Interim Results for the period ended 30 June 2026
DP Poland, the operator of pizza stores and restaurants across Poland and Croatia, is pleased to announce its unaudited results for the six months ended 30 June 2026.
Lukasz Ostrowski, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"I am delighted to have joined DP Poland at this important stage of its development. The Group delivered a strong performance in H1 2026, with double-digit growth in system sales and orders across both Poland and Croatia, demonstrating the improving earnings profile of the business as it continues to scale. DP Poland has strong foundations, a clear strategy and significant growth potential. The evolving ownership mix supports more capital-efficient growth and provides a stronger platform for sustainable long-term returns.
Five Pizzeria 105 stores were converted to Domino's during the first half, bringing the total number of conversions since the acquisition to 18. Although the programme progressed more slowly than initially anticipated, the performance of converted stores remains encouraging. We are applying the experience gained from completed conversions to simplify the process, improve unit economics and support greater franchisee adoption as we seek to accelerate the programme.
My immediate priorities are clear: to strengthen and complete the integration of the remaining Pizzeria 105 estate, advance the transition to a franchise-led model and unlock new franchise openings by making the proposition more attractive and repeatable. Across all three priorities, we remain focused on delivering profitable order growth while maintaining disciplined cash management."

Financial highlights
- Group's system sales increased by 20.6% on a reported basis to £34.8m (H1 2025: £28.8m), and by 17.5% on a constant-currency basis, driven by network expansion and positive like-for-like (LFL) sales growth.
- Group revenue increased by 7.1% to £30.7m (H1 2025: 28.7m). Revenue growth was lower than system sales growth, reflecting the continued transition from corporate-owned to franchisee-owned stores.
- Group EBITDA increased by 24.3% to £3.2m (H1 2025: £2.5m).
- Mastergrupa generated £0.6m revenue and £0.4m EBITDA in H1 2026 (£0.4m revenue and £0.3m EBITDA in H1 2025, which included its results from the acquisition date at the end of March 2025).
- Group EBITDA on a pre-IFRS 16 basis more than doubled to £1.3m (H1 2025: £0.7m), an increase of 101.8%.
- The Group reported a profit for the period of £0.1m, compared with a loss of £0.5m in H1 2025.
- Poland system sales increased by 16.4% in local currency compared with H1 2025, driven by network expansion and a 10.7% increase in total system orders, together with a 5.2% increase in average check
- Poland LFL system sales grew by 6.2% in H1 2026. Growth moderated in Q2 against a strong comparative period, which benefited from significant marketing and promotional activity in Q2 2025.
- Croatia system sales increased by 34.4% in local currency, supported by a 23.4% increase in total system orders. LFL system sales grew by 7.8%.
- Cash and cash equivalents amounted to £0.7m at 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: £1.4m). The Group utilised £0.3m of its overdraft facility and had an outstanding investment loan of £0.9m at 30 June 2026, resulting in net debt of £0.6m before IFRS 16 lease liabilities (31 December 2025: net cash of £1.4m). Including lease liabilities of £8.2m, net debt amounted to £8.8m (31 December 2025: £7.2m).
- The reduction in cash principally reflects capital expenditure of £1.8m, including the modernisation of the consolidated commissary, together with a £1.4m reduction in trade and other payables. The Group also held £5.3m of non-current trade and other receivables, comprising mainly loans granted to sub-franchisees in connection with corporate store disposals. These loans are expected to generate future cash inflows in accordance with their contractual repayment schedules.
Operational highlights
- The Group operated 139 Domino's stores, 132 in Poland and 7 in Croatia at the end of June 2026. In addition, the Group operated 69 fully franchised Pizzeria 105 stores at the half-year, a total of 208 stores.
- Franchisee-owned Domino's stores increased to 53, representing 38% of the Domino's estate.
- Six corporate-owned stores were sold to franchisees during H1 2026, advancing the Group's transition to a franchise-led operating model.
- Five Pizzeria 105 stores were converted to Domino's during H1 2026, bringing the total number converted since acquisition to 18.
- The Group refined the Pizzeria 105 conversion programme based on operational learnings from the first 18 conversions, focusing on simplifying the process, improving unit economics and increasing franchisee adoption.
- In H1 2026, two new corporate stores were opened, two were renovated, and four underperforming stores were closed in Poland as part of the store network optimisation plan. In addition, one Pizzeria 105 store was closed during the period.
- Commissary consolidation was completed in Q1 2026. The operational benefits are beginning to flow through the business, supporting improved cost efficiency, labour productivity and long-term scalability.
