AGM Statement

Domino's Pizza UK & IRL PLC 25 April 2002 Immediate Release 25 April 2002 Domino's Pizza UK&IRL plc ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING STATEMENT Domino's Pizza UK&IRL plc (symbol: DOM), the AIM listed pizza delivery company, holds its Annual General Meeting at 12 noon today. Chief Executive, Stephen Hemsley, will address attendees at the meeting on current trading and the outlook for the year, saying: 'System sales in the first 15 weeks of the year to 14 April 2002 were up 28.8% on the previous year (2001: 31.2%) to £33.1m (2001: £25.7m). In the same period average weekly unit sales for all Domino's delivery stores increased by 16.2% to £9,215 (2001: £7,931). Like-for-like sales were up 19.5% (2001: 20.3%) to £9,515 (2001: £7962).' 'Mintel's February 2002 Pizza and Pasta report states that our market grew by an estimated 7% in 2001. Based on this research, Domino's Pizza has out-stripped the market four-fold and this is very positive news.' 'The first three months of the year has seen Domino's continuing to build on its position as leader in pizza delivery. During the period we have opened seven new stores (2001: six) taking the total number of Domino's stores in the UK and Ireland to 244 at the end of the period.' 'The benefits of our TV advertising campaign and firm focus on quality continue to reinforce our position and we have further strengthened our property acquisitions and franchise sales teams in order to step up our roll-out programme.' 'Corporately and at store level, we are all putting a great deal of effort into providing the best possible product and service to an increasingly large customer base. This means not only using the finest quality fresh ingredients but also maintaining high standards of image and service in our stores. The re-imaging programme is progressing well and the work begun by our Flawless Execution team last year continues to ensure that all stores are being helped to achieve better standards of performance in all areas.' 'Based on growth to date we look forward to reporting continued buoyant growth at the interim stage in July.'
