  • Domino's says the quarter's performance was driven by growth in both Pizza and CHICK 'N' DIP, with what it calls continued strong sales from its Italianos pizza range. It says it continued to grow in August and September after benefits from the World Cup at the start of the period.

What’s still pending

  • Meeting full-year earnings expectations is a Board expectation, not a reported result.
  • Earnings growth in the 2027 financial year and beyond is something the company says it is confident of, not a reported result.

Performance was again driven by growth in both Pizza and CHICK ‘N’ DIP, with continued strong sales from our Italianos pizza range. CHICK ’N’ DIP continues to perform in line with management’s expectations, with customer feedback highly positive and advocacy levels strong.

All major cost categories are fixed for FY26 and into FY27, providing good visibility over the cost base. Combined with our strategic growth initiatives, this gives us confidence in delivering earnings growth in FY27 and beyond.

Consequently, the Board remains confident of achieving our earnings expectations for the full year, in line with market expectations.

Commenting on the performance in Q3, Nicola Frampton, CEO, said:

“Our strong performance year-to-date reflects our organic growth strategy and we have been rewarded by our focus on the core Domino’s business model. The proof points of our innovation in Italianos and CHICK ‘N’ DIP, combined with our fantastic brand, quality franchisee partners and leading supply chain have enabled us to attract more customers, more often whilst achieving more for less.

Whilst there is a lot of work still to be done, this gives us confidence in achieving our expectations for the full year, while building the foundations for further growth in 2027 and beyond.”
