 
marketing team during many critical 
months as we navigated the new 
normal under COVID and played 
a critical role in the rollout of new 
aggregator partners as well as the 
ramp up of activities with existing 
partners.
“All of this work helped deliver 
record online sales.”

DOMINO‘S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LTD | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | YEAR IN REVIEWTEN

3

In 2016, Domino’s Pizza Enterprises announced Project 
3TEN – a goal to have a freshly made pizza ready for 
carry-out in three minutes or delivered to a customer’s 
door in 10 minutes.
The reason was straightforward – time is the enemy of food. 
As the time it takes a meal to travel from the oven  
to a customer increases, the quality decreases.  
Our customers in each of our markets share a passion 
for hot, fresh pizza and, as delivery times come down, 
customers rate their order more highly for product quality 
and service. Faster meals, delivered safely, contribute  
to more profitable Domino’s stores: higher customer 
ratings are directly linked to increased sales and 
improved unit economics.
We have made important strides in this effort since 
launching Project 3TEN and learnt important lessons. 
For example, faster ovens, while important, are one of 
the last changes we make to a store to reduce delivery 
times. Technology such as predictive ordering, and even 
attitude changes such as a commitment to improvement, 
can make a meaningful difference to store operations. 
Most importantly, safe, fast food delivery relies on the 
‘last mile’ and reducing the distance from the oven  
to the customer. This means opening more stores,  
closer to customers is key for improved customer 
satisfaction and the future of our business.

We have made more substantial progress on the delivery 
front but there is more to do, and the goal of Project 
3TEN remains the same. No longer is this a ‘project’ but 
a core part of our business in all markets: Accordingly, 
Project 3TEN is now 3TEN.
Competition for the fastest delivery store in the world 
is fierce, and this year Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd 
stores delivered some of the best results in the Domino’s 
world.

DOMINO‘S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LTD | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | YEAR IN REVIEWIt is so clear to us that 
chasing big records really 
changes the perception 
of what is possible

“3TEN has been a huge part of the 
culture in DPJ for a long time, but the 
key to the incredible performance 
was to have every single DPJ team 
member aligned on our goal, aware 
of the huge part they all had to play 
and what this would mean for DPJ 
and the customer. Ensuring that we 
coached everyone on best practices 
like using predictive ordering, 
Dispatch Runners, scheduling for 
success and a fixation on single 
deliveries was absolutely integral.
“It really was an All Hands effort  
– we achieved an EDT of 16 minutes 
and 10 seconds across 790 stores  
– compared to the previous record 
of 19 minutes and 58 seconds. 
“After our record week our stores 
have reflected on everything 
they learnt when they challenged 
themselves to achieve such an 
incredible result and we have seen a 
remarkable reduction in our monthly 
delivery time since.
“It is so clear to us that chasing 
big records really changes the 
perception of what is possible. 20 
minutes now feels slow!”

BENJAMIN OBORNE – 
EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT 
– FRANCHISE, JAPAN

Netherlands
“Domino’s has always been the 
delivery expert. We broke records 
like no other and are the number 
one delivery company. However,  
an average delivery time of 20 
minutes is not competitive enough. 
There are more and more suppliers 
who deliver fast. We want to lower 
the benchmark and stay ahead of 
the competition. 
“So we organised a week in which 
we planned to break our delivery 
record. But to do this, you have to 
look beyond delivery times. For five 
months of preparation, one theme 
was central each month. From 
hospitality, to supporting hero month 
in February, to keeping delivery 
people motivated during the winter 
months. Tips and tricks were shared 
on product quality and where time 
could be saved. Two weeks before 
the record week, a dress rehearsal 
took place.
“The real Domino’s spirit emerged: 
‘One team, one goal’. The stores 
gave each other tips and tricks and 
so we were ready. We achieved an 
estimated delivery time of 17 minutes 
19 seconds. The previous record 
stood at 19 minutes 23 seconds,  
a gain of more than two minutes.
“What made the difference? It’s 
about creating the right mindset. 
Believing together that we can break 
records. We were focused and 
helped each other and then  
you make the impossible possible. 
We have seen that organising  
a service week brings a lot.  
Even after the record week, the 
average delivery time remained low, 
it created internal pride and, above 
all, many satisfied customers.
“We plan to focus on delivering two 
of these ‘service weeks’ each year 
and, together with Marketing, we will 
also publicise this nationally.”

MARTIN STEENKS – 
FRANCHISE OPERATIONS 
DIRECTOR, NETHERLANDS 

Japan
In Financial Year 2018 Domino’s 
Japan (DPJ) launched ’20 Minute 
Mission’, to differentiate Domino’s 
from competitors. The market holds 
the record for the fastest Domino’s  
in the world, the Yotsuya store,  
at 2 minutes and 38 seconds.
“We want to provide world class 
service to our customers, stretch 
the boundaries of what is possible 
and to embody our core Values of 
“Be generous and provide joyful 
experience”, “Invest to create 
devotion” and “Crush convention”;  
all with a Hungry to Be Better attitude.
“We increased focus on 
communication and training sessions 
leading in to Q4 with a focus on 
intensive training for our lower 
performers and on best practice 
sharing across our whole network.
“We set 3 separate challenges/
contests around Delivery Times 
throughout Q4, the final being 
around our world record attempt.
 ♦ Challenge 1: “DPJ All Store 
Estimated Delivery Time 
(EDT) contest” for bottom-up 
improvement for 13 weeks where 
we grouped our stores in terms 
of their recent performance and 
challenged them to make the 
greatest improvement compared 
to their peers. Our aim was to 
achieve 18 minutes across Japan 
for the quarter

 ♦ Challenge 2: One week contest 

“Golden Week Challenge” in early 
May, where we held a contest 
around the greatest improvement 
in Delivery Times during our 
busiest week of the year

 ♦ Challenge 3: One week contest 
“National Week Challenge” we 
challenged every store, manager 
and Franchisee to break their 
existing record with a goal of 
achieving 15 minutes across 
Japan and setting a new world 
record as a market.

DOMINO‘S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LTD | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | YEAR IN REVIEWTAIWAN

In June, Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd 
announced the Company had entered into a 
binding agreement to acquire its 10th market, 
Domino’s Taiwan.
Domino’s Taiwan is currently the second 
largest pizza chain in the market, operating  
157 corporate and franchised stores. In 
announcing the acquisition, Group CEO and 
Managing Director Don Meij said the long-term 
potential for Taiwan was more than 400 stores.
“We have never entered a market as the 
number one pizza operator but have grown  
to that position in all markets,” Mr Meij said.
“We have built centres of excellence in 
Australia/New Zealand, Europe and Asia, 
allowing us to complement local expertise in 
menu development and taste preferences with 
proven experience in technology, marketing, 
operations, and strategy and insights.
“Just as our High Volume Mentality approach 
has worked in Australia/New Zealand, Europe 
and more recently in Japan, we intend to apply 
the same lessons in Taiwan.
“Equally we expect to identify and promote 
high quality management and multi-unit 
franchisees within Domino’s Taiwan, whose 
lessons we can apply in other markets.”
With a population of more than 23.5 
million people, Taiwan expands DPE’s total 
addressable market in Asia by more than  
18 per cent, to almost 150 million people.

Mr Meij welcomed the franchisees and  
team members in Taiwan to the DPE family.
“We may speak different languages across  
10 markets, but we all speak the language  
of pizza and customer service,” Mr Meij said.
“We believe Domino’s Taiwan will be another 
example of our purpose: Our Pizza Brings 
People Closer.
“We are excited about the potential in the 
Taiwan market and the Taiwan team – and we 
look forward to investing in the future of our 
people to help them grow and prosper.”
Domino’s Taiwan delivered network sales of 
approximately NT$1.6 billion (A$73 million) and 
earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and 
amortisation (EBITDA) of approximately NT$103 
million (A$4.8 million) for FY20 under its most 
recent ownership.
The acquisition, of approximately NT$1.7 billion 
(A$79 million) on a cash and debt free basis, 
will be funded from cash and debt facilities.
The acquisition is expected to be completed 
by the end of 2021, subject to satisfaction of 
local regulatory approvals.

DOMINO‘S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LTD | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | YEAR IN REVIEWLIVING WITH 
COVID 19

Like the communities in which we live, Domino’s team 
members have adapted to the new reality of “Living with 
COVID-19”, the practicalities of which vary from market to 
market. 
New Zealand has been fortunate to have been relatively 
unaffected by COVID-19 this Financial Year, operating 
largely in a ‘business as usual’ environment. Similar to 
most markets, government ‘QR codes’ are required for 
all businesses to facilitate contact tracing if required, 
with ‘outbreaks’ relatively minor. During these times 
Domino’s stores need to follow stricter rules including 
mandatory mask wearing (not needed during other 
times), and turning on Zero Contact Delivery and Carry-
out. Fortunately these instances have been few and far 
between.
Australia has adopted a similar approach to New 
Zealand, albeit with more lockdowns, with State-by-State 
government responses complicating Domino’s store 
responses. For example, one region may implement a 
short-term ‘lockdown’, in which people are not allowed 
to leave their homes unless for essential purposes and 
masks are required outside at all times, while in another 
city, or adjacent state, life continues unaffected.
In Japan, mass vaccination centres started to open for 
people younger than 65 in mid-June, with a plan to 
vaccinate all willing residents by the end of November. 
Restrictions vary by prefectures. Japan extended the 
‘state of emergency’ in Tokyo and adjacent prefectures 
in June, conducting the Olympics without fans in sports 
arenas. The number of COVID-19 cases continues to be 
at ‘Stage 4’ (the upper end of the Government’s scale 
and in restrictions on businesses, including early closures 
for dining-in, remain in place in many prefectures.
In Europe, most markets have seen the worst of 
COVID-19 conditions pass, although case loads continue 
to be significant each day, when compared to Australia/
New Zealand.
In France night-time curfews have been in place, which 
had prevented carry-out orders from most Domino’s 
stores during dinner periods, requiring stores to rapidly 
adjust to almost 100% delivered meals during these times. 
Towards the latter stages of FY21, improvements in local 
conditions allowed the lifting of curfews and loosening 
of other restrictive measures, including the end of mask 
mandates (with some exceptions). Onsite catering has 
started to reopen for restaurants and outdoor terraces, 
although social distancing measures remain. 
In Germany, COVID-19 cases have rapidly reduced 
in recent months, but masks are still required in retail 
environments and on public transport. Employers 
are still required to offer rapid COVID-19 tests to 
most employees, but the use of QR codes (though 
still widespread) is reducing. Vaccination certificates 
are required to visit many public spaces, including 
restaurants and tourist attractions such as museums.

In the Benelux, the number of cases has fallen sharply, 
with governments announcing further lifting of restrictions 
at the end of the Financial Year. Restaurants and bars are 
reopening in time for summer and masks mandates have 
been reduced (with a few exceptions). Working from 
home, previously mandated, is no longer an obligation, 
meaning colleagues are slowly returning to offices. 
Widespread vaccination is in place, meaning travel to 
neighbouring countries is now permitted but, as in other 
markets, proof of vaccination is required for major events 
such as festivals.
In Denmark lockdown measures introduced at the end of 
2020 were scaled back in the later stages of FY21. This 
allowed the country to reopen indoor service in many 
hospitality venues. Domino’s, like many employers, has 
used rapid COVID tests for team members, with rapid 
testing more commonly used with young people instead 
of stay-at-home orders. The use of a ‘corona passport’ – 
required to access many public events and gatherings – 
has been key to allowing society to begin opening up.
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd’s principles of responding 
to the COVID-19 pandemic remain unchanged: putting 
people first, and following the advice of health experts in 
every market. While responding to COVID-19 remains the 
natural state of business for all markets, team members 
continue to monitor and rapidly respond to changing 
conditions and are now well practised in all markets in 
implementing operational changes at short notice.
The following snapshot of just three days in Australia is 
instructive of this rapid response.
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd makes extensive use of 
technology to keep team members connected and allow 
for distributed decision making regardless of operating 
hours.
This includes the use of Workplace – a corporate platform 
by Facebook. In Australia/New Zealand communication 
groups are well established to allow for updates to be 
sent to franchisees, store managers and team members 
(or a subset of these groups) for an entire market, or a 
smaller geographic area (such as a state or city). 
Additionally, ‘chat’ groups are in place to connect the 
COVID-19 steering group, which includes representatives 
from across the business, including store operations, 
marketing, safety, communications, and IT. These groups, 
which complement regular video conferences of key 
decision makers, are available on desktop and mobile 
phone.
The team monitor government updates, including 
providing live summaries of press conferences, to allow 
the fastest possible response by the business. 
25 June, Friday: The New South Wales Government 
implemented their first stay-at-home orders in 2021 for 
four local government areas, announced shortly before 
11:30am to start at midnight. Less than five minutes later 
a proposed course of action had been agreed, including 

32

DOMINO‘S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LTD | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | YEAR IN REVIEWaffecting the broader response effort. This included 
reviewing CCTV of the affected store, and providing state 
government contact tracers with roster and customer 
information to allow them to contact any staff members 
and customers present at the time – and require them to 
immediately self-isolate until testing could be undertaken.
Shortly before 6pm, the government of the Australian 
Capital Territory also implemented mandatory face 
masks, to commence at midnight. Accordingly the team 
immediately moved to mandate masks and Zero Contact 
delivery throughout the Territory, and adjusted associated 
marketing.
Every team member, whether in stores, head offices, 
commissaries or distribution centres have made 
extraordinary efforts responding to changing COVID-19 
circumstances, to keep their colleagues safe, to deliver 
safe meals to customers, and to support their community 
through generous giving campaigns.
The Board and Management of Domino’s Pizza 
Enterprises Ltd thanks every team member involved, for 
all of their efforts.