- In H1 2026, average pizza delivery times in Poland remained broadly stable at 27.7 minutes, compared with 27.0 minutes in H1 2025.
Post period end trading update
Trading in Poland remained resilient during July and August 2026, with total system sales increasing by 11.1% in local currency compared with the prior year. LFL system sales were broadly flat, increasing by 0.3%, with an 8.7% increase in average ticket value offsetting a 7.7% decline in LFL system orders. The increase in average ticket value reflected the Group's approach to pricing and lower levels of discounting during the period. As a result, year-to-date through August 2026, Poland delivered 15.1% growth in total system sales and 4.7% growth in LFL system sales, supported by 6.2% growth in average ticket value and 8.3% growth in total system orders.
Croatia delivered strong total system sales growth of 39.2% in July and August 2026, benefiting from new store openings. LFL system sales declined by 3.0%, reflecting the impact of the particularly hot summer period.
The Group continues to execute initiatives designed to drive profitable order growth and increase order density. Focused on advancing the transition to a franchise led model to deliver over 50% of the store network being franchised by the end of 2026, this is to be driven through further corporate store sales where the terms support attractive returns for both the Group and our franchise partners. The Group is also focused on accelerating the Pizzeria 105 conversion programme through a refined conversion model, improving franchisee economics and supporting new franchise openings through a more attractive and repeatable proposition with lower entry costs for franchise partners.
The Group also continues to develop its digital capabilities, focusing on improving the customer journey across its app and website, increasing conversion and supporting more targeted customer engagement.
The Board remains encouraged by the resilience of sales performance and the continued progress of strategic initiatives across both markets; the business is trading in line with the market expectations for the full year.

Notes for editors
About DP Poland plc
DP Poland has the exclusive right to develop, operate, and sub-franchise Domino's Pizza stores in Poland and Croatia. The Group operates 139 Domino's locations across Poland and Croatia. In addition, DP Poland owns and operates a second pizza brand, Pizzeria 105, with 69 locations across Poland.
Chief Executive Officer's Review
I am delighted to have joined DP Poland at an important stage in the Group's development. The business has strong foundations, a clear franchise-led strategy and significant growth potential in two attractive and underpenetrated markets.
DP Poland delivered a strong performance in H1 2026, with double-digit growth in system sales and total system orders across both Poland and Croatia. Group system sales increased by 20.6% on a reported currency basis and by 17.5% on a constant currency basis, supported by network expansion and positive LFL sales growth in both markets. Group system orders increased by 11.5%.
Revenue increased by 7.1% to £30.7 million, compared with £28.7 million in H1 2025. Revenue growth was lower than system sales growth due to the increasing proportion of franchisee-owned stores, for which the Group recognises franchise and supply-chain income rather than the stores' full retail sales.
Profitability also improved significantly. Pre-IFRS 16 EBITDA more than doubled to £1.3 million, compared with £0.7 million in H1 2025. Post-IFRS 16 EBITDA increased by 24.3% to £3.2 million, while the EBITDA margin improved to 10.3% from 8.8%. The Group reported a profit for the period of £0.1m, compared with a loss of £0.5m in H1 2025.
Trading performance
In Poland, total system sales increased by 16.4% in H1 2026 vs H1 2025 in local currency, supported by a 10.7% increase in total system orders. LFL system sales increased by 6.2%, with delivery LFL sales growing by 9.6%, partially offset by 2.7% reduction in non-delivery LFL sales.
LFL trading moderated in Q2 against a strong comparative period, which benefited from significant marketing and promotional activity in Q2 2025. LFL orders increased by 0.7% in H1 2026, comprising growth of 3.9% in Q1 and a decline of 2.3% in Q2. We recognise the softer LFL order performance in the second quarter and remain focused on initiatives to drive order growth while maintaining profitable system sales growth.
Croatia continued to perform strongly. System sales increased by 34.4%, supported by a 23.4% increase in total system orders, while LFL system sales grew by 7.8%. The Domino's network in Croatia expanded to seven stores at the end of the period, from five stores as at 30 June 2025.
Franchise transition
The transition towards a franchise-led, capital-light operating model remains central to the Group's strategy. During H1 2026, six corporate-owned stores were sold to franchise partners. As a result, the number of franchisee-owned Domino's stores increased to 53, representing 38% of the Domino's estate at the end of the period versus 17% at June 2025.
Increasing the proportion of franchisee-owned stores enables the Group to expand more efficiently, reduce capital intensity and generate a growing contribution from franchise fees, royalties and supply-chain income. It also allows franchise partners to apply their local market knowledge and entrepreneurial focus to store operations.
