DPZ in the fourth quarter of FY25 has reported the adjusted earnings per share of $5.35, missing the analysts’ estimates for the adjusted earnings per share of $5.39. The company had reported the adjusted revenue growth of 6.4 percent to $1.54 billion in the fourth quarter of FY25, beating the analysts’ estimates for revenue of $1.52 billion. This is 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.

Additionally, the company’s board of directors also approved a 15% increase in the quarterly dividend to $1.99 per share.

For 2026 Domino’s expects roughly 3% U.S. same-store sales, ~6% global retail sales growth and ~8% operating income growth (ex-53rd week).
