Franchise profitability hits four-year high at $105.7k EBITDA per store despite a 4.1% drop in same-store sales.
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises reported underlying EBIT of $200.1 million for the fiscal year, a 1% increase, as franchise partner profitability rose to $105.7k EBITDA per store. Network sales fell 6.8% to $3.87 billion, impacted by store closures and a 4.1% decline in same-store sales.
The EBIT growth contrasts with a 6.8% drop in network sales, reflecting cost efficiencies and improved franchise margins. Same-store sales have declined for the second consecutive year, signaling ongoing challenges in consumer demand.
Franchise profitability reached its highest level in four years, up 11.3%, suggesting operational improvements despite weaker sales performance.