extending existing mask mandates and Zero Contact 
Delivery in affected areas and closing Dine-In operations.
Adjustments to planned marketing for the affected 
areas, including reducing materials referring to carry-out 
marketing and increasing the focus on delivered offerings, 
were determined, and two hours after the initial report a 
full update was sent to franchisees and team members. 
26 June, Saturday: The New South Wales Government 
held a press conference on local COVID-19 conditions. 
Two minutes later the group was informed this included 
an announcement the Greater Sydney region would 
move into a lockdown (stay-at-home order) four hours 
later. The Communications team moved immediately 
to start updating franchisees and team members and 
less than one hour after the new announcement an 
updated marketing approach was determined. The team 
determined a mask mandate, and Zero Contact Delivery, 
would be implemented statewide. 
Because the relevant team members were all able to 
respond live, this was swiftly communicated to all stores 
throughout New South Wales, and the IT team moved 
to ensure online ordering systems were updated – all 
completed before the lockdown came into effect.
27 June, Sunday: The team provided live updates on 
government announcements across multiple states on 
the latest status changes; multiple states closed their 
borders to interstate travel or urged their local residents 
to reconsider their travel to areas experiencing increased 
case numbers. These notices were then immediately 
communicated to relevant team members.
Shortly after noon, the Northern Territory Government 
announced they would implement stay-at home-orders 
for three regions, affecting six stores. The same team 
members moved immediately to implement Zero Contact 
Delivery, changes to marketing and safety updates for 
team members (including mandatory mask wearing) and 
able to immediately confirm these were in place, and 
communicated to stores, approximately one hour later. 
Shortly after 1pm another state government, Western 
Australia, announced restrictions relating to a COVID-19 
transmission from New South Wales, including mandatory 
mask wearing and the closure of dine-in eating. These 
restrictions were to take effect in two regions 40 minutes 
after their announcement. This was communicated 
immediately to affected stores, which had all been 
automatically despatched an appropriate supply of masks 
to protect every team member on shift, protecting their 
health and allowing uninterrupted trade.
In Queensland, one store was required to close for deep 
cleaning after being confirmed as having been visited by 
a customer with COVID-19. A separate online group was 
immediately established, to allow representatives from 
the health team, communications and local operational 
managers to work through required steps without

DOMINO‘S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LTD | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | YEAR IN REVIEW      STRATEGY  

& INSIGHTS

Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd’s Strategy & Insights 
function uses data to identify actionable insights that 
help stores become more efficient, improve customers’ 
ordering experiences, and support Domino’s and our 
franchisees in maximising their potential.
The function brings together experts in Business 
Intelligence, Analytics, and Data Science, with  
a mission to Enable, Enhance, and Empower  
data-driven decision making.
As Group Head of Strategy & Insights Pat Nestor 
explained: “Our objective is: to ensure that our 
colleagues have the data and insights they need, 
formatted in the right way, in an easy-to-use manner,  
at the right time to make the right decisions.”
This year, Domino’s has made significant investments  
to meet that mission and to maximise the benefits of  
the tens of billions of data points collected through every 
aspect of the business each year.

“FY21 has seen us lay a significant foundation with 
respect to data and analytics, that we will leverage  
and build on in FY22 and beyond to propel our business 
forward. In particular, evolving from the descriptive to the 
predictive; and leaning into a KPI-first mentality. But this 
starts with enterprise-wide data access enablement.
“To enable our team members, we have been working 
to better ingest, store, and manage our data. It enables 
our people to make data-driven decisions, for an analyst 
to find answers to key questions, and for our business 
partners (particularly franchisees) to have access to the 
data they need.
“That means taking steps to ensure each market is 
talking about data and measuring data in the same way, 
so that Key Performance Indicators are measured and 
reported consistently. As an example, we have moved to 
a single global customer feedback platform, which allows 
us to compare NPS, customer service scores,  
and product quality scores across markets.

34

DOMINO‘S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LTD | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | YEAR IN REVIEW“The Analytics and Data Science team enhances our use 
of data, through building advanced analytical models 
and leveraging machine learning capabilities that 
unlock meaningful insights for our teams. For example, 
measuring the impact of marketing campaigns, so we 
can continuously improve our marketing calendar.
“And finally, Empowerment is a concept we’re passionate 
about: ‘data democratisation’ – how do we ensure that 
the right person, no matter their role, has and can use 
the data they need. For example, how do we ensure that 
a store manager, in any market, at any time, can access 
their store’s data from a mobile device, and take real-
time action to address any concerns.
“Data democratisation isn’t going away – the benefits are 
so significant we want to ensure more people throughout 
our business have more data and  
actionable insights than ever before.
“This year the team have been able to correlate  
and quantify how saving one labour minute per order 
translates to increased profitability for the store each 

month – and the benefit is substantial. That provides 
managers and franchisees the evidence to ensure this 
is a key focus for their operations, searching for and 
implementing efficiencies that will make a real difference 
to their unit economics.”
Data is critical to the future performance of Domino’s 
Pizza Enterprises Ltd, and the Company will continue  
to invest to reflect that importance.
“The next step allows us to use customer analytics  
to better understand what our customers want, to use 
predictive modelling to ensure we retain customers  
with the best possible Domino’s experience, and to 
Invest to Create Devotion: driving customer lifetime value 
by providing a rewarding customer experience  
in each and every touchpoint
“Ultimately, while our field is still developing, it continues 
in the long tradition of Domino’s, which is about putting 
the needs and expectations of our customers first.”

teams have been recognised by 
Domino’s Pizza Inc. with their top 
honour for a franchisee – the Golden

teams.
Most importantly, their efforts have 
been recognised by our customers, 
who have put their trust in Domino’s

EUROPE

sales in all markets (+23.0%), while 
reducing delivery times. This has 
heightened customer satisfaction 
and lifted the efficiency of our 
delivery experts – flowing through 
to increased franchisee profitability. 
As a result, our franchisees have 
been eager to open new stores 
across our markets, 129 this Financial 
Year. Europe passed the 1,250 store 
milestone in May, and we will open 
our 1,300th store in the first half of 
the next Financial Year.
The ongoing enhancements in 
everything we do have been 
impressive this Financial Year and 
have made a meaningful difference 
for our business. But we won’t 
be stopping there. We need to 
continuously improve our customers’ 
experience every time they order 
from Domino’s, which means we 
cannot lose focus on continuous 
innovation: for our menu, our 
technology, and our operations. 

I have been fortunate to work in 
the Domino’s brand for more than 
15 years, and I consider myself 
privileged to call myself a colleague 
of the many talented Dominoids in 
Europe, from young team members 
to experienced franchisees to a 
professional support team in our 
head offices.
The following pages in this report 
demonstrate why; despite our 
European operations continuing to 
face some of the most challenging 
COVID-19 conditions we have 
experienced so far in this pandemic, 
our business has continued to 
grow. Why? Because of a single-
minded focus on what is important; 
our people, our customers, our 
communities, our environment and 
our meals. 
Domino’s European operations 
have been able to meet increasing 
demand for hot, fresh meals, 
delivered safely to our customers. 
Where competitors have started to 
build a delivery option, Domino’s 
deep experience in delivery 
execution, with 3TEN at the heart of 
our operations, has been alone in 
consistently meeting and exceeding 
customers’ expectations.
Putting customers’ expectations front 
and centre has allowed us to grow

DOMINO‘S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LTD | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | YEAR IN REVIEWIn the prior Financial Year we reported the need to 
close our stores in France after our national government 
declared we would go to war with COVID-19. That ‘war’ is 
ongoing, but I am pleased to report the tide is turning.
Our biggest challenge has been to find solutions to the 
difficulties we faced and to continue to do business 
within the constraints of the pandemic while preserving 
the safety of our teams and our customers.
We put extensive effort into working methods that 
would allow Domino’s France to operate safely. Those 
methods, which we implemented with our franchisees, 
have allowed us to continue operating throughout 
this Financial Year, despite changing local conditions 
and significant changes in our customers ordering 
behaviours.
The most significant change in our market is a move by 
customers to delivered food. Leading into the pandemic 
Domino’s France was a market where carry out and 
delivery were of roughly equal importance. In our prior 
report we outlined Project Reset, designed to showcase 
what is possible in a delivery-focused store committed to 
the best practices of 3TEN. This meant we were already 
building momentum of a stronger delivery business 
when COVID-19 and strict curfews (preventing customers 
visiting stores at night) brought forward our future. 
Without a strong delivery option Domino’s France and 
our franchisees would have faced significant challenges. 
Instead, we have outpaced our competition and shown 
that we can handle high delivery volumes well.

We opened 38 new stores this Financial Year, bringing our total store count 
to 449. Pleasingly, there is strong appetite for new stores not only from our 
existing franchisee base, but from the next generation of franchisees – our 
store managers and supervisors. I am convinced the success of this year has 
been made possible because of the strength of a franchised system and a 
strong DPF team working together towards the same objectives.
Rather than giving up, we reinvented ourselves and together we took on the 
challenges for the benefit of the network. 

We will 
continue  
to do so.

REGIONAL OVERVIEW

BENELUX

First of all, I am grateful and proud of the efforts and 
achievements of all our franchisees, distribution 
colleagues and head office colleagues over the past 
year. The past year was remarkable in every way.
The second lock-down from December until March 
impacted us all: schools were closed and many Domino’s 
team members (like those in our community) balanced 
working and home schooling at the same time, while 
missing the personal contacts with colleagues and the 
business.
Domino’s Netherlands and Belgium were not immune 
to the challenges of COVID-19 and the lockdown: 
because schools were closed and more families were 
working from home, lunch time sales decreased. This 
was one of the many changes we have continued to 
see over the past year. Prior to COVID-19 a significant 
layer of our sales – almost half – came from carry-out 
customers. With lunch and other carry-out occasions 
affected, an increasing proportion of sales came from 
deliveries. Heightened delivery orders brings challenges 
and opportunities. For franchisees this requires efficient 
operations and a larger number of team members to 
resource the demand, but it also can bring a higher 
average ticket and the potential for high performing 
franchisees to build their profits. The Benelux is a system 
built from high-performing operators, and our franchisees 
were able to navigate these challenges to grow sales, lift 
customer satisfaction and expand their profits.
We are living in ‘the age of delivery’: the demand for 
meal delivery was already growing before COVID-19, but 
in the past year this demand has grown exponentially. 
There are more meal providers than ever and consumers 
have many options to choose from. The BENELUX team 
were ready to respond to this competition and I’m proud 
that in doing so, we welcomed 12 new franchisees and 
hired more than 2,000 new colleagues.
It is clear that customers value convenience, speed and 
variation in the menu we offer. We successfully launched 
an entirely new chicken meal, Domino’s Crunchy 
Chicken, to great success, and we will continue to 
develop more product innovations in the next year. 
Our challenge in a ‘living with COVID’ environment is to 
keep our new customers, and our talented new team 
members. I believe we are up to that challenge.

DOMINO‘S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LTD | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | YEAR IN REVIEWREGIONAL OVERVIEW

GERMANY

Our main focus continues to be keeping our customers 
and employees safe. Due to COVID-19 all stores were 
closed for dine-in, and only able to provide pick-up and 
delivery. Curfews in some of our stores have been a 
challenge, meaning customers could not pick up from 
our stores after 9 or 10 pm. 
The tremendous sales and profit growth, which 
started pre-covid in FY20 and continued in FY21, 
made franchisees hungry and willing to expand their 
businesses by opening new stores. The COVID-19 
lockdown has been a tailwind to our German business. 
We`ve seen food delivery in general grow but we 
have been able to outgrow the competition by better 
execution and a more appealing offer.
Our marketing spend is a function of the number of 
stores we have, and the total sales for each store. 
Because our franchisees have adopted the principles 
of High Volume Mentality (HVM), sales have significantly 
grown and we can now advertise more than half the  
year on national television.

HVM has driven the sales growth and we’ve continued 
for the second year our successful Domino’s Duo 
marketing layer, which increases new customers and 
adds frequency. We have optimised our digital marketing; 
with this we have been able to reach our (potential) 
customers in an effective way.
We are still executing our original conversion strategy 
outlined when we entered the German Market: i) 
physical conversion of stores to the Domino’s brand, ii) 
implementation of HVM, and iii) organic store growth. 
I’m pleased that Domino’s Germany has clearly entered 
phase three of this plan.
In FY20, Domino’s Germany opened 13 stores. This was 
a record, but it did not reflect the true potential for this 
market. This year I’m proud to report we have opened 40 
new stores – and we’re just getting fired up.

STORE 
OPENED

In May, we set  
a new record for 
sales for  
the market.

