ANN ARBOR, Mich., Feb. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Domino's Pizza, Inc. (Nasdaq: DPZ), the largest pizza company in the world, announced results for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2025.

"In 2025 we demonstrated that when we execute our Hungry for MORE strategy it delivers MORE sales, MORE stores, and MORE profits," said Russell Weiner, Domino's Chief Executive Officer. "In our international business, we delivered a remarkable 32^nd consecutive year of same store sales growth. In our U.S. business, we gained another point of market share, pacing well ahead of the QSR Pizza category, which grew again in 2025. These strong results flowed through to increased franchisee profits, showcasing our ability to drive store level profitability while providing incredible value for our customers. As we look ahead to 2026, it is our expectation that we will meaningfully increase our market share within a U.S. QSR pizza category that continues to grow. Our value and scale advantages will remain a differentiator, while our new brand campaign and e-commerce site will drive deliciousness and improved experiences. Domino's has always been in the business of creating its own tailwinds and driving growth. That has been and will continue to be how we drive best in class results and long-term value creation for our franchisees and shareholders."

Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2025 Operational and Financial Highlights (Unaudited):

The tables below outline certain statistical measures utilized by the Company to analyze its performance, as well as key financial results. This historical data is not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any future period. Refer to Comments on Regulation G below for additional details, including definitions of these statistical measures and certain reconciliations.

• Revenues increased $91.8 million, or 6.4%, in the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher supply chain revenues, U.S. franchise advertising revenues and U.S. franchise royalties and fees. 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, which increased 1.7% during the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. These increases were partially offset by a shift in the relative mix of products sold by the Company. The increase in U.S. franchise advertising revenues was driven by a decrease in advertising incentives in the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, higher same store sales and net store growth. U.S. franchise royalties and fees increased as a result of higher same store sales and net store growth.
  
  
• U.S. Company-owned store gross margin decreased 5.4 percentage points in the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher insurance costs, higher labor rates and the increase in the Company's food basket pricing to stores.
  
  
• Supply chain gross margin increased 0.1 percentage points in the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to procurement productivity, partially offset by higher insurance costs and the increase in the cost of the Company's food basket.
  
  
• Income from operations increased $22.0 million, or 8.0%, in the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding the positive impact of foreign currency exchange rates on international franchise royalty revenues of $1.9 million, income from operations increased $20.1 million, or 7.3%. The increase in income from operations was primarily due to higher franchise royalties and fees and gross margin dollar growth within supply chain but was partially offset by a decrease in U.S. Company-owned store gross margin.
  
  
• Net income increased $12.2 million, or 7.2%, in the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher income from operations as discussed above. To a lesser extent, a decrease in the provision for income taxes also contributed to the increase in net income. The effective tax rate decreased to 21.2% in the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to 23.3% in the fourth quarter of 2024, resulting in a decrease in the provision for income taxes of $2.8 million. These increases in net income were partially offset by an unfavorable change of $10.8 million in the pre-tax net realized and unrealized losses and gains associated with the Company's investment in DPC Dash Ltd.
  
  
• Diluted EPS was $5.35 in the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to $4.89 in the fourth quarter of 2024, representing a $0.46, or 9.4%, increase. The increase in diluted EPS in the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 was driven by higher net income and a lower weighted average diluted share count resulting from the Company's share repurchases during the trailing four quarters.
  
  
• Net cash provided by operating activities was $792.1 million in 2025 as compared to $624.9 million in 2024. The Company spent $120.6 million on capital expenditures in 2025 as compared to $112.9 million in 2024, resulting in free cash flow of $671.5 million in 2025 as compared to $512.0 million in 2024. The increase in free cash flow was primarily driven by the positive impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities. Additionally, higher net income excluding non-cash operating activities and the timing and amount of advertising activities also contributed to the increase in free cash flow. These increases were partially offset by a higher investments in capital expenditures.

Quarterly Dividend

Subsequent to the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, on February 18, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors approved a 15% increase to its per share quarterly dividend and a $1.99 per share quarterly dividend was declared on its outstanding common stock for shareholders of record as of March 13, 2026, to be paid on March 30, 2026.

Share Repurchases

During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company repurchased and retired 188,526 shares of common stock for a total of $80.0 million. During 2025, the Company repurchased and retired 785,280 shares of common stock for a total of $354.7 million. As of December 28, 2025, the Company had a total remaining authorized amount for share repurchases of $459.7 million.

Comments on Regulation G

In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth in this press release, the Company has included non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G, including free cash flow, income from operations, excluding foreign currency impact and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. The Company has also included metrics such as global retail sales, global retail sales growth (excluding foreign currency impact), same store sales growth, net store growth, food basket pricing change, impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on international franchise royalty revenues and the leverage ratio, which are commonly used statistical measures in the quick-service restaurant industry that are important to understanding Company performance.

