Full Year Trading Update

 

Delivering against strategic objectives - FY25 revenue and pre-IFRS EBITDA
in line with market expectations

 

DP Poland PLC, the operator of Domino's Pizza stores and restaurants across Poland and Croatia, provides an unaudited trading update for Q4 and the full year ended 31 December 2025.

 

DP Poland's Chief Executive Officer, Nils Gornall, commented:  

"In 2025, DP Poland advanced across its strategic priorities, delivering solid system sales growth, improving profitability and continued progress in executing the Group's franchise-led strategy.

The business continues to capitalise on Poland's strong economic growth and rising disposable incomes, underpinning demand in the pizza category. Building scale and brand awareness, the Group continues to reinforce its position as a leading QSR pizza chain in Poland with a clear ambition to become market leader over the medium term.

DP Poland delivered Group system sales growth of 11.3% in 2025, driven by continued network expansion and improving like-for-like sales performance. Fourth-quarter trading hit record store sales, supported by double-digit growth from converted Pizzeria 105 locations. The shift to a franchise-led, capital-light model accelerated, with one-third of stores now franchise-owned (up from 12% last year). Combined with margin gains, growing profitability, and supply-chain optimisation, this transformation is expected to support sustainable EBITDA growth in 2026 and enhance shareholder value over the medium to long term."

Outlook

DP Poland enters 2026 with a clear focus on accelerating the transition to a franchise-led, capital-light operating model, which is expected to be the primary driver of system sales growth, margin expansion and improved returns. The proportion of franchise-owned stores is expected to continue to increase, building on the progress achieved in 2025, with the objective of having over half of the Domino's system franchised by the end of 2027.

 

In parallel, the Group remains focused on scaling the network towards its medium-term objective of exceeding 200 stores by the end of 2027. Strategic and operational initiatives are expected to support EBITDA margin improvements, driven by further disposals of corporate-owned stores, supply-chain optimisation and automation-led efficiencies, disciplined pricing actions and improved purchasing power as the store network expands.

The Group anticipates double-digit system sales growth in 2026, supported by the expected Q4 completion of the Pizzeria 105 conversion programme, continued store rollout across both corporate and franchised formats, and ongoing like-for-like system sales growth.

The person responsible for arranging the release of this announcement on behalf of the Company is Nils Gornall, CEO.
