Item 1A. Risk Factors.
71 rewritten, 9 added, 9 removed, 315 unchanged
For a business as large and globally diverse as [removed: the Company,] [added: Domino’s,] a wide range of factors could materially affect future developments and performance.
We [added: have and] may [added: continue to] experience increased competition from existing or new companies in the delivery and carryout pizza categories, in addition to competition from order and delivery aggregators both in the pizza category and more broadly, that may create [removed: increasing] [added: further] pressures to grow our business in order to maintain our market share.
consumer [removed: tastes;][added: tastes and perceptions;]
marketing, advertising and pricing, including both price increases and [removed: discounting;][added: discounting, and publicity;]
We compete within the food service market and the QSR market not only for customers, but also for management and [removed: hourly] employees, including store team members, drivers and qualified franchisees, as well as suitable real estate sites.
We and our franchisees have faced [removed: an increasingly] [added: at times a] competitive labor market in recent [removed: years due to labor shortages and increased turnover at times resulting in part from the COVID-19 pandemic] [added: years,] which caused us and our [removed: franchisees to] [added: franchisees,] in certain [removed: cases] [added: cases, to] make operational changes and delay store [removed: openings] [added: openings,] which could ultimately impact our growth and competitive position.
While the Company saw an increase in sales in certain markets, including within the U.S., at times [removed: during the COVID-19 pandemic,] [added: in recent years,] including higher sales related to heightened reliance on delivery and carryout businesses, future sales are not possible to estimate, and it is unclear what [added: future] sales will [removed: be as consumer behavior and general economic and business activity move on from the COVID-19 pandemic.][added: be.]
While substantially all U.S. franchisees purchased [removed: food, equipment] [added: food] and [removed: supplies] [added: other products] from us [added: and our suppliers] in [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] U.S. franchisees are not required to purchase [removed: food, equipment or supplies] [added: food and other products] from [removed: us] [added: us,] and they may choose to purchase from outside suppliers.
If we are unable to maintain our competitive position, we could experience downward pressure on prices, lower demand for [removed: our] products, reduced margins, loss of management or [removed: hourly] employees, reduced service levels, disruption in our supply chain, the inability to take advantage of new business [removed: opportunities] [added: opportunities, store closures] and the loss of market share, all of which would have an adverse effect on our operating results and could cause our stock price to decline.
A significant component of our [added: Hungry for MORE] growth strategy includes the opening of new U.S. (both Company-owned as well as franchised stores) and international franchised [removed: stores.][added: stores to generate more global retail sales and ultimately increase operating income.]
Our failure to add new stores [added: or closures of existing stores] would [added: impact global retail sales and] adversely affect our ability to increase revenues and operating income.
Another component of our growth strategy also involves our [removed: recent entry into] [added: participation on] the third-party order aggregator marketplace.
This [removed: new] avenue for sales may prove to be unsuccessful and sales may not meet our expectations.
[removed: Given the present inflationary environment, which we anticipate may continue,] [added: In recent years,] there [removed: has] [added: have] been and may continue to be significant increases in food costs and labor costs, which have impacted and could further impact our profitability and that of our franchisees and which could impact the opening of new U.S. and international franchised [removed: stores] [added: stores, lead to store closures] and adversely affect our operating results.
Health epidemics or pandemics [removed: – such as the global outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020 –] have in the past and may in the future impact macroeconomic conditions, consumer behavior, labor availability and supply chain management, as well as local operations in impacted markets.
Labor shortages and increased turnover rates [removed: within] [added: for] our team members and [removed: the employees] [added: those] of our franchisees [added: in recent years] have led to and could in the future lead to increased costs, such as increased overtime to meet demand and increased wage rates to attract and retain team members and could negatively affect our and our franchisees’ ability to efficiently operate our respective businesses and result in a negative impact on service and customer experience.
Most ingredients used in our pizza, particularly cheese, are subject to significant price fluctuations as a result of seasonality, weather, demand and other [removed: factors.][added: factors and we have experienced increased volatility in prices for some ingredients in recent years.]
[removed: Cheese] [added: Cheese, in particular,] is a significant cost to us, representing approximately 25% of the [removed: market] [added: food] basket purchased by our Company-owned stores.
