Peter Shaw, Chief Executive of DP Poland said:

"Out of our 6 store openings so far this year I am delighted that 3 stores have been opened by 2 new sub-franchisees, in 2 new cities, taking the number of our sub-franchise partners to 4. Domino's Pizza is now available in 7 Polish cities, with 29 stores to date, 16 corporately managed and 13 sub-franchised.

We saw more than a doubling of both corporate store EBITDA and commissary gross profit in the first half of the year driven by rapid sales growth and improvements in food costs. The continuing improvement in Group EBITDA losses will accelerate as the growth in overheads necessary for rapid expansion become proportionately less significant to accelerating sales."

Chief Executive's Review

Store performance

Strong like-for-like(2) performance of existing stores at +28%, plus the contribution of new stores saw total System Sales(1) grow by +57% H1 2016 on H1 2015. This strong sales performance, supported by healthy gross margin(5) and controlled store operating costs, translated to a marked improvement in Corporate Store EBITDA at +104% H1 2016 on H1 2015.

Like-for-like performance July-August continued at 24%.

Store roll-out

6 stores have been opened in 2016 to date, taking the total to 29 stores.

We have a pipeline of store openings for the rest of the year and into 2017, and we currently have 1 store ready to open and 3 stores under construction.

The table below sets out our current store estate.

Presence in 7 cities: Warsaw, Krakow, Wroc aw, Gdansk, Szczecin, Zielona Gora and Lublin.

In July and August we sold 2 corporate stores to sub-franchisees, 1 to HLM and 1 to RHPP. In August 1 sub-franchised store was opened by our fourth franchisee Active.

We have expanded our real estate team to deliver our accelerated store opening programme. This team, including third party specialists, is responsible for finding and negotiating sites, project managing store fit-outs and commissioning store openings, for both corporately managed and sub-franchised stores.

Sub-franchised stores

We have 4 sub-franchise partners operating 13 stores between them.

Our third sub-franchise partner acquired their first store in April and opened a second in the same city in June. Our fourth sub-franchisee opened his first store in August in his home city, having first trained in one of our stores in Warsaw.

We anticipate seeing further sub-franchising in the near future as more candidates come forward to create their own successful Domino's Pizza businesses.

Commissary and procurement

With 57% growth in System Sales compared to H1 2015 we saw commissary gross profit(3) grow +143% H1 2016 on H1 2015. The establishment of our own commissary in September 2015 has delivered marked improvements in dough production costs and warehouse product handling costs, supporting this improved gross profit.

Our procurement team continues to deliver improved food costs, supporting improved corporate store EBITDA and improved commissary gross profit. We are focused on supplying our sub-franchisees with high quality ingredients at highly competitive prices, aiding their sub-franchised store profitability.

We will be extending our commissary capacity in 2017 to support our growing System Sales from existing and new stores, deploying a capital light model.

Group performance

Group EBITDA(4) losses, at actual exchange rates(6, 7) , improved 6% H1 2016 (GBP728,397) on H1 2015 (GBP773,591).

As described in the Finance Director's report below the Group loss for the period, at actual exchange rates, was reduced by 12% H1 2016 (GBP944,378) on H1 2015 (GBP1,074,059)

A rapidly growing store estate and projected growth in System Sales this year and next, requires investment in commissary capacity and the teams that support store expansion, including real estate, distribution and area management. Step changes in these direct and indirect costs are anticipated to have a short term impact on Group EBITDA, before the growth in sales absorbs that impact and proportionately reduces those costs as a percentage of sales.

Online sales

Online sales grew to 69% of delivery sales for H1 2016 compared with 66% in H1 2015, benefiting the customer by providing an easy means of ordering and improving store economics by reducing the need to take orders by telephone.

We continue to invest in improving the online experience for our customers, whether they purchase via smart phone, tablet or PC.

Marketing and innovation

Online is an important element of our marketing activity, supported by out-of-door advertising, radio advertising and local sponsorship. The combination of new product introductions, the promotion of tried and tested favourites and offering great value for money are the cornerstones of our marketing approach.

In March 2016 we introduced Hot Dog Crust and in September 2016 we introduced Cheesy Crust, both product innovations that are popular in other Domino's markets.

Outlook and current trading

Growth over the last two months has continued in the same vein as the first half, with strong like-for-likes July to August. We anticipate 2016 finishing strongly both in terms of like-for-like sales growth and absolute growth in System Sales. As the business grows, the necessary investments for growth in the Polish team (commissary, real estate, area management and sub-franchisee support) will become proportionately less significant and will be reflected in further improvement in Group EBITDA.

The impact of Brexit on our business is a question that has been raised a number of times. At this stage it is difficult to predict on a macro-economic basis, however it is clear that Poland is firmly set as a key member of the European Community, benefiting from very significant investment in infrastructure and innovation projects. In turn Poland contributes a robust growth economy with a highly qualified and motivated workforce and growing consumer demand for great value products. As distribution improves with more store openings and as our customer loyalty grows we believe that the growth of Domino's Pizza in Poland over the coming years will remain robust and uninterrupted.

