ASX-listed Domino's Pizza Enterprises, parent company of Domino's New Zealand, has reported one of its strongest half-year results to date, with net profit of A$29.1 million, up 44.2 per cent on the same period last year.
Domino's Group chief executive and managing director Don Meij said the first-half result was unprecedented and set a base for the company to deliver a strong full-year. The company attributed the growth to digital and product innovation, record store count growth, and overseas earnings from Japan.
New Zealand general manager Scott Bush said the strong results from Domino's Group were reflective of how the New Zealand business was tracking. He said the focus for the coming year was on the stores.
"The results bode well for the continued store count growth we have planned," Bush said.
"We continue to keep an eye out for great landlords and more importantly great franchisees to open stores and become part of this successful brand. We are continuing with our plan for 10 stores open within a 12-month period and we are on track with seven new stores either recently opened or planned to open within the immediate future."