For example, labor and regulatory compliance costs could be adversely impacted as a result of California Assembly Bill No. 1228 (AB 1228), which [removed: was signed into law in September 2023 and which will raise] [added: raised] the minimum wage for employees of restaurants that are part of a national fast food chain effective April 1, 2024.
The increased labor costs at franchised restaurants in California could impact their profitability and the desire to open new stores or renew the franchise agreements for existing stores and result in [added: additional] price increases, which could impact demand for our products or lead to operational changes.
[added: Additionally, while we only have a small number of unionized employees in our international operations, certain employees of other companies in our industry have recently become unionized in the U.S.] If a significant portion of our or our franchisees’ employees were to become unionized, our and our franchisees’ labor costs could increase and our business could be negatively affected by other union requirements that increase costs, disrupt our business, reduce flexibility and impact employee culture.
We have in the past experienced disruptions within our supply chain resulting from, among other things, capacity, volume, systems, [removed: staffing, operational] [added: staffing] and [removed: COVID-19-related] [added: operational] challenges and may experience such supply chain disruptions again in the future, which could materially and adversely affect our business and operational results.
Moreover, because we are primarily dependent on a single product, if consumer demand for pizza should decrease, our business would suffer more than if we had a more diversified [removed: menu, as many other food service businesses do,] [added: menu] and the QSR pizza category may also not grow as quickly as other categories within the food service industry.
If we are not able to respond to these changes, or our competitors respond to these changes more effectively than us, our [removed: business and] operating results could be adversely affected.
Reports, whether true or not, of product contamination, food-borne illnesses and injuries caused by food tampering have in the past severely injured the reputations [added: and operating results] of participants in the QSR market and could in the future as well.
If such an event [removed: was] [added: were] to occur, we may not be able to respond to it quickly and effectively.
In the U.S., we operate 22 regional dough manufacturing and supply chain centers, two thin crust manufacturing [removed: facilities,] [added: facilities and] one vegetable processing center [removed: and one center providing equipment and supplies] to our U.S. and certain international stores.
[removed: Our inability] [added: If we were to be unable] or [removed: failure] [added: fail] to recognize, respond to and effectively manage the accelerated impact of social media [added: or become the subject of a boycott, our business] could [added: be] adversely [removed: impact our business.][added: impacted.]
[removed: Beginning on] [added: From] March 27, [removed: 2023,] [added: 2023 through March 24, 2024,] the Company effectuated a temporary reduction of 0.25% to its standard 6.0% advertising [removed: contribution, which will expire on March 24, 2024.][added: contribution.]
The lack of continued financial support for advertising activities [added: or a limitation on our ability to advertise certain offers] could significantly curtail our marketing efforts, which may in turn affect our business and our operating results.
While we do not have long-term employment agreements with our executive officers, for all of our executive officers we have non-compete and non-solicitation agreements that extend for 24 months following the termination of such executive officer’s [removed: employment, although the FTC has proposed a new rule that would ban the use of non-compete agreements.][added: employment.]
Our success will also continue to depend on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel to operate our stores, dough manufacturing and supply chain [removed: centers] [added: centers, corporate offices] and international operations.
Our earnings and business growth strategy depend on the success of our franchisees, and we may be harmed by actions taken by our franchisees, or employees of our franchisees, [removed: that] [added: which] are outside of our control.
As of December [removed: 31, 2023,] [added: 29, 2024,] we had [removed: 735] [added: 751] independent U.S. franchisees operating [removed: 6,566] [added: 6,722] U.S. stores.
As of that same date, 22 of these franchisees each owned and operated more than 50 U.S. stores, including our largest U.S. franchisee who owned and operated [removed: 143 stores] [added: 158 stores,] and the average U.S. franchisee owned and operated approximately nine stores.
As of December [removed: 31, 2023,] [added: 29, 2024,] our largest international master franchisee operated [removed: 3,840] [added: 3,741] stores in 12 markets, which accounted for approximately [removed: 28%] [added: 26%] of our total international store count.
Third-party business processes we utilize include information technology, gift card authorization and processing, [removed: other] payment processing, benefits, and other accounting and business services.
The rapid evolution and increased adoption of [removed: artificial intelligence] [added: AI] technologies amplifies these concerns.