Finance Director's review

Overview

In H1 2016 we reached our 15th consecutive quarter of double digit like-for-like(2) System Sales(1) growth. We achieved this consistent growth while improving both corporate store EBITDA and commissary gross profit(3) . Our retail pricing strategy is driven by a profit motive rather than a pure volume growth motive and our System Sales and central marketing activities are judged within specific Return on Marketing Investment parameters. Our new commissary has delivered greater cost efficiencies than budgeted, due to higher than budgeted sales volumes. Corporate store EBITDA has grown by +104% (H1 2016 on H1 2015) and commissary gross profit has grown by +143% (H1 2016 on H1 2015).

The continued drop in unemployment in Poland has resulted in a general upward pressure on wages which has impacted store labour costs. This inflation in store labour costs has been ameliorated by both improvements in food costs and carefully managed pricing. While we expect to see continuing improvement in economies of scale in our procurement of food we also expect food commodity prices to increase next year in response to expected growth in world demand, particularly if Russia ends its sanctions on food imports.

Direct and Indirect Costs

As our revenue grows the impact of Direct and Indirect Costs on Group EBITDA(4) becomes less marked, however there is a stepped element to this progression as capacity is added in response to a significant uplift in sales and store numbers, including commissary production capacity, distribution costs, the store expansion team and the area management team. I have set out below some more detail on the factors impacting Direct and Indirect Costs.

Direct costs

In preparation for further store openings and continuing growth in System Sales we will be extending our commissary capacity in 2017 deploying a capital light model. This additional commissary capacity will impact Direct Costs through additional rent, operating costs, production labour and warehousing labour. As System Sales grow the impact of this additional commissary capacity on Direct Costs will become proportionately smaller and the benefits of lower production costs and lower warehouse product handling costs will be seen in further improvements in corporate store EBITDA, because of lower food costs, and in improved commissary gross profit. The opening of new stores in new cities also results in higher distribution costs which in turn will become proportionately less significant as more stores are opened in those new cities, spreading those costs across more stores.

Indirect costs: Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (S,G&A)

In H1 2016 Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (S,G&A) were 29% of System Sales a 13 percentage point improvement against H1 2015 (H1 2015 42%). The opening of new stores in new cities requires a larger store expansion team and additional area managers to oversee both corporate and sub-franchised store performance. As we open more stores these additional costs will become proportionately less significant and the overall impact of S,G&A on Group EBITDA will continue to reduce.

Store count

6 stores have been opened to date, taking the total to 29 stores. We have a pipeline of store openings for the rest of the year, into 2017, and we currently have 1 store about to open and 3 stores under construction.

Group performance

Revenue increased +70% as the result of 28% growth of LFL system sales and the opening of new stores. The improvement in Group EBITDA(4) is driven by the continuing improvement in Corporate Store EBITDA, the growing contribution from commissary and careful management of S,G&A.

  Notes to the Interim 
   Financial Statements 
  for the six months 
   ended 30 June 2016 
 
  1 Basis of 
   preparation 
 
  These condensed interim financial statements are 
   unaudited and do not constitute statutory accounts 
   within the meaning of the Companies Act 2006. These 
   condensed interim financial statements have been 
   prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial 
   Reporting' and were approved on behalf of the Board 
   by the Chief Executive Officer Peter Shaw on 16 September 
   2016. 
 
  The accounting policies and methods of computation 
   applied in these condensed interim financial statements 
   are consistent with those applied in the Group's 
   most recent annual financial statements for the year 
   ended 31 December 2015. 
 
  The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 
   2015, which were prepared in accordance with International 
   Financial Reporting Standards, as endorsed by the 
   European Union ('IFRS'), and with those parts of 
   the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting 
   under IFRS, have been delivered to the Registrar 
   of Companies. The auditors' opinion on those financial 
   statements was unqualified and did not contain a 
   statement made under s498(2) or (3) of the Companies 
   Act 2006. 
 
  Copies of these condensed interim financial statements 
   and the Group's most recent annual financial statements 
   are available on request by writing to the Company 
   Secretary at our registered office DP Poland plc, 
   42-50 Hersham Road, Walton-on-Thames, Surrey KT12

 ----------------------------------------  ------------  ------------  ------------ 
 
  The weighted average number of shares for the period 
   excludes those shares in the Company held by the 
   employee benefit trust. At 30 June 2016 the basic 
   and diluted loss per share is the same, because the 
   vesting of share awards would reduce the loss per 
   share and is, therefore, anti-dilutive. 
 
  4 Principal risks 
   and uncertainties 
  The principal risks and uncertainties facing the 
   Group are disclosed in the Group's financial statements 
   for the year ended 31 December 2015, available from 
   www.dppoland.com and remain unchanged.