This Financial Year marked another important milestone 
for Domino’s Denmark.
When Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd acquired the 
rights to Denmark in 2019, previously operated stores 
had closed due to food safety issues. Under our 
management, presented to customers as ‘the Real 
Domino’s’, our operations have been rebuilding our 
brand and reputation, as we have rebuilt the network.
With the opening of six stores this year, all 17 locations 
previously operated under the former owner are now 
open for business – refreshed and with world-class 
operations demonstrating the difference Domino’s Pizza 
Enterprises Ltd can make for customers. Additionally, two 
of the stores opened this Financial Year were opened in 
new territories, the first outside of Copenhagen, to serve 
customers who have never previously experienced what 
Domino’s has to offer.
The results have been very positive. While we continue 
to invest in rebuilding our business, the newest stores 
in greenfield sites opened very strongly, and all stores 
earned higher customer satisfaction and product quality 
scores, as assessed by our customers. In May, we set a 
new record for sales for the market.
Our focus in Denmark continues to be regaining the 
trust of Danish consumers with strong food safety and 
consistently fast delivery times. This year, we were proud 
to have ranked fifth among all Domino’s stores worldwide 
in independent NSF food safety audits. 
With the launch of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd’s 
OneDigital platform, we are now positioned to implement 
new technology innovations for customers and team 
members. While we haven’t had those in place to date, 
we have pressed ahead with operations efficiencies, 
with the Søborg store setting a new record for fast, safe 
deliveries. 
Opening stores remains a challenge during the 
pandemic, with building permits and recruitment a 
short-term headwind – but we remain positive about the 
medium-term outlook and the long-term potential for this 
important part of the European business.

launched the first loyalty program for Domino’s Pizza 
Enterprises Ltd, has continued to enhance the loyalty 
offering. This year the team added a new feature “Try 
our new dip for free” (November) a special offer visible 
only for loyalty customers. In December, the program 
launched a ‘’Double Dice’’ online feature, in which 
customers roll the dice to win, giving customers a holiday 
win, as well as donating to charity.
Online platforms are an important channel to reach 
new customers, and to retain existing customers. 
Domino’s France built on the previous success of its 
high profile sponsorship of the the Domino’s Ligue 2 
football competition, and official licensee of the Ligue 1 
Conforama, by investing in a new audience – esports. 
This year Domino’s collaborated with one of the most 
played games in the world: League of Legends, with a 
full promotional package including; a special menu on 
match days targeted at delivery customers, an online 
community manager “Pizza Yolo” who provided discount 
voucher codes during the match’s live stream, and by 
sponsoring weekly online show Popcorn.
Sometimes, things don’t quite go the way we intend 
– but Domino’s has always been known for our 100% 
Customer Satisfaction Guarantee. When things go wrong, 
our goal is to fix them as quickly as possible, making it 
up to our valued customers and ensuring they continue 
to return to enjoy their favourite meals. This year we 

Digital innovation
Across Europe, as in all markets, our focus is on digital 
innovation centres, on enhancing the Domino’s ordering 
experience for our customers, and a more efficient and 
productive experience for our team members.
To enhance our customers’ ordering experience, our 
digital innovation teams focus on making online ordering 
faster, more user friendly, more visually appealing, and 
more rewarding – this year they delivered meaningful 
improvements to each.
In Germany, the team launched a new front-end 
redesign of dominos.de (August), with a modern and 
bright look to position the Domino’s brand. The new 
design was then implemented 360 degrees, carrying 
through to all customer touchpoints, such as menus. 
In France, the team evolved the online ordering site 
(October) on desktop and mobile applications. The 
evolved site has a clearer background, reflecting a more 
modern design trend and aligning more closely with 
the dominos.fr showcase website. In Denmark the team 
implemented Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd’s OneDigital 
platform, the heart of online ordering in all of our other 
markets. OneDigital has replaced the market’s legacy 
website, and provides a platform for future technology 
development.
Our purpose is To Bring People Closer, because pizza 
is the world’s best bonding food. This year we launched 
new initiatives to bring our customers closer, breaking 
down barriers between them and the food they love to 
share.
The Netherlands launched “Group Ordering” 
(September), a digital tool that makes life easier for 
those who order with a large group. It allows everyone 
to pick menu items from their own devices, which is 
then forwarded to the ‘group leader’. The promotion of 
this new initiative will be launched once local COVID-19 
conditions allow larger gatherings in homes and 
workplaces. In France we launched a new service to 
allow sharing the bill with Paypal (August). This service 
(available on desktop and mobile) makes easier to pay 
for orders with several people, connecting friends, 
colleagues and loved ones. The service, in partnership 
with PayPal, will only be offered at Domino’s Pizza for 
the near future; a true “Only@Domino’s” service. The 
Netherlands also launched B2B Giftcards (April), a more 
customer-friendly way for businesses to buy giftcards to 
give to their employees.
Our customers drive everything we do and Domino’s 
consistently looks for ways to reward our customers 
for their loyalty. This year we launched new loyalty 
programs in multiple markets. In Germany we piloted 
“Domino’s Club” (September) in about 30 stores. This 
has generated incremental revenue, and demonstrated 
loyalty by both Domino’s and our customers. France 
also launched a new loyalty program (September), which 
offers customers a medium pizza after every six orders. 
The take-up from customers has been overwhelmingly 
positive, with more than 350,000 members in just three 
months, accounting for 35 per cent of online sales. As 
part of their loyalty program, France launched their ‘Secret 
Menu’ – a selection of products available online, for a short 
period of time, only to members of the loyalty program.

DOMINO‘S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LTD | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | YEAR IN REVIEWlaunched Critizr, in multiple markets (including in ANZ). 
Critizr is an online feedback management tool, which 
makes it easier and more manageable for customers 
to provide their feedback in the forum and way they 
prefer. Critizr allows store managers, franchisees and our 
head offices to track and analyse customer feedback 
in a standardised and reportable way, with the goal of 
retaining customers by providing quick, friendly, and 
helpful feedback, with the support of efficient technology. 
By collaborating on a single platform across all markets, 
the ultimate goal is to provide consistent benchmarking 
of all aspects of the Domino’s experience, including 
Product, Service, Image and Value. 
We want our customers to consistently have the best 
experience and the confidence to trial new products. 
In February, the Netherlands launched a new ‘DCC 
Cashback Campaign’ to coincide with the launch of 
the new Domino’s Crunchy Chicken. This reinforced 
Domino’s satisfaction guarantee, reminding customers 
we guarantee the quality of this newest, exciting product, 
and providing customers with a free pizza if they’re not 
100% satisfied.
Our digital innovation is also designed to make working 
at Domino’s a more efficient and productive experience 
for our team members. We focus on fast orders, but 
not speeding, because our team members know ‘the 
rush is on your feet, and not on the street’. One way of 

reducing delivery times is to ensure customers are ready 
when their hot, fresh meal arrives at their home. Through 
record setting attempts in Australia, Domino’s identified 
phoning customers immediately before the delivery 
expert arrived could reduce delivery times and increase 
satisfaction – because their meal is in their hands 
even faster. This ‘Call on Arrival’ service has now been 
automated. Another innovation rolled out in previous 
years has been predictive ordering – which allows team 
members to start freshly making customer’s orders 
even before the order has been placed, saving team 
members and customers vital time – Belgium will soon 
start implementing Call on Arrival and predictive ordering 
is now available in 40 stores.
In Germany, the team have started to implement digital 
temperature monitoring (February), which increases 
food safety, because any potential issue with rising 
food temperatures can be addressed early, and manual 
documentation errors are avoided. Not only does this 
make our food safer, but it also saves time and money for 
stores by reducing manual temperature measurements 
and documentation. The system is currently used by 45 
stores. Germany has also increased the usage of online 
rostering tool TANDA: more than 66 per cent of all stores 
are now using TANDA and have offered introductory 
and advanced training sessions every fortnight. TANDA 
is delivering better rostering, which makes stores more 
profitable without compromising on service.

DOMINO’S PURPOSE IS TO BRING 
PEOPLE CLOSER, BECAUSE PIZZA IS 
THE WORLD’S BEST BONDING FOOD.

winter pizzas, including raclette 
cheese. This also allowed Domino’s 
to highlight and promote other high 
quality local ingredients, including 
Emmental cheese, honey, apples 
and wheat. These ingredients 
were heroed on the menu with 
L’Authentique Raclette pizza, La 
Fondue, L’Avalance and a new 
recipe, Chèvre-Miel, featuring French 
light cream, mozzarella, goat cheese 
and French honey.
A Domino’s pizza can be 
personalised by every customer in 
billions of ways, and by adding new 
ingredients to our stores, Domino’s 
can also meet specific cuisine 
preferences. With research showing 
80 per cent of customers aged 15-
35 eat Asian cuisine once a month, 
our team in France launched a new 
“Teriyaki Sauce” base, which will 
be the centrepiece of new recipes 
targeting this occasion, including the 
Beef Teriyaki and the Poulet Teriyaki.
Pizza is not all Domino’s serves. 
From decadent desserts to savoury 
treats, right through to menu 
offerings designed to meet a new 
meal occasion, including for the 
single person order. To meet this 
need, Domino’s Germany expanded 
their oven baked sandwich range 
this year, while Domino’s France 
added new offerings of its highly 
popular Cal’z (calzone) including 
Beef Terriyaki.

Food innovation
Customers all over the world 
appreciate meals made using high 
quality ingredients, safely delivered 
hot and fresh, at an affordable 
price. But tastes vary widely across 
regions, countries, and even within 
friend and family groups.
Our talented chefs in development 
kitchens in Europe work hard to 
develop delicious new meals and 
side items and to improve existing 
favourites. As just one example, 
Domino’s Benelux this year found 
the perfect way to help customers 
enjoy their leftover pizza crusts, 
launching the “After Dinner Dip” – a 
garlic and herb dip for customers to 
enjoy every morsel of their meal.
A Domino’s pizza starts with 
our high-quality dough, and this 
year Denmark developed and 
implemented Back of House dough. 
This means our dough is made fresh 
in store (similar to Australia/New 
Zealand) allowing lower freight costs 
without sacrificing taste or freshness.
One of pizza’s unique attributes 
that make it perfect for sharing 
is its ability to meet the needs of 
every person in a household. It’s 
particularly important where, when 
selecting a shared meal, one friend 
or family member has specific 
dietary requirements that could 
otherwise mean a preferred brand 
or cuisine type is off the menu for 
the entire group. But from vegans 
to vegetarians, flexitarians to the 
curious, a Domino’s meal has got you 
covered. As a perfect example, in 
France (January) Domino’s launched 
the Basilica pizza in three recipes 
to cater for all preferences; the 
Poulet, the Veggie, and the Vegan. 
In Germany, Domino’s launched 
three vegan pizzas, a vegan range of 
dips, sauces, dressings as well as a 
vegan cookie, to cater for increasing 
demand from our customers. The 
Vegan BBQ Pizza was awarded by 
PETA. The “Cheese Love” Pizza, 
launched in October 20 as part of 
the Promo “We love Pizza” was the 
most successful promo pizza ever in 
Germany. 

One of the most successful product 
developments in recent Domino’s 
history was in the Benelux, with 
the launch of Domino’s Crunchy 
Chicken. This delicious, new, oven-
baked offering has been more than 
three years in the making. Starting 
with Domino’s innovation chefs 
and senior leadership team touring 
multiple international markets, 
including the United States, through 
to sensory testing of different flavour 
and texture combinations, multiple 
product formulations in partnership 
with our suppliers, then market 
research in Australia, through to an 
eventual launch in Europe. The wait 
was worth it, with Domino’s Crunchy 
Chicken not only rapidly offering 
a popular new item on the menu, 
but also attracting new customers 
to try Domino’s for the first time. 
While some customers are enjoying 
Domino’s Crunchy Chicken as a new 
side item, others are enjoying it as 
the central part of a meal. The launch 
was helped by an innovative new 
television and marketing campaign 
offering customers ‘The Box and 
the Bucket’ – that is, you’ve already 
ordered a pizza in a box, now you 
can add a bucket of Domino’s 
Crunchy Chicken. Local management 
is confident of the potential to serve 
more customers with Domino’s 
Crunchy Chicken in the years ahead.
We never take things too seriously 
however, and this year Domino’s 
France and Benelux teams launched 
an extreme promotion with ‘spicy 
roulette’ – a Halloween limited 
time offer in which one of the slices 
comes with an extra spicy pepper.
One change that didn’t make it to 
the menu however – the removal of 
pineapple. This topping is both loved 
and controversial for pizza fans in 
many countries and for April Fools’ 
Day Domino’s Netherlands pranked 
the public by offering to remove this 
important ingredient. The result was 
more than 60 million reach in media 
attention, and an outpouring of love 
for pineapple – it’s here to stay.