[removed: The recent increase] [added: Increases] in remote working could also exacerbate certain risks to our business, including an increased risk of cyber incidents and improper dissemination of personal or confidential information.
There is also a potential heightened risk of cyber security incidents as a result of geopolitical events outside of our [removed: control, such as the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.][added: control.]
We may not be able to execute our strategy to achieve our planned growth targets.
This strategy could also result in store closures if executed too rapidly, as seen in certain international markets in recent years.
Our net store growth figures could also be impacted by higher closure rates.
Additionally, an increase in tariffs, such as the tariffs announced on February 1, 2025 on imports to the United States from Canada and Mexico, and any similar or retaliatory tariffs or trade policies, could disrupt and increase the costs of our supply chains and those of our master franchisees in relation to certain products that we and they source internationally.
The use of these AI solutions may expose us to additional risks and expenses, including, for example, if we were to incorporate AI technologies which we become dependent on or fail to adopt AI in a timely or effective manner.
We have established significant commitments on greenhouse gas emissions and in October 2024 our near-term and net zero targets were approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
It is uncertain how the policy priorities and initiatives of the new administration may impact the federal laws and regulations to which we are subject, and we are not able to predict the impact such changes may have on our business.
Laws targeting hidden fees and how businesses may advertise and/or market prices to consumers have been enacted in jurisdictions that include California and Minnesota, and these laws could impact our advertising, including advertising for our national offers.
our performance versus expectations of securities analysts or investors or against our guidance metrics;
While there historically has been some level of ordinary course turnover of employees, the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects exacerbated labor shortages and increased turnover in recent years.
For example, we have experienced increased volatility in prices for some ingredients in recent years.
Additionally, while we do not currently have any unionized employees, certain employees of other companies in our industry have recently become unionized.
The use of these AI solutions may expose us to additional risks and expenses.
The SEC has included in its regulatory agenda proposed rulemaking on climate change disclosures that, if adopted, could significantly increase compliance burdens and associated regulatory costs and the complexity of the regulatory framework.

incur liens; and
In October 2023, the FTC proposed a rule targeting misleading and hidden fees and how businesses may advertise and market prices to consumers; a law addressing hidden fees will take effect in California starting July 1, 2024 after Senate Bill No. 478 was signed into law.
The ultimate scope of these rules and laws is currently unknown, but could be determined to apply to restaurants and fees such as delivery fees, service charges or surcharges that could impact the way we advertise to consumers.

We are primarily a franchisor, with approximately 99% of Domino’s global stores owned and operated by our independent franchisees as of December [removed: 31, 2023.][added: 29, 2024.]
We also generate revenues and earnings by selling [removed: food, equipment] [added: food] and [removed: supplies] [added: other products] to franchisees through our supply chain operations primarily in the U.S. and Canada and by operating a number of Company-owned stores in the [removed: United States.][added: U.S. Franchisees profit by selling pizza and other complementary items to their local customers.]
It can also yield significant cash flows to us, through a consistent franchise royalty payment and supply chain revenue stream, [removed: with moderate capital expenditures.][added: through an asset-light model.]

A 10% change in our casualty insurance liability at December [removed: 31, 2023] [added: 29, 2024] would have affected our income before provision for income taxes by approximately [removed: $5.6] [added: $5.1] million in [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
We had accruals for casualty insurance reserves of [removed: $56.3] [added: $50.7] million and [removed: $57.6] [added: $56.3] million at December [removed: 31, 2023] [added: 29, 2024] and [removed: January 1,] [added: December 31,] 2023, respectively.
The U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate was 21% in each of [removed: 2023, 2022] [added: 2024, 2023] and [removed: 2021.][added: 2022.]
Our Federal income tax provision calculated based on the Federal statutory rate was [removed: $137.0] [added: $151.7] million, [removed: $120.3] [added: $137.0] million and [removed: $131.4] [added: $120.3] million in [removed: 2023, 2022] [added: 2024, 2023] and [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] respectively.

We also had valuation allowances related to interest deductibility in separately filed states of $1.4 million and [removed: $1.5] [added: $1.4] million as of December [removed: 31, 2023] [added: 29, 2024] and [removed: January 1,] [added: December 31,] 2023, respectively.