The Group remains focused on further corporate store disposals where this supports attractive franchisee economics and long-term shareholder returns.
Pizzeria 105 conversion programme
Five Pizzeria 105 stores were converted to Domino's during H1 2026, bringing the total number of conversions since the acquisition to 18.
The converted store portfolio delivered sales growth of 17.7% from each store's respective conversion date to the end of H1 2026, compared with the corresponding pre-conversion period. These results demonstrate the potential benefits available to Pizzeria 105 franchisees from joining the Domino's system.
Conversion activity progressed more slowly than anticipated. The Group has used the operational experience gained from completed conversions to refine the programme, with a focus on simplifying the conversion process, improving unit economics and supporting increased franchisee adoption. The Group is now focused on accelerating the pace of future conversions.
At 30 June 2026, the Group operated 69 Pizzeria 105 stores alongside 139 Domino's stores, taking the total portfolio to 208 locations.
Operational efficiency
The consolidation of the Group's commissary and dough-production operations into a single facility was completed in Q1 2026. The Group is beginning to realise the benefits of this consolidation through increased operational efficiency and enhanced capacity to support future network growth.
As the network expands, we expect to benefit from increased purchasing power, more efficient utilisation of the commissary and further supply-chain efficiencies. These improvements, together with the transition towards a franchise-led model, are expected to support continued margin development and stronger cash generation.
Leadership transition
I was appointed Chief Executive Officer on 3 August 2026, succeeding Nils Gornall. I would like to thank Nils for his significant contribution to DP Poland over the past four years. During his tenure, the Group expanded from 116 stores to more than 200 locations, achieved record system sales and made substantial progress in its transition towards a profitable, franchise-led business.
I am excited to lead the next phase of the Group's development and to work with our employees, franchise partners and the Board to build on these strong foundations. DP Poland has a compelling growth opportunity, a clear strategic direction and a strong platform for creating long-term shareholder value.
Outlook
The Board is pleased with the Group's performance in H1 2026. Supported by further network expansion, the continuing Pizzeria 105 conversion programme and ongoing improvements in LFL system sales, the Board expects the Group to trade in line with the market expectations for the full year.
Our transition to a franchise-led operating model remains the principal driver of the Group's long-term strategy. Margin improvement is expected to be supported by further corporate-store disposals, the benefits of commissary consolidation, supply-chain efficiencies and increased purchasing power as the network scales.
With strong market fundamentals, an expanding store network and a clear strategy for profitable growth, I am confident in the long-term potential of the Domino's brand in Poland and Croatia.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for 6 months to 30.06.2026
1 Basis of preparation
These condensed interim financial statements are unaudited and do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of the Companies Act 2006. These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' and were approved on behalf of the Board by the Non-Executive Chairman David Wild.
The accounting policies and methods of computation applied in these condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Group's most recent annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025. The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025, which were prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards, IFRIC Interpretations and the Companies Act 2006 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors' opinion on those financial statements was unqualified and did not contain a statement made under s498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
Copies of these condensed interim financial statements and the Group's most recent annual financial statements are available on request by writing to the Company Secretary at our registered office DP Poland plc, 11 York Street, Manchester, England, M2 2AW, or from our website www.dppoland.com.
Going concern
The Directors have reviewed the Group's current trading performance, forecasts, liquidity requirements, available funding facilities, and cash and debt position at 30 June 2026. In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern basis, the Directors have considered the Group's forecast cash flows and liquidity requirements for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these condensed interim financial statements. Based on this assessment, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to remain in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, these condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

3 Segmental reporting
The Board monitors the performance of the corporate stores and the commissary operations separately and therefore those are considered to be the Group's two operating segments. Corporate store sales comprise sales to the public. Corporate store sales include sales in Poland and Croatia, which are presented in Note 2 above. Commissary operations comprise sales to sub-franchisees of food, services and fixtures and equipment. Commissary operations also include the receipt of royalty income, rental income on leasehold property from sub-franchisees and sale of stores. The Board monitors the performance of the two segments based on their contribution towards gross profit. In accordance with IFRS 8, the segmental analysis presented reflects the information used by the Board. No separate balance sheets are prepared for the two operating segments and therefore no analysis of segment assets and liabilities is presented.

His appointment took effect on 3 August 2026, when Nils Gornall stepped down as Chief Executive Officer and as a director of the Company. As part of the succession arrangements, the Remuneration Committee exercised its discretion to approve the full vesting of Mr Gornall's outstanding unvested share options upon his departure.
These matters represent non-adjusting events after the reporting period and therefore have not resulted in any adjustment to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for H1 2026.