The Company uses "global retail sales," a statistical measure, to refer to total worldwide retail sales at Company-owned and franchise stores. The Company believes global retail sales information is useful in analyzing revenues because franchisees pay royalties and advertising fees that are based on a percentage of franchise retail sales. The Company reviews comparable industry global retail sales information to assess business trends and to track the growth of the Domino's Pizza brand and believes they are indicative of the financial health of the Company's franchisee base. In addition, supply chain revenues are directly impacted by changes in franchise retail sales in the U.S. and Canada. As a result, sales by Domino's franchisees have a direct effect on the Company's profitability. Retail sales for franchise stores are reported to the Company by its franchisees and are not included in Company revenues. "Global retail sales growth" is calculated as the change of U.S. Dollar global retail sales against the comparable period of the prior year. "Global retail sales growth, excluding foreign currency impact" is calculated as the change of international local currency global retail sales against the comparable period of the prior year. Changes in global retail sales growth, excluding foreign currency impact, are primarily driven by same store sales growth and net store growth.

The Company uses "same store sales growth," a statistical measure, which is calculated by including only retail sales from stores that also had sales in the comparable weeks of both periods. International same store sales growth is calculated similarly to U.S. same store sales growth. Changes in international same store sales are reported excluding foreign currency impacts, which reflect changes in international local currency sales. Same store sales growth for transferred stores is reflected in their current classification.

The Company uses "net store growth," a statistical measure, which is calculated by netting gross store openings with gross store closures during the period. Transfers between Company-owned stores and franchised stores are excluded from the calculation of net store growth.

The Company uses "food basket pricing change," a statistical measure, which is calculated as the percentage change of the food basket (including both food and cardboard products) purchased by an average U.S. store (based on average weekly unit sales) from U.S. supply chain centers against the comparable period of the prior year. The Company believes that the food basket pricing change is important to investors and other interested persons to understand the Company's performance. As food basket prices fluctuate, revenues, cost of sales and gross margin percentages in the Company's supply chain segment also fluctuate. Additionally, cost of sales, gross margins and gross margin percentages for the Company's U.S. Company-owned stores also fluctuate.

The Company uses "free cash flow," which is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures, both as reported under GAAP. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is net cash provided by operating activities. The Company believes that the free cash flow measure is important to investors and other interested persons, and that such persons benefit from having a measure which communicates how much cash flow is available for working capital needs or to be used for repurchasing debt, making acquisitions, repurchasing common stock or paying dividends.

The Company uses "income from operations, excluding foreign currency impact," which is calculated as income from operations as reported under GAAP, less the "impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on international franchise royalty revenues," a statistical measure. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is income from operations. The impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on international franchise royalty revenues is calculated as the difference in international franchise royalty revenues resulting from translating current period local currency results to U.S. dollars at current period exchange rates as compared to prior period exchange rates. The Company believes that the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on international franchise royalty revenues is important to investors and other interested persons to understand the Company's international royalty revenues given the significant variability in those revenues and that can be driven by changes in foreign currency exchanges rates. International franchise royalty revenues do not have a cost of sales component, so changes in these revenues have a direct impact on income from operations.

The Company uses "Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA," which is calculated as Segment Income as defined by the Company under Accounting Standards Codification 280, Segment Reporting, less corporate administrative costs that have not been allocated to a reportable segment including labor, computer expenses, professional fees, travel and entertainment, rent, insurance and other corporate administrative costs. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is defined in the base indenture governing the Company's securitized debt. The Company uses Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to determine future business objectives and targets and for long-range planning, as well as to evaluate total Company operating performance for the purposes of determining certain variable performance-based compensation. The Company believes Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is a reliable barometer for the overall success of the Company. It is also used to calculate the leverage ratio (defined below), and other ratios defined in the indenture governing the Company's securitized debt. As such, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is important to investors and other interested persons to understand the financial performance of the Company, and to assess the ability of the Company to meet its financial obligations.

The Company uses the "leverage ratio¹," which is calculated as the Company's securitized debt related to its fixed-rate notes and borrowings under its variable funding notes, divided by Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA on a trailing four quarters basis. The Company has historically operated with a leverage ratio between four and six times. The Company reviews its leverage ratio on at least a quarterly basis and believes its leverage ratio is important to investors and other interested persons to understand the capital structure of the Company, and to assess the ability of the Company to meet its financial obligations.

The reconciliation of the leverage ratio for the fourth quarters of 2025 and 2024 is as follows below.