Fiscal [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] Highlights
[added: MORE Sales:] Global retail sales, excluding foreign currency impact (which includes total retail sales at Company-owned and franchised stores [removed: worldwide)] [added: worldwide),] increased [removed: 5.4%] [added: 5.9%] as compared to [removed: 2022.][added: 2023.]
U.S. retail sales increased [removed: 3.1%] [added: 5.3%] and international retail sales, excluding foreign currency impact, increased [removed: 7.7%, each] [added: 6.5%,] as compared to [removed: 2022.][added: 2023.]
Same store sales increased [removed: 1.6%] [added: 3.2%] in our U.S. stores and increased [removed: 1.7%] [added: 1.6%] in our international [removed: stores, excluding] [added: stores (excluding] foreign currency [removed: impact.][added: impact).]
[added: MORE Stores:] Global net [removed: stores grew by 711 net] [added: store growth of 775] stores, including [removed: 168] [added: 160] net store openings in the U.S. and [removed: 543] [added: 615] net store openings internationally.
[added: MORE Profits:] Income from operations increased [removed: 6.7%.][added: 7.3%.]
Excluding the negative impact of foreign currency, Domino’s experienced global retail sales growth during [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] driven by [removed: global net] [added: same] store [added: sales] growth and [removed: same] [added: net] store [removed: sales] growth in both our U.S. and international businesses.
These [removed: factors] [added: factors, as well as gross margin dollar improvement within supply chain driven primarily by procurement productivity,] also contributed to an increase in income from operations.
Overall, we believe our global retail sales [removed: growth (excluding] [added: growth, excluding] foreign currency [removed: impact), emphasis on technology, operations and] [added: impact,] marketing initiatives, [added: operations and emphasis on technology] have combined to strengthen our brand.
We review comparable industry global retail sales information to assess business trends and to track the growth of the Domino’s Pizza [removed: brand] [added: brand,] and [added: we believe they] are indicative of the financial health of [removed: the] [added: our] franchisee base.
As a result, sales by Domino’s franchisees have a direct effect on [removed: the Company’s] [added: our] profitability.

2024 compared to 2023
| | | 2024 | | | | | | | | 2023 | | | | | | |
Consolidated revenues increased $227.1 million, or 5.1%, in 2024 due primarily to higher supply chain revenues, higher global franchise royalties and fees and higher advertising revenues.
The increase in supply chain revenues was primarily attributable to higher order volumes, as well as an increase in the Company’s food basket pricing to stores.
| | | 2024 | | | | | | | | 2023 | | | | | | |
Revenues from U.S. Company-owned store operations increased $17.7 million, or 4.7%, in 2024 primarily due to higher same store sales and net store growth.
Revenues from U.S. franchise royalties and fees increased $33.3 million, or 5.5%, in 2024 primarily due to higher same store sales and net store growth.
Additionally, U.S. franchise royalties and fees benefited from an increase in digital transactions which resulted in an increase in fees paid by our franchisees for the use of our technology platforms, but this increase was partially offset by a net $0.04 decrease in the digital per transaction technology fee to $0.355 effectuated as of March 25, 2024.
Revenues from U.S. franchise advertising increased $36.7 million, or 7.7%, in 2024 primarily due to higher same store sales and net store growth, as well as the return to the standard 6.0% advertising contribution rate at the beginning of the second quarter of 2024 following the end of the temporary reduction to 5.75% which began in the second quarter of 2023.
Supply chain revenues increased $130.8 million, or 4.8%, in 2024 due primarily to higher order volumes, as well as an increase in our food basket pricing to stores.
These increases were partially offset by a shift in the relative mix of products we sell, as well as the transition of our equipment and supplies business to a third-party supplier.
Our food basket pricing to stores increased 1.4% during 2024, which resulted in an estimated $34 million increase in supply chain revenues.

| Total revenues | | $ | 4,706.4 | | | | 100.0 | % | | $ | 4,479.4 | | | | 100.0 | % |
We generally update our supply chain gross margin structure on an annual basis.
| | | 2024 | | | | | | | | 2023 | | | | | | |
Food costs decreased 0.1 percentage points to 29.0% in 2024.