DOMINO‘S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LTD | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | YEAR IN REVIEWOperational Excellence
Across Europe, team members have excelled over the 
past year, delivering more meals in faster times than ever 
before.
The driving force behind ongoing improvements has 
been a focus on team member development, and 
continuing innovations that help make our people and 
our stores more productive.
In France, operational teams have continued to roll out 
Project Reset – a program launched in FY20 designed 
to showcase best practice operations to the rest of 
the store’s network. Project Reset operates at several 
corporate stores in Paris, leading by example showing 
the achievements stores can make with Domino’s 
technology and High Volume Mentality approach. It is 
increasingly being embraced by franchisees.
This year, as part of Project Reset, the French operations 
team continued to roll-out flat boxing to stores. Flat 
boxing sees cooked pizzas, fresh from the oven, placed 
directly onto a flat box, which is then folded around the 
meal – with the pizza untouched by team members’ 
hands. The result is less operational complexity, and 
faster execution. Project Reset is also leading the way 
with converting to ‘Fast Bake’ ovens – now being 
installed in all new stores. Fast Bake ovens will drive 
continued reductions in delivery times, already we 
are seeing improvements in delivery times across 
the country.. Faster deliveries are not only about new 
technology; the operations team have started to train 
stores on using a team member as a ‘runner’, a team 
member who can help co-ordinate delivery drivers on 
busier shifts.
Project Reset has demonstrated what is possible, with 
the Paris 13 BNF store again one of the fastest stores 
in the world, for the second year running. This year the 
team achieved an average delivery time of 12 minutes 
and 7 seconds for an entire year.
In Germany, our delivery experts have accelerated 
average delivery times despite double-digit growth in 
delivery volumes in the past year. Hosted webinars have 
guided team members through the background and 
purpose of 3TEN, and providing solutions to operations-
related challenges that otherwise would be barriers to 

fast delivery. The training and mindset shift has been 
making a difference – national estimated delivery 
times reduced by 1.5 minutes this year, and the Berlin 
Charlottenburg Nord corporate store set a new national 
record for fast delivery: all orders delivered in an average 
of 9 minutes 27 seconds (April). 
The Netherlands achieved a new world record for an 
entire Domino’s market, with all orders for an entire week 
delivered in an average of 17 minutes and 19 seconds, 
which followed extensive planning and preparation as 
part of Domino’s internal ‘olympics’. Fast, safe deliveries 
matter to our customers – the Netherlands effort 
resonated with customers, lifting sales and delivering 
higher customer satisfaction scores. The team in Belgium 
has focused on reducing delivery times and has made 
a significant impact. As delivery volumes increased 
during COVID by almost 20 per cent, the team set a new 
market record of 20 minutes and 38 seconds, almost 
three minutes less than the average for the year. As in 
France, Belgium has been adopting the lessons of using 
flat boxing, with half of the market using the process and 
reaping the rewards of faster delivery.
Denmark has focused on execution throughout the 
market’s operations, including safe, fast deliveries. The 
Søborg store set a new record for the market of 13 
minutes and 54 secords – without the benefit of fast 
ovens or technology such as predictive ordering. This 
compares to a national average of about 21 minutes, and 
compared to major competitors at 45 minutes.
A Domino’s Value is to help people grow and prosper 
– and this year we invested in our team members’ 
roles, and their future, with more training and additional 
technology.
In France, we launched the Domino’s Academy as a 
mobile application on both Apple and Android, which 
allows team members to progress their training in 
understanding all aspects of a Domino’s store at their 
own pace. We have also launched a series of Webinars 
focusing on different operational subjects.
In the Benelux, Domino’s has started a monthly webinar 
series for operational excellence in stores, focused 
on everything from dough proofing, and pizza making 
through to growing sales. By using a QR code to sign up,

broadly throughout the network. The success has been 
clear, particularly in expanding newer franchisees store 
level profitability, with average EBITDA growing/of more 
than 19 per cent.
In Germany, operations staff in the field quickly 
adapted to COVID by offering video-calls for franchisee 
business consulting as well as training on Domino’s 
Operational Evaluation Report (OER) system – designed 
to benchmark every store in the world on a consistent 
basis. This not only was demonstrated to be time 
saving, but also effective for attendees. Similar to the 
Netherlands, Germany has also launched a webinar 
of the month series, covering topics from reporting, 
customer feedback management and online payment 
procedures. Operations team members continue to 
envelop franchisees into the Domino’s Pizza Enterprises 
Ltd culture (with many having started in the pizza 
businesses in the subsequently acquired Joeys Pizza 
and Hallo Pizza chains). Domino’s Germany has launched 
three culture classes; new employee orientation, 
Excellence is Expected (EiE), and High Volume Mentality 
(HVM). German CEO Stoffel Thijs co-hosts both the EiE 
and the HVM classes, showing our dedication to training.
Operations staff have also been training franchisees 
and team members on HVM through webinars and 
in-store training. HVM is about removing barriers in our 
stores that would otherwise limit team members’ ability 
to effectively service a growing number of customers. 
As one example, an ongoing menu optimisation test in 
German stores is delivering customers increased choice, 
without overcomplicating the menu or store processes. 
The German store network has rapidly adopted HVM, 
with franchisees now investing in equipment to handle 
increased store sales: more than 33 per cent of stores 
have bought new, larger capacity ovens in the past 12 
months. 
With new efficiencies, growing profitability and increased 
cultural alignment across the country, Domino’s 
Germany has now launched the Top Shop program, a 
leaderboard system where stores recording the best Key 
Performance Indicators (including average delivery times, 
e-learning performance and OER scores) are rewarded.

Mahazo’s Story
When Mahazo took the important step from employee, to 
employer, he had big plans for his business and this year 
he set an even bigger goal.
“I wanted to grow the turnover of my three stores in Le 
Mans to €2 million. This was a significant step up from 
when I bought the three stores, when the cumulative 
turnover was €1.45 million.
“There was no question in my mind that our stores were 
not reaching their full potential. I had seen the capacity 
of other stores, in Le Mans and in other areas of France, 
and determined I would be able to similarly deliver high 
volume mentality in my stores.”
To reach his goal, Mahazo focused on investing more 
in local store marketing to attract new customers to the 
brand, and to improve the service from his stores, to 
keep those customers and to build ordering frequency of 
his existing customers.

“This year we implemented a consistent local store 
marketing plan in collaboration with the operational team. 
We targeted off-peak periods, for example the third week 
of each month, sending targeted SMS deals to customers 
with an attractive offer.
“There are three main radio stations in Le Mans, so we 
undertook three radio appearances, with a special ‘Bon 
appétit with Domino’s Pizza’ offer running for six months. 
I also partnered with local hotel chains in Le Mans, 
making sure their guests know we are an affordable 
meal, delivered fast, when they need a break while on 
holidays. 
“And then we highlighted all of our actions and offers on 
social networks.
“As a result of this focus, we’ve easily met and beaten our 
goal – now we’re setting higher goals, and I’m confident 
we can achieve them.”

Sjoerd’s Story
People come first. That is the simple mantra that drives 
franchisee, Sjoerd van Seters. His human-centred 
approach has helped him achieve a major milestone in 
the past year with four of his five stores reaching above 
€20,000 average weekly unit sales. 
The incredible result was achieved through a focus on 
growth: customers and employees. 
Sjoerd developed a customer growth plan that was 
underpinned by a simple philosophy of doing the little 
things well. The areas of attention centred on efficient 
delivery times of under 20 minutes, a high score on 
product quality, fair product pricing and keeping all stores 
maintained and in good condition.
For employee growth, Sjoerd has heavily invested in his 
staff, creating a positive work environment that has seen 
some stay for more than 10 years.
“I believe that taking good care of your people leads to 
success. We have a very loyal and hard-working team, 
which was achieved through investing and supporting 
them.”

He has established initiatives to aid staff in their career 
pathways, including financial support for managers 
undertaking studies and personal development. Such 
is the importance of the well-being of all employees, a 
‘Happiness Coach’ was brought onboard to ensure a 
positive, vibrant workplace. 
Sjoerd recognises there is hidden potential within the 
team. To develop future leaders, management is always 
on the lookout for career progression. Field trainers are 
available to mentor and upskill those showing potential 
to give them the confidence to pursue new opportunities.
The focus on growth this year has been a constant 
reminder to Sjoerd that, at the end of the day, we are in 
more than just the pizza business: we are in the people 
business.

Islams’s Story
Domino’s is already one of the largest fast-food delivery 
chains in the Leuven region. But multi-unit franchisee 
Islam Yassine understands that the key to his future 
success is opening more stores, closer to his customers.
The secret to our growth is because we don’t ever want 
to lose a customer – that requires the best service and 
operational execution. Because the speed of our delivery 
is so important, the only way to safely do this was for us 
to open another store in our existing delivery territory.
“By having two stores now cover the same delivery area, 
we are closer to the customer and can deliver to them 
faster,” Islam said.
“We have also benefitted from servicing more carry-out 
customers from the city, because we are more visible, 
with more marketing and more delivery vehicles putting 
our professionalism on display.”
“Just because we are the number one pizza chain in our 
city, does not mean that we can rest easy – we put in 
place a local store marketing program to maximise our 
presence for customers.”

Islam’s store undertook their own local leaflet distribution 
into customers mailboxes, which delivered a very strong 
result, activated Facebook advertising and conducted 
other targeted marketing initiatives.
“The most important thing we can do to market to our 
customers is delivering the best possible service to our 
existing customers, and I’m very proud of the operational 
focus of our team that has ensured both stores are 
delivering in reduced times, so our customers receive 
the hottest, freshest pizza possible.”
“With these initiatives lifting our sales in the city, we now 
have even more capacity to fund additional marketing 
and customer targeting initiatives and if we continue to 
deliver the service of which we are capable, the future is 
very bright for our business.”

Ramon’s Story
Ramon Möhle credits two international trips to his 
success; in 2016 to participate in his first Domino’s 
Worldwide Rally, and in 2018 to Australia, to meet with 
experienced Domino’s franchisees.
“The insights I have gained from meeting other Domino’s 
franchisees have left me with lasting impressions of the 
world of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd and helped me 
to improve my business,” Ramon said.
The experienced franchisee has been relentlessly 
focused on efficiency as a key to performance in his 
business; increasing the number of online orders, 
investing in training to have the most efficient and 
engaged team members, and improving communications 
to ensure everyone contributes to success.
“All of this combines in ensuring a hungry customer gets 
their food quicker, which means their pizza will be hotter 
and fresher. It’s a winning customer experience, which 
means they come back again sooner, and the increased 
number of online orders starts the entire cycle again.”

Underpinning Ramon’s success is a drive to measure 
each aspect of his business to ensure every part is 
contributing to increased efficiency and greater success.
“We measure how many customers are ordering online 
and actively work to have customers use this channel as 
it’s easier for them and they can achieve more savings. 
Increased online sales benefits our stores as well – 
we’ve been able to increase our sales per hour for each 
team member on shift by 13 per cent in the past 1.5 years.
“We analyse our vehicle fleet for efficiencies, optimising 
and seeking efficiencies in the type of vehicles we’re 
using, and the processes and times our drivers use in the 
store. This has reduced our delivery times by 25 per cent 
over the same time.”
Ramon’s focus is delivering ongoing success, and 
developing a new generation of committed team 
members who also want to grow – their next opportunity 
will be in Ramon’s newest store in Göttingen in Financial 
Year 2022.

DOMINO‘S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LTD | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | YEAR IN REVIEWJAPAN

The 23rd of June marked a major 
milestone day for Domino’s Japan 
– our team opened 10 new stores 
(seven franchised), including our 
800th for the market. 
This was a highlight for our team  
but was just one of many highlights 
in an extraordinary year. Each  
was the direct result of strong 
leadership across all levels of  
the business, focused on the 
execution of our strategy. 
Previously our dough production 
(the heart of a high 
quality Domino’s 
meal) and 
our freight 

distribution model prevented us from 
accessing some regions of Japan. 
No more: with strategic changes, 
including the ability to now make 
dough fresh in store, we have 
opened up new markets  
– accessing seven new  
prefectures, including Hokkaido. 
A focus on franchise activation and 
leadership delivered strong direct 
sales generation and more efficient 
operations. This flowed through to 
record store level profitability and 
significant franchisee store growth: 

from 44 per cent of our system 
this time last year to 50.75 
per cent of the system 
this year, a growth 
in the number of 
franchised stores 
of 32.25 per cent. 

We opened 126 new stores and 
significantly increased our television 
advertising across all prefectures. 
We launched three significant layers: 
Half Price carry-out, No Minimum 
Delivery, and Large + Medium Buy 
One Get One delivery. Each allows 
us to reach new customers while 
protecting our special occasion 
segment. 
We challenged our operations this 
year to shift our mindset on delivery 
though 3TEN and achieve a world 
record – a week of deliveries, for the 
entire market, of less than 17 minutes 
– which we achieved. This reduced 
our average delivery time 33 per 
cent for the year, versus three  
years ago. 
We are passionate in Japan about 
doing the right thing, because 
it’s the right thing to do. This year 
we donated more than 400,000 
pizzas through our Feed the Need 
program. This program has helped 
demonstrate Domino’s Japan is a 
values-driven company. We have 
also made significant strides in our 
efforts to reduce our carbon footprint 
with 45 per cent of Tokyo deliveries 
now completed on an ebike  
or electric assisted vehicle. This 
represents a 30 per cent nationwide 
usage of bicycles for delivery,  
up from 14 per cent in 2018. 
Our results were because of our 
people, and this year it has been 
our privilege to employ 7,000 team 
members, building a strong pipeline 
of store managers. They are the key 
to future expansion and success  
and we look forward to updating  
you on our progress.

Digital Innovation
Japan’s digital team has developed a reputation for 
delivering innovative projects that are considered market 
leading, not only for Domino’s Pizza Enterprises, but for  
the Quick Service Restaurant industry. This year was  
no different. 
The team rolled out new innovations to enhance the 
customer experience when ordering Domino’s, to help  
team members become more efficient, and to allow 
Domino’s Japan to provide the optimal online  
experience to increasingly digital-focused customers. 
We provided new connections to allow customers to 
order however they choose, whether through Domino’s 
own platforms or via third-party aggregators. This year we 
connected two new aggregators, Uber Eats and a pilot  
of Food Panda, to allow more customers to order from  
more stores. 
On our own platforms Augmented Reality (AR) was a key 
tool in customer-facing digital initiatives including the 
development of an AR app for the World 10 Cheese Quattro 
pizza, an AR social video game app for the Cheese Fondue 
pizza and an AR Pizza Size smartphone tool to coincide with 
the launch of the Ultra Jumbo 46cm Pizza Size. 
Customer-facing initiatives were not only about providing 
more fun, but more peace of mind, including the launch  
of “Smart Drive Through Carry Out” service (Zero Contact), 
enabling an extra layer of customer comfort during the 
COVID-19 pandemic. 
In October we migrated Japan onto a new cloud marketing 
automation platform, to better personalise our email 
marketing to customers. This has allowed us to make 
convenient, personalised notifications, for example letting 
them know when their saved Domino’s vouchers will expire. 

