Domino’s system sales up 14%
The pizza chain announced that it made £426.7 million from system sales as part of the results for the 26 weeks ended 28 June 2015.
Chief Executive Officer David Wild, said, “We’ve had a strong first half, driven by an excellent performance in our core UK business, which has again recorded double digit like-for-like sales growth. Our international operations have also shown improvements compared to last year.
“Our success in the UK is a result of the investment we have made in market-leading e-commerce initiatives. Our App has now been downloaded over 10 million times and our App sales have overtaken desktop sales for the first time.”
“The 21 new stores opened in the period are performing better than ever. Our roll out is well supported by our franchisees, who are benefiting from increased profitability and are seeing a good reaction from the UK consumer to our bundle deals and other initiatives,” he said.
“Whilst we are pleased with our performance in the first half, we face tougher comparators in the rest of the year. We have a continued programme of e-commerce initiatives and other marketing campaigns. The UK new store pipeline is solid and we are well-positioned for the future.”
The brand reported that EBITDA performance has gone up from 12.9% to 15.1% and system sales per store rose almost 12%. E-commerce system sales also increased by 24.4%.
UK like-for-like sales reached £378.8 million, up 10%.