Labor costs decreased 0.3 percentage points to 31.3% in 2024 due to labor cost improvements as a result of store level productivity and sales leverage driven by higher order counts.
These improvements in labor cost were partially offset by higher wage rates in our U.S. Company-owned stores.
| | | 2024 | | | | | | | | 2023 | | | | | | |
As a percentage of supply chain revenues, supply chain gross margin increased 0.9 percentage points in 2024.
These changes in gross margin as a percentage of revenues are discussed in additional detail below.
Food costs decreased 1.1 percentage points to 71.3% in 2024 driven primarily by procurement productivity.
The increase in the commodity costs within our food basket sold to stores partially offset this improvement.
Other income was $22.1 million and $17.7 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively, representing the net realized and unrealized gains on our investment in DPC Dash.
The lower effective tax rate in 2024 was driven by a 2.6 percentage point favorable change in the impact of excess tax benefits from equity-based compensation, which is recorded as a reduction to the provision for income taxes.
Lower foreign derived intangible income deductions partially offset the decrease in the effective tax rate.

The increase in international franchise Segment Income was partially offset by travel expenses for our Worldwide Rally that takes place every two years.
As of December 29, 2024, we had negative working capital totaling $904.4 million, which primarily included $1.14 billion of current portion of long-term debt associated with our 2018 7.5-Year Notes and 2015 Ten-Year Notes (each as defined below) for each of which the anticipated repayment date is October 2025.

Global retail sales growth, excluding foreign currency impact, in 2021 reflects the impact of the 53rd week in 2020.
The increase in international same store sales in 2023 was attributable to a higher average ticket per transaction across our international markets.
Net store growth during fiscal 2023 reflects the closure of the remaining 159 net stores in the Russia market.

Consolidated revenues decreased $57.8 million, or 1.3%, in 2023 due primarily to lower U.S. Company-owned store revenues as a result of the refranchising of 114 U.S. Company-owned stores in the fourth quarter of 2022 (“the 2022 Store Sale”) as well as lower supply chain revenues primarily due to a shift in the relative mix of the products we sell.
Additionally, U.S. franchise advertising revenues decreased as a result of a temporary reduction of 0.25% to the standard 6.0% advertising contribution which was effectuated on March 27, 2023, as well as an increase in advertising incentives related to certain brand promotions.
These decreases were partially offset by higher U.S. franchise royalties and fees revenues primarily due to an increase in fees paid by our franchisees for the use of our technology platforms, an increase in the average number of U.S. franchised stores open during the period resulting from net store growth and the 2022 Store Sale as well as higher same store sales.
Revenues from U.S. Company-owned store operations decreased $69.6 million, or 15.6%, in 2023 primarily due to a decrease in the average number of U.S. Company-owned stores open during the period resulting from the 2022 Store Sale, but this decrease was partially offset by higher same store sales.
Revenues from U.S. franchise royalties and fees increased $48.6 million, or 8.7%, in 2023 primarily due to an increase in fees paid by our franchisees for the use of our technology platforms, an increase in the average number of U.S. franchised stores open during the period resulting from net store growth and the 2022 Store Sale as well as higher same store sales.
Revenues from U.S. franchise advertising decreased $12.1 million, or 2.5%, in 2023 primarily due to a temporary reduction of 0.25% to the standard 6.0% advertising contribution effectuated on March 27, 2023 as well as an increase in advertising incentives related to certain brand promotions.
The Company recorded approximately $14.5 million more in advertising incentives related to certain brand promotions in 2023 as compared to 2022.
These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the average number of U.S. franchised stores open during the period as a result of net store growth and the 2022 Store Sale as well as higher same store sales.
Supply chain revenues decreased $39.7 million, or 1.4%, in 2023 due primarily to a shift in the relative mix of the products we sell.
Our market basket pricing to stores decreased 0.5% during 2023 which did not have a significant impact on supply chain revenues.
The negative impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates of approximately $5.8 million in 2023 partially offset the increases in international franchise royalties and fees.
Food costs decreased 2.3 percentage points to 29.1% in 2023 driven primarily by the decrease in the market basket pricing to stores as well as improved sales leverage resulting from increases in menu and national offer pricing.