Central to our customer initiatives was the launch of 
Domino’s Japan’s Customer Lifetime Value program, 
with optimised offerings and simplified user experiences 
across all channels, to provide a more tailored 
experience and better serve customers based  
on their ordering history. 
We invest to help our people grow and prosper, 
relaunching our education management system using 
new technology, to provide a more enjoyable user 
experience to team members undertaking training,  
and added games to better simulate better crew trainings. 
The team also launched new operational enhancements 
behind the scenes, including new reporting functionality 
for store managers, as well as head office, and a new 
store inventory tool connected to our Point of Sale 
system Pulse, delivering productivity gains. 
This work was supported by infrastructure enhancements 
and security upgrades, removing legacy systems and 
strengthening the OneDigital Online ordering platform  
to resource record numbers of online customers. 
These investments delivered for customers and for 
Domino’s Japan, with online sales reaching a record  
77.8 per cent, up from 73.6 per cent in the prior year.

DOMINO‘S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LTD | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | YEAR IN REVIEWFood Innovation
We were excited this year to again 
bring a number of premium products 
to customers developed in Japan  
by our local development kitchen. 
The Japanese menu is renowned  
for differences, promoting some  
of the most premium ingredients  
in the Domino’s world, as well as  
the unique fact that the most popular 
pizza sold is a ‘Quattro’. A Quattro 
offers four different flavours on the 
one base, providing a similar meal 
experience to a bento box, with 
difference flavours and textures. 
This year’s menu innovation was  
no different, from launching the 
World 10 Cheese Quattro pizza  
in August – with premium flavours 
including Beemster Cheese 
(warranted by the Royal Court of 
the Netherlands), French Mimolette 
Cheese and Shrimp, and English 
cheddar cheese and ham. 
The team also launched a Star Chef 
Quattro in time for Christmas, with 
each of the four flavours curated  
by a Michelin starred chef, as well 
as celebrating local flavours with the 
Quattro Nippon in May – featuring 
Mayo Mochi, Hokkaido 3 Cheese, 
Charcoal Grilled Chiki-Teri, and 
Charcoal Grilled Beef. 
May also saw the launch of an 
entirely new product category,  
the Pizza Rice Bowl. This innovative 
product followed customer feedback, 
particularly from parents, they  
were eager to include rice in a family 
Domino’s meal – and the Pizza Rice 
Bowl features tasty butter rice topped 
with sauce, cheese and toppings just 
like a pizza. The Pizza Rice Bowls are 
available in seven flavours. 

Continuous improvement in 
a franchisee system relies on 
continuous improvement for all 
franchisees, and this year Domino’s 
Japan introduced the Franchise 
Business Review Program. The 
program sees business consultants 
from within Domino’s Japan work with 
all franchisees in a quarterly review, 
which examines all key performance 
indicators and store financials. The 
franchisee and consultant work 
together to develop a timeline 
focused on short-, mid- and long-
term planning around operations, 
development, people and marketing. 
This year the Franchise Business 
Review Program was complemented 
by the launch of the Franchise Kaizen 
Operations 360 Bootcamp.  
This bootcamp is an intensive 
program focused on building 
the skillsets and implementing a 
turnaround plan for our franchisees 
who are not currently meeting 
the expectations they share with 
Domino’s Japan. 
Domino’s is committed to 
transparency with customers, and 
one of its newest stores has taken 
this to a new level. The ‘transparent 
store’ in Odaiba, uses glass as 
much as possible, not only from 
the front counter but right through 
to the refrigerator and walk-in 
cooler. The transparent store 
demonstrates Domino’s Japan’s high 
quality practices (including freshly 
made dough), automated change 
dispensers for cash, and even pizza 
making live streamed to the internet.

transparent store in action

Domino’s Japan launched new,  
ultra-premium offerings this year,  
but local customers (as in all markets) 
also appreciate high quality ingredients 
delivered at an affordable price. The 
local team were proud to announce 
this year they have removed all 
artificial preservatives, flavours and 
colours from all pizzas and sides by 
May 19th. This is a first for the local 
industry and demonstrates Domino’s 
Japan is committed to leading the 
way when it comes to delivering high 
quality meals for local customers.

Operational Excellence
Domino’s Japan is determined to 
set the standard for 3TEN, and has 
challenged every team member and 
franchisee to commit to continued 
improvement in delivering meals 
safely and fast. This year this included 
a challenge to all store operations,  
to set a new world record of less than 
17 minutes for the average delivery 
(from customers placing an order to 
it being delivered piping hot to their 
door). The challenge was for the 
entire market to achieve this goal  
and they surpassed it, with an 
average delivery time for the entire 
week across Japan of just 16 minutes 
and 21 seconds. Over the past three 
years Domino’s Japan has lowered 
the average delivery time by  
33 per cent, despite sales increasing 
by 30.9 per cent. The ability to serve 
record sales this year, while also 
safely delivering meals in record 
beating times (page 28) was a tribute 
to extensive planning and training 
across the Domino’s Japan business. 
Domino’s invests to create devotion, 
in our customers and in our team 
members, and Domino’s Japan this 
year launched the Franchise Business 
School – a training program focused 
on setting up store managers for 
success as they become Franchisees 
for the first time.

Tanizawa’s Story
Tanizawa-san has a laser-like focus on leadership 
development within his ten store franchise network, 
across Chiba, Ibaraki and Tokyo.
Having grown up in the business, with experience  
as a delivery expert, store manager and supervisor,  
Tanizawa-san understands that a high-performing store 
relies on a high-performing team. 
Because of the growing size of his multi-unit franchise, 
this means exceptional store managers are key, and 
Tanizawa-san is focused on training, coaching and 
development of his management teams to create  
strong leadership across his organisation.
This has included a consistent training program that 
extends beyond the classroom. Tanizawa-san takes 
managers on tours of other stores in his business,  
as well as visiting high-performing corporate stores  
and those being operated by other successful 
franchisees, to learn from the best and identify  
practices they can apply in their own operations. 
To ensure every team member’s focus is aligned, 
Tanizawa-san has developed an incentives scheme 

to reward performance. “These efforts have created a 
group of brilliant leaders who are all extremely focused 
around complete operational excellence,” he said.
The results of this focus have been clear across his 
store network. This year Tanizawa-san’s stores achieved 
an average of 4 stars on Operations Evaluation Report 
inspections, an average delivery time of 18 minutes  
and 57 seconds, and 18.18% same store sales growth.
For Tanizawa-san’s leadership, he was awarded a  
Golden Franny for his leadership by Domino’s Pizza Inc.
Tanizawa-san has set ambitious goals for his stores’ 
future performance, including an average delivery  
time under 10 minutes, 5 star OER across all stores, 
1,000 weekly customers across all stores and increasing 
the number of stores in his business. Most importantly, 
his goal includes having one of his store managers be 
recognised as Japan’s Store Manager of the Year.
He believes with continued focus on leadership 
development, these goals are within reach.

DOMINO‘S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LTD | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | YEAR IN REVIEWAUSTRALIA 
NEW ZEALAND

In a year characterised by an 
uncontrollable and dynamic  
external environment, our  
busines’s strengths continued  
to shine through. These strengths 
included our franchisees working  
in collaboration across Australia  
and New Zealand, a strong 
leadership team committed to 
making big and bold decisions,  
and our ingrained focus on 
continuous innovation. 
We were proud to show leadership 
in the way we deployed technology 
to adapt to changing conditions 
and customer expectations, with 
the Australian-first pilot and broader 
launch of Domino’s Car Park 
Delivery. The offering 
is a first for the 
Quick Service 
Restaurant 
(QSR) 

industry in Australia. Our DOM 
Pizza Checker also received added 
functionality, with the introduction 
of the ‘cleanliness feature’, helping 
our team members uphold our 
high standard of hygiene in 
stores. Our new ‘Call on Arrival’ 
offering is also a perfect example 
of our technology, enhancing our 
customers’ experience to ensure 
they receive the hottest, freshest 
products possible at their doors. The 
success of 3TEN and the Operations 
360 program has also led to these 
initiatives becoming an integral and 
ongoing part of our strategy. 
Even when faced with a pandemic 
and uncertainty, I am proud of the 

hard work and commitment that all 

of our franchisees and team 
members have shown, 

reinforcing our desire to 
continue to innovate, 

invest and lead 
with courage for 
the benefit of our 
business, team 
and customers. 

We understand that the future of our 
industry is delivered food, and the 
cost of the last mile of delivery will 
increasingly be the deciding factor in 
which businesses survive, and which 
thrive. Fortressing our market, and 
reaching our long-term store target 
of 1,200 stores for Australia and New 
Zealand, is a vital part of embracing 
our future. Accordingly, one of our 
most significant decisions this year 
was the announcement of ‘Project 
Ignite’, a four-year stimulus package 
commencing from 1 July 2021. 
The package is designed to Ignite 
franchisee payback (the number 
of years required for a new store 
to recoup its investment) and the 
initial feedback from our franchisees 
eager to grow their businesses 
has been positive. Project Ignite 
solidifies Domino’s Australia and 
New Zealand’s commitment towards 
driving growth and ensuring both the 
business, and our franchisees, are 
well-positioned for future success.

DOMINO‘S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LTD | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | YEAR IN REVIEWFood Innovation
In a year that saw a growing customer demand to buy 
local, we responded by sourcing quality, farm-fresh 
ingredients to inspire our new items and limited edition 
offerings. These menu innovations not only delivered 
mouth-watering flavours, but doubly satisfied by 
supporting local businesses and farms across  
Australia and New Zealand. 
Our new Super Premium (AU) and Super Gourmet 
(NZ) ranges launched in April 2021, featuring the finest 
Australian and New Zealand duck, beef, salmon and 
farm-fresh rocket, cheeses, pumpkin and broccoli. 
Some of the mouth-watering combinations included the 
Smoked Brisket Cheese Steak, the Crispy BBQ Peking 
Duck and the Smoky Beef Brisket & Prawn. Popular 
demand for these gourmet flavours at affordable prices 
saw a second phase launched in June, adding Salmon  
& Prawn Supreme, Smoked Salmon, Parmesan & Rocket, 
Roasted Vegetable Deluxe and Crispy BBQ Peking Duck 
& Bacon to the menu. 
Domino’s also launched five new chicken products 
for summer 2020, featuring 100% Australian and New 
Zealand chicken. Chicken Supreme, Buffalo Chicken  
and Chicken Fresco were added to our pizza menu, 
while Boneless Chicken Tenders and Seasoned  
Chicken wings launched alongside sauces,  
including the infamous Franks Red Hot sauce. 
In Australia, a limited-edition innovation was the 
‘quintessentially Aussie’ Sausage Sizzle pizza. With 
the authentic taste of BBQ beef sausage, grilled onion, 
stretchy mozzarella, tomato sauce and mustard on a 
classic pizza base, the flavours combined to bring back 
fond memories of this Aussie classic. 
In New Zealand, a collaboration with PURE New Zealand 
Ice Cream allowed us to add its award-winning ice cream 
to our menu and work together to launch an exclusive 
‘choc orange’ flavour. This successful partnership was 
made even sweeter because PURE’s business had 
been significantly impacted by reduced tourist numbers, 
making this collaboration significant to the company’s 
continuing success. 
On top of providing our customers with innovative 
products, we continued to strive to deliver the 
exceptional value they know and love. This was 
highlighted with the launch of our New Everyday Value 
Range, with mini, large or extra-large value range pizza  
at unbelievable prices of only AUD/NZ $3/$3.99,  
$5 and $7/$8 each, respectively. 
Finally, an overwhelming customer response saw 
the return of a crowd favourite and highlighted the 
importance of the work we do around customer 
engagement. We asked our social media followers 
whether or not the Puff Pastry Crust should make a 
comeback, with an overwhelming response seeing  
the popular crust reinstated on our menu for a limited 
time.

68

DOMINO‘S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LTD | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | YEAR IN REVIEWDespite the challenges, we have continued 
to see the resilience and perseverance of our 
team to push through and deliver exceptional 
products and service to our customers.

For example, Domino’s Northam 
was recognised as the fastest pizza 
store in Australia and New Zealand 
and the second-fastest in the world, 
with an average home delivery time 
of 12 minutes and 20 seconds over 
an entire year. In Queensland, the 
entire market attempted to achieve 
a sub-20-minute estimated delivery 
time record and just missed out by 
three minutes and six seconds. It’s 
only a matter of time before this 
record is achieved. 
The Operations 360 program 
continued to enhance the quality 
of our store network by providing 
data that allows franchisees, store 
managers and team members to 
benchmark against other stores.  
The program has also helped 
with the upcoming opening of the 
landmark container store in Tawa, 
New Zealand, which is the first 
owned and operated Domino’s  
Pizza Enterprises Ltd store of its kind. 
In April, we mobilised a national 
recruitment drive to employ an 
additional 2,500 team members 
across Australia, with an 
overwhelming response. The current 
climate has seen the need for more 
delivery experts and team members 
across the QSR industry because of 
the shift towards delivery for many 
businesses. 
To round off an action-packed 
year, it was important to pause to 
celebrate the amazing work of our 
franchisees. In May, we held our first 
inaugural Franchisee Appreciation 
Day, recognising the efforts of the 
hard-working franchisees who make 
our business so great. 