As a percentage of supply chain revenues, the supply chain gross margin increased 1.3 percentage points in 2023, primarily due to lower food cost as a result of procurement productivity.
This improvement in supply chain gross margin as a percentage of supply chain revenues was partially offset by higher labor costs as a percentage of supply chain revenues.
Refranchising Loss/Gain
During 2023, we refranchised one U.S. Company-owned store for proceeds of less than $0.1 million.
The pre-tax refranchising loss associated with the sale of the related assets and liabilities, including goodwill, was approximately $0.1 million and was recorded in refranchising loss in our consolidated statements of income.
During 2022, we completed the 2022 Store Sale in which we refranchised 114 U.S. Company-owned stores in Arizona and Utah for proceeds of $41.1 million.
In connection with the 2022 Store Sale, we recorded a $21.2 million pre-tax refranchising gain on the sale of the related assets and liabilities, including a $4.3 million reduction in goodwill.
We did not record any adjustments to the carrying amount in fiscal 2022.
The lower effective tax rate in 2023 was driven primarily by higher foreign tax credits.
This decrease in the effective tax rate was partially offset by the release of certain unrecognized tax benefits related to one of our foreign subsidiaries during 2022 that did not recur in 2023 and a higher proportion of non-deductible expenses associated with covered officer compensation in 2023 as compared to 2022.
Other Segment Income primarily includes corporate administrative costs that are not allocable to a reportable segment, including labor, computer expenses, professional fees, travel and entertainment, rent, insurance and other corporate administrative costs.
In the first quarter of 2023, we changed our allocation methodology for certain costs which support certain internally developed software used across our franchise system.
The change in allocation methodology of certain software development costs resulted in an estimated increase in U.S. stores Segment Income of $65.7 million, an estimated increase in international franchise Segment Income of $8.9 million and an estimated decrease in other Segment Income of $74.6 million in 2023.
The change in allocation methodology of certain software development costs had no impact on revenues, supply chain Segment Income or total Segment Income.
| | | 2023 | | | | 2022 | | |

These increases were partially offset by the $6.3 million decrease in U.S. Company-owned store gross margin, as discussed above.

Domino’s financial results are driven largely by retail sales at our franchised and Company-owned stores.
Changes in retail sales are primarily driven by same store sales growth and net store growth.
We actively monitor both of these metrics, as they directly impact our revenues and profits, and we strive to consistently increase both metrics.
Retail sales drive royalty payments from franchisees, as well as Company-owned store and supply chain revenues.
During 2024, we launched our newest menu items in the U.S., 5-Cheese Mac & Cheese and New York Style Pizza.
International market offerings vary by country and culture, such as the French Burgundy-flavored Beef Pizza commemorating the Paris 2024 Olympics or Paratha Pizza offerings in India including three unique flavors of Corn & Cheese, Paneer or Chicken Keema.
| Turkey (JUBLFOOD: NS) | | | 728 | |
| Canada | | | 620 | |
Additionally, in 2024, we transitioned the operations of our equipment and supplies distribution center and entered into a new agreement to allow substantially all our U.S. stores and certain international stores to procure equipment and supplies directly from a third-party supplier.
We do not believe this transition will have a material impact on our gross margins or income from operations.
In 2024, the Company completed the redesign of its e-commerce platforms and intends to roll them out across the U.S. system in 2025.
Our simple to understand and easy to use Domino’s Rewards® loyalty program provides members reward points for qualifying orders.
*Empowering People Efforts*
Our mission, rooted in our values, to ‘*feed the power of possible, one pizza at a time,*’ starts with our people.
Domino’s team members have a passion for innovation and learning, a commitment to our core values and to delivering the joy of pizza worldwide.
We believe that fostering a sense of belonging for everyone promotes a culture where anything is possible.
We are made better together.
*Team Member Engagement*
Domino’s is committed to fostering an engaged culture in the workplace where people are respected and appreciated, and where team members listen, learn, and support each other.
We define team member engagement as the strength of the connection team members feel toward the work they do, their teams and the overall organization.
Every year our aim is to proactively and continuously listen to our team members’ sentiment around their work, direct manager, teams, culture, and overall commitment to the brand.