Digital Innovation 

The ongoing changes in customer 
behaviours and expectations as a 
result of COVID-19 sparked many 
of our digital innovations this year. 
Our company’s history of adaptation 
gave us the confidence to pivot in 
this continually changing world. 
As a response to ongoing 
lockdowns in 2020, we successfully 
trialled Domino’s Car Park Delivery 
in July in Victoria before rolling this 
option out across Australia and  
New Zealand. The service provides  
zero-contact pick-up, allowing 
customers to collect their favourite 
pizzas from the comfort and safety 
of their vehicles. Best of all,  
the service does not cost extra, 
making it a first of its kind for the 
QSR industry in Australia and  
New Zealand. 
We know that every minute counts 
when delivering safe, piping hot 
pizza. In September, Domino’s 
Australia and New Zealand launched 
‘Call On Arrival’ technology that 
ensures customers are ready to 
receive their pizzas moments 
before they arrive. This drastically 
reduces the amount of time it takes 
customers to accept their order by 
triggering an automated voice call 
to the customer approximately two 
minutes before their delivery expert 
is expected at the door. 
In stores, DOM Pizza Checker 
also added functionality with the 
introduction of a ‘cleanliness 
feature’. This feature ensures 
Domino’s stores across Australia 
and New Zealand stay on top of 
cleaning and sanitising at a time 
where this has never been more 
important. The app alerts a store 
when the cut bench (where pizzas 
are cut and boxed) needs cleaning, 
resulting in cleanliness being top  
of mind even during busy periods. 
Similar to Europe, ANZ also launched 
a modern and simplified online 
ordering site design in July, which 
followed extensive customer testing 
and research, and added a range of 
user-experience improvements. We 
know some customers like to order 
through other platforms,  

so in September we integrated 
UberEats, making these orders 
connect more seamlessly with our 
systems, and saving time for our  
in-store team members. 
We also know customers want to 
use their preferred payment method. 
In September we successfully 
migrated Australia to our new global 
payments technology partner, 
Adyen. With all markets now using 
the same payment technology,  
we can offer customers a range  
of new payment methods in the 
future and an enhanced seamless 
payment experience. 
Our year was topped off with 
the Domino’s Digital Team being 
shortlisted in the IDC Digital 
Transformation Awards. The 
outstanding work recognised the 
team for developing Zero Contact 
Delivery through the ‘Special Award 
for Resiliency’ category.

Operational Excellence

Support for our franchisees and 
team members has continued to  
be at the forefront of our minds 
during a challenging year with a 
global pandemic and rising food 
and labour costs. Despite the 
challenges, we have continued to 
see the resilience and perseverance 
of our team to push through and 
deliver exceptional products and 
service to our customers. 
To combat some of these 
challenges, Domino’s Australia and 
New Zealand announced ‘Project 
Ignite’, a stimulus package created 
to drive store growth. The package 
will be rolled out over four years, 
commencing from 1 July 2021.  
The impact will be felt through 
improved store profitability and will 
help to stimulate growth well into 
the future. 
The success of the 3TEN, which is 
our goal to have hot, freshly made 
pizza ready for carry-out within 
three minutes and delivered within 
ten, has led to this now becoming 
a permanent part of our DNA. 
This was demonstrated through 
outstanding individual store results.

Mark‘s Story
Mark’s goal is to be the “number one team in the 
Domino’s universe at training our people, to train 
our people” and he is obsessed with training and 
development in all areas of the business. 
As he has successfully grown his store network to more 
than 10 stores with more than 280 employees, Mark’s 
focus has been to invest heavily in his people and 
training programs. 
“Well-trained team members mean we can deliver  
better products and service for our customers.” 
Dedicated to implementing unique training programs, 
identifying skills sets, and empowering and trusting  
his Store Managers to lead, Mark believes a focus  
on training is the best investment you can make  
as a franchisee. 
“Training is not just showing someone how to do 
something – it’s about teaching them and giving them 
the right tools for them to learn, and then the confidence 
to try and succeed on their own. 

“By training our people to train our people, we are one 
step closer to achieving our vision of owning 100 stores in 
the next 20 years. Because having the right systems and 
people in place means we can jump on any expansion 
opportunity that comes our way, at any time.
“With people who are expertly trained in all areas of 
the Domino’s business, we can expand and move into 
new markets with little to no disruptions to existing store 
operations – maintaining high standards of customer 
service and product quality.” 
In 2020, Mark received a DPE Global Leadership 
Eagle Award for demonstrating exceptional leadership, 
operational excellence, and focus on people 
development. This award is only given to one person 
each year across all of DPE’s nine markets and is the 
highest honour you can achieve at Domino’s.

Amandeep’s Story
Amandeep Singh (Aman) is a fleet enthusiast. He knows 
first-hand the savings that can be made by dedicating 
time to running your own fleet, specifically electric 
vehicles. Not only does this deliver lower costs, but 
also frequently means faster delivery times and more 
productive team members.
Aman first became convinced of his approach when 
visiting stores in Sydney Australia, and decided to  
invest in five ebikes.
“The real test was getting my team members to use 
them for deliveries. I started with one dedicated ebike 
rider and soon discovered that I needed to hire team 
members specifically to ride the bikes, people who  
were passionate about bicycle delivery.”
“Ebikes offer a low barrier of entry for new team 
members as they don’t need to have their own vehicle 
and only need to have a learner’s license in order to  
ride the bikes.

“For 90% of new team members it’s their first job and 
they love it, because we hire team members specifically 
to ride ebikes, train them well, and invest in the proper 
equipment for them, including wet weather gear.”
The focus of the government and local councils on cycle 
lanes in cities and towns around the country have aided 
in the adoption of ebikes. Aman finds using ebikes for 
delivery is just as safe for his team members, if not safer, 
than other forms of delivery vehicle and it’s helping those 
staff keep fit and healthy as well. 
Although Aman still has some team members using their 
own vehicles for delivery his goal for this coming year is 
to have all of his stores using his fleet exclusively, with a 
big focus on e-fleet. The savings and efficiencies have 
been significant and, because of their quiet operation 
and reduced emissions, they’re also benefitting the 
environment and the community.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The Group’s principal activities in the course of the financial year were the operation of retail food outlets and the operation of franchise 
services. During the financial year there were no significant changes in the nature of those activities.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The activities and financial performance of the Group and each of its operating segments for the financial year are set out on pages 6 to 7.

EXPLANATION OF STATUTORY PROFIT TO UNDERLYING PROFIT

Statutory profit after tax is prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards, which comply with 
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Statutory profit after tax of $193.1 million includes a loss of $4.5 million after tax treated as significant items. Excluding these items, the Underlying 
Profit after tax was $197.6 million, 30.3% up on the prior corresponding period.

Underlying profit after tax is reported to give information to shareholders that provides a greater understanding of the performance of the 
Company’s operations. DPE believes Underlying Profit after tax is useful as it removes significant items thereby facilitating a more representative 
comparison of financial performance between financial periods. Underlying Profit is a non-IFRS measure which is not subject to audit or review.

There has not been any matter or circumstance occurring subsequent to the end of the financial year that has significantly affected, or may 
significantly affect, the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years 
other than the matters disclosed in note 30.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY RISKS

The Group is currently not subject to any significant environmental or social sustainability risk that have a immediate impact on its operations.

However, the directors understand the Group operates in a rapidly changing global landscape with increasing demands from its stakeholders 
regarding environmental and social responsibility, risk management and associated reporting. Equally, the Group continues to recognise the 
importance of its social and ethical responsibilities to communities in which it operates. Accordingly, this financial year the Group undertook 
meaningful actions in this regard as demonstrated by the Group’s first sustainability report and the appointment of a Global Chief Environment, 
Social and Governance Officer.

The sustainability report assists the Group with communicating to shareholders its environment, social and governance (ESG) efforts in a 
transparent manner.

To the best of the directors’ knowledge the Group complies with its current obligations under environmental regulations and holds all licenses 
required to undertake its business activities.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (continued)

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND AUDITORS

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

•  a liability to the Company or a related body corporate;

•  a liability to some other person that arises from conduct involving a lack of good faith;

•  a liability for costs and expenses incurred by the director in defending civil or criminal proceedings in which judgement is given against 

the officer or in which the officer is not acquitted; or

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

in connection with the proceedings referred to above. 

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

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

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

DIRECTORS’ MEETINGS

The following table sets out the number of directors’ meetings (including meetings of committees of directors) held during the financial year 
and the number of meetings attended by each director (while they were a director or committee member). During the financial year, twelve (12)

DPE directors have been on the boards of Domino’s Pizza Japan and Domino’s Pizza Germany since DPE started operating those markets. 
In FY21, DPE also established informal “advisory boards” for Australia/NZ, Benelux/Denmark and France. At least 2 of the DPE directors sit 
on each of the 5 boards. The boards meet on a quarterly basis. The meetings are mutually beneficial, providing the DPE directors a better 
understanding of the local management and businesses, and also allowing the DPE directors the opportunity to provide guidance to local 
management more directly.

It is proposed to rotate the DPE directors onto different advisory boards every 2 years so that:

(a)  the DPE directors receive in-depth exposure to different parts of the group over time, and;

(b)  local management receive the benefit of engagement with different DPE Board Members over time.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (continued)

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor are outlined in note 34 of 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 the 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 112 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, CULTURE AND REMUNERATION 
COMMITTEE

Dear fellow Shareholders,

On behalf of the Nomination, Culture and Remuneration Committee (NCRC) and Board, I am pleased to present the remuneration report for 
FY21.

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.

FY21 REMUNERATION OUTCOMES

In FY20 we undertook a significant review of the remuneration framework and progressively introduced this in FY21, including moving all our 
Executive KMP onto a short-term incentive with a cash and equity component (with a 2 year escrow period on the equity). We made changes 
to the long-term incentive program with a move to net-settled options. The use of net-settled options is simpler for participants and doesn’t 
require a cash outlay in order to exercise the options. We met with a number of investors during FY21 in a series of investor briefings in order 
to obtain feedback on the company as a whole as well as the remuneration framework. This is a continuation of briefings conducted in prior 
years where we actively listened to feedback and made changes to our framework as well as our level of disclosure in the remuneration 
report. We find direct shareholder input extremely helpful and will continue this engagement in FY22 and beyond.

Fixed remuneration increases averaged 2.5% for a majority of the executives including the Group CEO/Managing Director to align with our 
objective of rewarding for capability, experience and performance, and to ensure we continue to meet the market on executive remuneration. 
Two executives, Michael Gillespie (Group Chief Digital and Experience Officer) and Josh Kilimnik (CEO Japan) had their roles re-evaluated 
based on performance and scope and therefore received larger increases than the average awarded.

Short-term incentive results for FY21 averaged at 88.9% of bonus opportunity, with the Group CEO/Managing Director receiving 96.6% of his 
bonus opportunity. Long-term incentive outcomes are detailed in the report.

APPLICATION OF DISCRETION DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

We continued to see the impact of COVID-19 on our business in FY21, and as in the prior year the Board undertook a comprehensive review 
of the impact of COVID-19 on the remuneration structures. The Board introduced broader ranges for the short-term incentive targets to take 
into account the unpredictable business environment faced by the Company. This resulted in lowering the threshold targets and increasing 
the strong performance targets. The Board also conducted a formal review of the STI targets following the release of the FY21 H1 results and 
decided to keep the targets as previously determined based on the ongoing uncertainty in the operating environment.

FY22 REMUNERATION & FOCUS

The Nomination, Culture and Remuneration Committee (NCRC) continuously reviews the company’s remuneration practices to ensure that 
they are contemporary and fit for purpose. We are currently reviewing the remuneration structure for the Group CEO/Managing Director with 
a view of increasing the ratio of equity to cash for his remuneration package. The package will be taken to the Annual General Meeting in 
November for shareholder approval.

The Committee also undertook a thorough review of its Charter in April and made several changes to the Charter to ensure that it was relevant 
and focused. The Committee has long had a strong focus on the culture of the organisation as well as driving diversity and inclusion. From 
FY22 the Committee has been renamed the Nomination, Culture and Remuneration Committee (NC&RC) to make more explicit its focus on 
culture within its remit.

This year we have continued 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 I look forward to your attendance at our Annual General Meeting currently 
planned to be held in November 2021.

FY21 PERFORMANCE AND REMUNERATION OUTCOMES

The Managing Director/Group CEO and other Executive KMP received fixed remuneration increases averaging 2.50% during FY21, with the 
exception of 2 executives, Michael Gillespie (Chief Experience Officer) and Josh Kilimnik (CEO Japan) whose roles were revaluated based 
on performance and change of scope.

Our business has performed well during the unprecedented impacts of COVID-19 and continued to safely prepare and deliver meals for our 
customers. Our executives and staff have mobilised quickly to respond to the rapidly changing environment, including implementing new 
operational measures to increase delivery capacity and move to zero contact carry-out and delivery and contactless payments where possible.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, the Group results were positive with record sales and year on year earnings growth. 
STI achievement was strong in FY21 reflecting the hard work of the Executive Team in delivering strong results.

REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)

REMUNERATION AT DOMINO’S AT A GLANCE (continued)

STRUCTURAL CHANGES MADE IN FY21

During FY21 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.

REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)

REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE (continued)

USE OF INDEPENDENT REMUNERATION CONSULTANTS

During the year an independent remuneration consultant was engaged by the Nomination, Culture and Remuneration Committee to provide 
advice and guidance in relation to market practice and Domino’s remuneration matters. The Company made payments totalling $102,330 
(2020: $154,535) 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 2021, 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, 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.

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

OVERVIEW OF MANAGING DIRECTOR/GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE (GROUP CEO) REMUNERATION 
STRUCTURE FOR FY21

The following remuneration structure applied to the Managing Director/Group CEO for the year ended 27 June 2021. The table also shows 
the changes for the Managing Director/Group CEO’s remuneration structure in FY21:

PERFORMANCE-LINKED REMUNERATION

FIXED REMUNERATION

SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE

$1,259,520 per annum, 
inclusive of base salary 
and superannuation 
contributions.

STI is awarded up to a maximum 
of $1,259,520, subject to the 
achievement of KPIs set annually, and 
approved by the Board.

Options approved by shareholders at the 2020 AGM worth 
$2,623,987 in total were granted during FY21 (the number of 
options granted was determined using a Black Scholes option 
pricing model).

This is an increase of 23% from FY20, 
based on benchmarking data from our 
third party providers and balancing of 
the total remuneration package.

Paid as 67% cash and 33% equity (held 
in escrow for 2 years).

The Options vest from 2023 subject to achievement of 
cumulative annual growth in Earnings Per Share hurdles, 
measured over rolling 3 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.

This represents an 
increase of 2.5% 
from FY20, and was 
applied after the Board 
undertook a review 
in accordance with its 
annual processes.

SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE

The Board set the KPIs for the Managing Director/Group CEO during the financial year ended 27 June 2021 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 80% of the total weighting for the 
short-term incentive bonus, based on year on year EBIT performance in Group and individual markets. The Board listened to feedback from 
shareholders requesting a greater focus on organic new store openings and adjusted the weighting of this KPI from 5% in FY20 to 20% in 
FY21. 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 4 November 2020 resulted in the granting of options over a 3 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 1 year from the first exercise date, after which any options not exercised will lapse.

REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)

OVERVIEW OF EXECUTIVE KMP REMUNERATION FRAMEWORK FOR FY21

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.

SUMMARY OF REMUNERATION ELEMENTS

The framework is illustrated in the following table:

FIXED REMUNERATION

SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE (STI)

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE (LTI)

Strategic 
intent

Domino’s 
approach

Delivery

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

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

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

REMUNERATION REPORT (continued)

OVERVIEW OF EXECUTIVE KMP REMUNERATION FRAMEWORK FOR FY21 (continued)

FIXED REMUNERATION

Remuneration levels are reviewed annually by the Nomination, Culture 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 2.50% on average were applied in FY21 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. Two executives, Michael Gillespie (Group Chief 
Digital and Experience Officer) and Josh Kilimnik (CEO Japan) received increases above 2.50% as a result of changes in the role scope and 
performance.

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”).

SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE

Each year the Nomination, Culture 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, operational and strategic measures. The measures chosen directly align the 
individual’s reward to the KPI’s of the Group and to its strategy and performance.

The Company undertakes a rigorous and detailed annual forecasting and budget process. The Board believes achievement of the annual 
forecast and budget is 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

•  A strong level of performance for exceeding the challenging KPIs.

The financial performance objectives include but are not limited to:

•  Earnings before Interest and Tax (“EBIT”) in local currencies

•  Same Store Sales

•  Franchisee profitability (EBITDA) compared to budget and last year.

The specific targets are not detailed in this report due to their commercial sensitivity but will be discussed retrospectively in future 
remuneration reports.

The table below expresses the annual standard STI opportunity for each Executive KMP during FY21:

OVERVIEW OF EXECUTIVE KMP REMUNERATION FRAMEWORK FOR FY21 (continued)

DELIVERY

In the year ended 27 June 2021, delivery was in the form of cash and equity split 67% and 33% respectively, with the equity deferred for a 
minimum of 2 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 (subject to 
local tax laws). If the Rights are exercised within the period 2 years from the date of grant, they remain under escrow until the 2 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 the Managing Director/Group CEO and Group 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, Culture 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 2020 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 FY21

Options awarded during the year ended 27 June 2021 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.

Please see section OVERVIEW OF MANAGING DIRECTOR/GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE (GROUP CEO) REMUNERATION STRUCTURE FOR 
FY21 for details of the LTI award for the Managing Director/Group CEO.

•  His contract provides that he may terminate the agreement by giving 12 months written notice.

•  He may also resign on 1 month notice if there is a change in control of the Company, and he forms the reasonable opinion that there

50% of the issued shares in the Company acquires a relevant interest in 50% or more of the shares on issue at any time in the capital of 
the Company or the composition of a majority of the Board changes for a reason other than retirement in the normal course of business 
or death.

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 27 
June  2021,  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 ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a 
summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’ declaration. 

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

•  Giving  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  Group’s  financial  position  as  at  27  June  2021  and  of  their 

financial performance for the year then ended; and  

•  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  &  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 for the current period. These matters were addressed in the context 
of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not 
provide a separate opinion on these matters.  

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

Key Audit Matter 

Carrying  Value  of  Goodwill  and 
Indefinite Life Intangible Assets in the 
German  and  France/Belgium  Cash 
Generating Units (CGUs). 

As at 27 June 2021, the carrying 
value of the of the German CGU 
included goodwill of $82.4 million and 
indefinite life intangible assets of 
$184.8 million. The carrying value of 
the France/Belgium CGU included 
goodwill of $47.7 million and 
indefinite life intangible assets of 
$47.9 million, as disclosed in Note 
11.   

Management  is  required  to  exercise 
significant  judgement  in  estimating 
future cash flows, market growth rates 
and discount rates, which are used to 
determine  the  recoverable  amount  of 
the CGUs. 

How  the  scope of  our audit  responded  to  the  Key Audit 
Matter 

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

•  Evaluating the Group’s identification of CGUs 
and the allocation of goodwill to the carrying 
value of CGUs based on our understanding of 
the Group’s business; 

•  Evaluating the appropriateness of the 

methodology applied by management in 
calculating the recoverable amounts of the 
CGUs;  

•  Challenging the assumptions used to calculate 

the discount rates and recalculating these rates; 

•  Agreeing the projected cash flows to Board 

approved budgets and assessing the cash flows, 
expected growth rates and terminal growth 
rates against historical performance and 
published industry economic data;   

• 

• 

Testing the mathematical accuracy of the 
impairment models used to calculate 
recoverable amount.  We also assessed whether 
the impairment models appropriately reflected 
the impact of AASB 16 Leases; and  

Performing sensitivity analysis on the 
recoverable amount of the CGU’s in relation to 
the assumed growth rates during the 3 year 
budget period, terminal growth rates and 
discount rates. Our analysis also included 
consideration of the potential impacts of COVID-
19. 

We also assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures 
included in Note 11 to the financial statements.  

Other Information  

The  directors  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises  the 
information  included  in  the  Group’s  annual  report  for  the  year  ended  27  June  2021  but  does  not 
include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.  

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

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

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The directors of the Entity 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 the directors either intend to liquidate the  Group or to 
cease operations, or has 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 skepticism 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 fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override 
of internal control.  

•  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 directors’ 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.

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 27 June 2021 was authorised for issue in accordance with 
a resolution of the directors on 17 August 2021. 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 complies 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 29 June 2020 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 $84.1 million at 27 June 2021 (28 June 2020: net current liability position $13.3 million).

As at 27 June 2021, the Group had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $174.7 million and generated cash flows, excluding the net 
repayment of borrowings, of $114.9 million, (2020: $76.1 million). The Group’s capital structure is sustainable with sufficient liquidity, including 
undrawn committed facilities of $243.2 million. 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 financials 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 to 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 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 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 1 customer.

continuedNotes to the Financial Statements2  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 1 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 franchisee (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 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 $3.1 million (2020: $3.0 million) related to deferred franchise fees 
during the next financial year.

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.

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.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTISATION

Refer to notes 9, 10 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.

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 3 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:

continuedNotes to the Financial Statements7  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 $99,264 thousand (2020: $98,721 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.

The Group adopted the modified retrospective approach to the implementation of AASB 16. A transition adjustment has been recognised on transition at 
01 July 2019, without adjustment of the comparative. The Group has recognised a deferred tax asset of $2,021 thousand as at 01 July 2019 relating to the 
adoption of AASB 16.

8  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.

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 1 year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

20 21  AN N UAL R E PORT  D OMI NO ’S  PI Z ZA E NTE RPRISES LIMITED. // 1 35 

continuedNotes to the Financial Statements8  ACQUISITION OF BUSINESSES (continued)

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 1 year.

The purchase price of Domino’s Taiwan was for NT$1.7 billion (c. A$79 million) on a cash and debt free basis. The acquisition did not complete 
as at 17 August 2021; therefore no amounts have been recognised in relation to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the 
transactions described.

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.

9  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

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

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTISATION

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

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect 
of any changes recognised on a prospective basis. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the 
same basis as owned assets or, where shorter, the term of the relevant lease.

DERECOGNITION

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

continuedNotes to the Financial Statements9  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued)

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.

10  LEASES

GROUP AS A LESSEE

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.

For these properties, a right of use asset and associated liability is recognised. 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.

The right of use asset has been measured, 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.

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.

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 Group’s accounting policy in regard to 
impairment assessment.

GROUP AS A LESSOR

The Group has a portfolio of long-term (greater than 1 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.

For back-to-back leases, a financial asset and financial liability is recognised, 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.

EXTENSION AND TERMINATION OPTIONS

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 (lessee) discretion. Lease option periods are typically for fixed terms of between 1 to 10 years.

11  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 or not yet available for use are tested for impairment. 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.

142 // 2021 ANNUA L R E PORT D O MIN O’S PIZ ZA  ENTERPRISES LIMITED.

continuedNotes to the Financial Statements11  GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES (continued)

IMPAIRMENT

The Group tests intangibles and goodwill for impairment:

•  at least annually for indefinite life intangibles and not yet ready for use and goodwill; and

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

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

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

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

IMPAIRMENT CALCULATIONS

In assessing VIU, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current 
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. In determining FVLCOD, a discounted cash flow 
model is used based on a methodology consistent with that applied by the Group in determining the value of potential acquisition targets, 
maximising the use of market observed inputs. These calculations, classified as Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy, are compared to valuation 
multiples or other fair value indicators where available to ensure reasonableness.

INPUTS TO IMPAIRMENT CALCULATIONS

For VIU calculations, cash flow projections are based on corporate plans and business forecasts prepared by management and approved 
by the Board. The corporate plans are developed annually with a 3-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 2021 financial year (2020: 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 (2021: $44.4m, 
2020: $31.7m). In addition, the same treatment has been applied to the MFA and associated franchise agreements recognised on the acquisition 
of Domino’s Pizza Japan (2021: $41.3m, 2020: $47.1m). 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.

USEFUL LIVES OF OTHER INTANGIBLES

Management uses their judgement to assess the useful lives of capitalised development intangibles and licenses. This is based on the 
estimated life of the asset and future economic benefits of the asset. The majority of these assets have a life of between 2–10 years.

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

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

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

1  Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the corporate plan period has been calculated based on the compound EBITDA growth, which has been adjusted 

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

In general, COVID-19 has not had a significant adverse impact on the operations of Group. Sales have generally remained strong, 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 the 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 impacts 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 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.

12  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.

FAIR VALUE

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

continuedNotes to the Financial Statements 
 
12  TRADE, OTHER RECEIVABLES AND OTHER ASSETS (continued)

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 receivables.

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.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs, including an appropriate portion of fixed and variable overhead 
expenses, are assigned to inventories by the method most appropriate to each particular class of inventory, with the majority being valued 
on a first in first out basis. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs to sell.

There are no inventories (2020: $nil) expected to be recovered after more than 12 months. Expenses relating to inventories are recorded under 
Food, equipment and packaging expenses. During the year, there has been a write-down of personal protective equipment to net realisable 
value of $3,059 thousand, which has been recognised in Acquisition, integration, conversion, legal settlement and inventory write downs.

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 1 ordinary 
share. Refer to note 20.

20 21  AN N UAL R E PORT  D OMI NO ’S  PI Z ZA E NTE RPRISES L IMITED. // 151 

continuedNotes to the Financial Statements16  EQUITY (continued)

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 285,075 options were exercised (2020: 604,250). A total of $24,080,211 was received as consideration for 285,075 fully paid 
ordinary shares of Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Limited on exercise of the options in the current financial year (2020: $29,201,780).

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

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

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

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

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

On 18 August 2009, the Board resolved to suspend the DRP until further notice. Therefore, the final dividend for the year ended 27 June 
2021 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

Executive Share and Option Plan

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.

Non-controlling Interests 

A component of the put option liability and non-controlling interest is recognised in Other Reserves. This is due to the Group’s adoption of the 
partial recognition of the non-controlling interest method of accounting for the put option liability and non-controlling interest. This accounting

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.

On 17 August 2021, the directors declared a final dividend of 85.1 cents per share to the holders of fully paid ordinary shares in respect of the 
financial year ended 27 June 2021, to be paid to shareholders on 9 September 2021. The dividend will be paid to all shareholders on the 
Register of Members on 25 August 2021. The total estimated dividend to be paid is $73,631 thousand.