Through deep analyses and leader-led listening sessions, we strive to validate our efforts and commit ourselves to making year-over-year improvement as we propel Domino’s to be a workplace of choice.
*Business Resource Groups*
One of the ways we engage our team members is through our business resource groups (“BRGs”), which are open to all team members regardless of demographics.
Our BRGs hold company-wide fireside chats featuring inclusive topics and speakers, provide best practice sharing, and help team members enhance professional skills and nurture meaningful work connections.
Our five BRGs serve as trusted advisors to functional business groups while continuing to foster a culture of belonging, inclusion and allyship.
We have established a commitment to achieve our near-term targets by 2032 and achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
During 2024, we announced a campaign to raise a cumulative $300 million for St. Jude by 2034, the 30th anniversary of our partnership.
Franchisees profit by selling pizza and other complementary items to their local customers.
During 2023, we launched our newest menu items in the U.S., Domino’s Loaded Tots and Pepperoni Stuffed Cheesy Bread.
International market offerings vary by country and culture, such as the Lipu Taro Paste and Oats Double Decker Crust in China as well as offerings that tap into the spicy taste preferences of Domino’s customers in India such as their Blazing Chicken and Paprika Pizza and Blazing Onion and Paprika Pizza.
Beginning on March 27, 2023, Domino's National Advertising Fund Inc. (“DNAF”), the Company’s consolidated not-for-profit advertising subsidiary, effectuated a temporary reduction of 0.25% to its standard 6.0% advertising contribution, which will expire on March 24, 2024.
| Turkey (DPEU: L) | | | 689 | |
| Canada | | | 605 | |
While we expect to meet the terms of this agreement, if we do not, we will be required to repay certain negotiated cost savings as provided in the agreement.
Over the past five years, our U.S. franchise and Company-owned stores have invested an estimated $2.7 billion in national, co-operative and local advertising.
Our international franchisees also invest significant amounts in advertising efforts in their markets.
We continue to reinforce our brand with extensive advertising through various media channels.
Market share information for the year ended December 2022 has been updated to reflect restated figures from Circana, which did not materially impact our market share positioning.

In 2023, Domino’s also launched Pinpoint Delivery, a new technology that allows customers to receive a delivery nearly anywhere, including places like parks, baseball fields and beaches.
In addition, during 2023, we relaunched our Domino’s Rewards® loyalty program, which builds upon our previous loyalty program and is simple to understand and easy to use.
Upon signing up for the program, customers become rewards members and can earn points for their orders.
This recipe is now in use in other markets around the world.
Products can range from simple to indulgent, including the Pizza Rice Bowl in Japan (an original take on the Japanese rice bowl which offers rice covered with traditional pizza toppings) and the Churrosbread and Canela Bites in Brazil.
In recent years, we have made investments in frontline team member wage rates in our U.S. Company-owned stores and supply chain centers.
We are committed to providing pay equity for all employees.
*Inclusion and Diversity Efforts*
“Do the Right Thing” and “Put People First” are two of our core values at Domino’s.
From those two values our Inclusion and Diversity mission was launched, and we have been relentless in our commitment to building and strengthening our culture every day.
Our mission is to foster a more diverse, highly engaged workforce that sees our Company as the employer of choice and is representative of the communities we serve.
We want our team members to feel comfortable bringing their unique experiences and diverse backgrounds to discussions where they can share, learn and listen together enabled by conscious inclusion practices and our leadership competencies.
Our Inclusion and Diversity efforts have been crafted with a strategic framework that encompasses three pillars:
*Workforce* – focused on the diversity of our workforce at all levels of the organization.
*Workplace* – focused on ensuring that our Company-owned stores, offices and supply chains are inclusive.
*Marketplace* – focused on ensuring our brand reaches and is relevant to all consumers.
As part of our workplace initiatives, we provide leadership and funding to support team members participating in Employee Resource Groups (“ERGs”).
We currently have ERGs representing the Black, Hispanic and LGBTQ+ communities, as well as women in the workforce and individuals with disabilities, with potentially more to come based on team member interest.
We also make available to our eligible team members several benefits designed to promote an inclusive workplace like paid parental leaves, adoption support, discounted childcare tuition and health plans that are available to dependents, spouses and domestic partners and include fertility and gender transition support.