FRANKED DIVIDENDS

The franked portions of the final dividends determined after 27 June 2021 will be franked out of existing franking credits or out of franking 
credits arising from the payment of income tax in the financial year ended 27 June 2021.

20  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 1 share plan and 1 share and option plan available for employees, 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 1 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:

21  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.

SUMMARY OF BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS
1 

Relates to loans from Domino’s Pizza Group plc relating to the German joint venture.

2  Loans to meet the cost of DPE’s acquisitions in Germany are secured by way of a mortgage over shares DPE holds in the joint venture entity that owns 

the German territory assets. DPE’s borrowings are otherwise unsecured.

The unused facilities available on the Group’s bank overdraft are $5,795 thousand (2020: $5,807 thousand). For further information in respect 
of the Group’s borrowings, refer to note 24.

22  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.

160  // 2021 ANNUA L  RE PORT D O MIN O’S PIZ ZA  ENTERPRISES LIMITED.

continuedNotes to the Financial Statements22  FINANCIAL ASSETS (continued)

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT (continued)

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

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.

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.

continuedNotes to the Financial Statements22  FINANCIAL ASSETS (continued)

NON-CASH FINANCING AND INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Included in the movement of other financial assets are non-cash transactions of $44.9 million (2020: $35.7 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.

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 is 6.7% (2020: 5.8%) in Australia and New Zealand, the average interest charged in France is 6.0% (2020: 5.91%), 
in the Netherlands is 7.0% (2020: 7.09%), in Germany is 5.0% (2020: 4.96%) and the average interest charged in Japan is 5.0% (2020: 5.0%).

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

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

EQUITY INSTRUMENTS

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

FINANCIAL GUARANTEES AND CONTRACT LIABILITIES

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs 
because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.

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

• 

• 

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

the amount initially recognised less, where appropriate, cumulative amortisation in accordance with the revenue recognition policies set 
out in Note 2.

continuedNotes to the Financial Statements23  FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (continued)

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 1 or more embedded derivatives, and AASB 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ permits the entire combined 
contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVPL.

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

FINANCIAL BORROWINGS

Borrowing and other financial liabilities (including trade payables but excluding derivative liabilities) are recognised initially at fair value, net 
of transaction costs incurred, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

DERECOGNITION OF FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. 
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in 
profit or loss.

ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

GERMANY PUT OPTION LIABILITY

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

FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVES AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As described in note 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.

continuedNotes to the Financial Statements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.

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

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

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK MANAGEMENT

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

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

SENSITIVITY TO FOREIGN EXCHANGE MOVEMENTS

The sensitivity analysis below shows the impact that a reasonable possible change in foreign exchange rates over a financial year would have 
on profit after tax and equity, based solely on the Group’s foreign exchange rate exposure existing at the balance sheet date. The Group has 
used the observed range of actual historical rates for the preceding 5-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.

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 3 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.

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 1 year. Interest on financial instruments, classified as fixed rate, is fixed until maturity 
of the instrument. The classification between fixed and floating interest takes into account applicable hedge instruments. Other financial 
instruments of the Group that are not included in the following table are non-interest bearing and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk.

SENSITIVITY TO INTEREST RATE MOVEMENTS

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

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

Interest rates – increase by 100 basis points

Interest rates – decrease by 100 basis points

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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 1 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 $113.0 million and has a closing balance at year end of $164.4 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.

174 // 2021 ANNUA L REPO RT D OMI N O’S PIZZA  EN TERPRISES LIMIT ED.

continuedNotes to the Financial Statements24  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
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 2023) 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.

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.

continuedNotes to the Financial Statements24  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

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 27 June 2021, 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 27 June 2021 is borrowings of $145,702 thousand, which has been designated as hedge of the net investments in 
the Group’s European subsidiaries. These borrowings are being used to hedge the Group’s exposure to the foreign exchange risk on these 
investments.

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

HEDGING RESERVES

The Group’s hedging reserves are disclosed in note 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 advance. The Group’s exposure to bad debts is not 
significant and default rates have historically been very low on both receivables and loans.

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

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

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CASH DEPOSITS

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

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. There is also exposure to credit risk when the Group 
provides a guarantee to another party. Details of contingent liabilities are disclosed in note 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.

continuedNotes to the Financial Statements27  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 3 corporate stores previously owned by Domino’s and 2 stores owned 
by the franchisee were transferred to the legal entity.

Included above are guarantees provided to third party financial institutions in relation to franchisee loans. This is a contingent liability 
representing the amounts guaranteed in respect of franchisees that would not, without the guarantee, have been granted the loans. The 
directors believe that if the guarantees are ever called on, the Company will be able to recover the amounts paid upon disposal of the stores. 
Included in the above are contingent liabilities of the parent entity of $3,188 thousand.

ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

LEGAL AND REGULATORY MATTERS

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

SPEED RABBIT PIZZA

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

On 7 July 2014, the Court at first instance handed down its decision in the main claim, as well as in 5 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 SRP’s 
appeal in the main claim on 25 October 2017 and the appeal of SRP and/or SRP franchisees in 5 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. France’s highest court.

continuedNotes to the Financial Statements29  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued)

In the main claim, the Cour de Cassation handed down its judgement on 15 January 2020 which found errors of law in the Court of Appeal 
decision and set aside parts of the Court of Appeal’s decision. On 20 December 2020, SRP filed a fresh appeal in the Court of Appeal and 
on 22 January 2021 provided DPF with a brief of evidence including new claims for compensation of €232 million. DPF filed its new appeal 
brief including a new economic report on 19 March 2021.

In the 2 local claims appealed to the Cour de Cassation, judgements were handed down on 7 July 2020 and 30 September 2020 which 
found errors of law and cancelled the Court of Appeal decisions. The current status of these 2 claims ruled on by the Cour de Cassation is 
that the first instance decisions in favour of DPF 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.

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 SRP’s appeal. The 2 SRP franchisees then appealed to the Cour 
de Cassation which dismissed their appeal on 29 January 2020.

The seventh local claim was heard by the Commercial Court of Nanterre at first instance on 15 January 2021. On 12 April 2021, the First 
President of the Court of Appeal of Versailles handed down a decision transferring the case to the Commercial Court of Versailles, on the 
request of the President of the Commercial Court of Nanterre. The case will have to be heard again at first instance before the Commercial 
Court of Versailles.

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 27 June 2021.

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. The appeal will be heard on 
15 September 2021.

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 1 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. Pleadings are scheduled for 19 January 2022.

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 some 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 certain 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.

continuedNotes to the Financial Statements29  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued)

The Company rejects the allegations and has been defending the action vigorously. A defence denying the allegations was filed and an 
application to have the statement of claim (or parts thereof) struck out was heard on 9 June 2020. On 13 April 2021, the Federal Court dismissed 
that application, and at that time the parties were engaged in a referral before a Registrar of the Federal Court regarding discovery. As a result 
of that referral process the parties are amending their pleadings and further interlocutory applications will be listed for hearing after August 
2021. The matter has not been listed for trial.

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, at this stage of the proceeding it is not possible for the Company to 
determine with accuracy or reliability any potential obligation or financial impact arising from the alleged damages claimed in the proceeding.

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 27 June 2021 and unless 
specific provisions have been made are of the opinion that no material contingent liability for such claims of litigation exist.

30  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

REFINANCING OF BORROWINGS 

During the period between year-end and the date of authorisation of the financial statements, the Group has executed several bilateral facility 
agreements with new and existing lenders. The bilateral agreements provide the Group with an increase in its committed debt facilities from 
$751.6 million to circa $900.0 million and a new funding term that is weighted, on average, to 5 years.

OTHER EVENTS 

On 17 August 2021, the directors declared a final dividend for the financial year ended 27 June 2021 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.

31  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 2 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 3 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 was carried out at 27 June 2021 
by Mr. K. Taniguchi, Certified Pension Actuary.

35  OTHER ITEMS

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

In the current year, the Group has applied a number of amendments to Australian accounting standards and new interpretations issued by 
the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are mandatorily effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 29 June 
2020 and therefore relevant for the current year end.

STANDARDS AFFECTING PRESENTATION AND DISCLOSURE

AMENDMENTS TO IFRS 3: DEFINITION OF A BUSINESS

The amendment to IFRS 3 Business Combinations clarifies that to be considered a business, an integrated set of activities and assets must 
include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that, together, significantly contribute to the ability to create output. Furthermore, 
it clarifies that a business can exist without including all of the inputs and processes needed to create outputs. These amendments 
had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group, but may impact future periods should the Group enter into any 
business combinations.

AMENDMENTS TO IAS 1 AND IAS 8 DEFINITION OF MATERIAL

The amendments provide a new definition of material that states, “information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably 
be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial 
statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity.” The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the 
nature or magnitude of information, either individually or in combination with other information, in the context of the financial statements. 
A misstatement of information is material if it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions made by the primary users.

These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of, nor is there expected to be any future impact to the Group.

Amendments to IFRS 16 Covid-19 Related Rent Concessions

On 28 May 2020, the IASB issued Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions – amendment to IFRS 16 Leases. The amendments provide relief 
to lessees from applying IFRS 16 guidance on lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the 
Covid-19 pandemic. As a practical expedient, a lessee may elect not to assess whether a Covid-19 related rent concession from a lessor 
is a lease modification. A lessee that makes this election accounts for any change in lease payments resulting from the Covid-19 related 
rent concession the same way it would account for the change under IFRS 16, if the change were not a lease modification. The amendment 
applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020. Earlier application is permitted.

This amendment had no 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 27 June 2021 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.

Software as a Service

In April 2021 IFRIC published its decision clarifying how an entity should account for configuration and customisation costs incurred in 
implementing a specific part of cloud technology, Software as a Service (SaaS). IFRIC concluded that these costs should be expensed, unless 
the criteria for recognising a separate asset are met. 

In response to the IFRIC’s agenda decision, the Group is in the process of assessing the treatment of configuration and customisation costs 
incurred in implementing SaaS arrangements. This assessment requires an extensive review of the Group’s finite life development costs and 
licence assets included in intangible assets (carrying amount of $108.33 million at 27 June 2021) including reviewing contractual agreements 
relating to development costs and licenses to assess the architecture of the cloud technology. At the date of this report intangible assets with 
a carrying value of $6.62 million require further assessment to ascertain if the assets are attributable to SaaS arrangements.

Intangible assets with a total carrying amount of $3.01 million as at 27 June 2021 have been identified relating to capitalised costs associated 
with SaaS arrangements. However, due to the complexity of these historical SaaS projects, the Group is still in the process of obtaining the 
required information to assess if the capitalised costs relate to customisation and configuration works. Therefore, as at the date of this report 
the amount proposed to be derecognised when the Group adopts its revised accounting policy is yet to be determined. The Group expects 
that the analysis will be completed and the adoption of the revised accounting policy, and the resulting adjustment, will be presented in the 
half-year financial report for the period ending 2 January 2022.

REFERENCE TO THE CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK – AMENDMENTS TO IFRS 3

In May 2020, the IASB issued Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations – Reference to the Conceptual Framework. The amendments 
are intended to replace a reference to the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements, issued in 1989, 
with a reference to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting issued in March 2018 without significantly changing its requirements.

The Board also added an exception to the recognition principle of IFRS 3 to avoid the issue of potential ‘day 2’ gains or losses arising for 
liabilities and contingent liabilities that would be within the scope of IAS 37 or IFRIC 21 Levies, if incurred separately.

At the same time, the Board decided to clarify existing guidance on IFRS 3 for contingent assets that would not be affected by replacing the

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT: PROCEEDS BEFORE INTENDED USE – AMENDMENTS TO IAS 16

In May 2020, the IASB issued Property, Plant and Equipment – Proceeds before Intended Use, which prohibits entities deducting from the 
cost of an item of property, plant and equipment, any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and 
condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognises the proceeds 
from selling such items, and the costs of producing those items, in profit or loss.

The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 and must be applied retrospectively to items 
of property, plant and equipment made available for use on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented when the entity first applies 
the amendment.

The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

ONEROUS CONTRACTS – COSTS OF FULFILLING A CONTRACT – AMENDMENTS TO IAS 37

In May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 37 to specify which costs an entity needs to include when assessing whether a contract 
is onerous or loss-making.

The amendments apply a “directly related cost approach”. The costs that relate directly to a contract to provide goods or services include 
both incremental costs and an allocation of costs directly related to contract activities. General and administrative costs do not relate directly 
to a contract and are excluded unless they are explicitly chargeable to the counterparty under the contract.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. The Group will apply these amendments 
to contracts for which it has not yet fulfilled all its obligations at the beginning of the annual reporting period in which it first applies 
the amendments.

IFRS 9 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – FEES IN THE ’10 PER CENT’ TEST FOR DERECOGNITION OF FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

As part of its 2018-2020 annual improvements to IFRS standards process the IASB issued amendment to IFRS 9. The amendment clarifies 
the fees that an entity includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from the 
terms of the original financial liability. These fees include only those paid or received between the borrower and the lender, including fees paid 
or received by either the borrower or lender on the other’s behalf. An entity applies the amendment to financial liabilities that are modified 
or exchanged on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendment.

The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 with earlier adoption permitted. The Group 
will apply the amendments to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in 
which the entity first applies the amendment.

The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.
