Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited; tabular amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

March 27, 2005

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2005 included in our annual report on Form 10-K.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the fiscal quarter ended March 27, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 1, 2006.

 

Domino’s Pizza, Inc. is the parent and holding company of Domino’s, Inc. Accordingly, all 10 outstanding shares of Domino’s, Inc. common stock, par value $0.01 per share, are owned by Domino’s Pizza, Inc. As the holding company of Domino’s, Inc., Domino’s Pizza, Inc. does not conduct ongoing business operations. As a result, the financial information for Domino’s Pizza, Inc. and subsidiaries and Domino’s, Inc. and subsidiaries is substantially similar. As the differences are minor, we have presented Domino’s Pizza, Inc. and subsidiaries information throughout this filing, except for the supplemental guarantor condensed consolidating financial statements of Domino’s, Inc. and subsidiaries included in footnote 8.

6. New Accounting Pronouncement

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123R (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payments” (SFAS 123R). In April 2005, the FASB amended SFAS 123R to delay the effective date of the Statement to the first annual period beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS 123R requires that the cost of all employee stock options, as well as other equity-based compensation arrangements, be reflected in the financial statements based on the estimated fair value of the awards. We are required to adopt SFAS 123R at the beginning of fiscal 2006. We are currently assessing valuation model alternatives (i.e. Black-Scholes or binomial models) as well as related assumptions to be used in such models. Additionally, we are evaluating the two adoption alternatives (the modified-prospective method and the modified-retrospective method). Once our evaluation is complete, we will determine an appropriate valuation model, the method of adoption and the impact the adoption will have on our results of operations.

 

7. Related Party Share Repurchase and Senior Credit Facility Amendment

 

Subsequent to the first quarter, we repurchased and retired 4,409,171 shares of our Common Stock from JP Morgan Capital, L.P. and its affiliates (collectively, JPMP), for $75.0 million, or $17.01 per share. The repurchase price of $17.01 per share in this private transaction was based on a negotiated discount between us and JPMP. We used $35.0 million of available cash on hand and $40.0 million of borrowings from our revolving credit facility to fund the repurchase of shares.

 

Additionally, we completed an amendment to our senior credit facility in order to permit the share repurchase transaction, reduce current cash sweep requirements and provide additional financial flexibility.

 

8. Supplemental Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements of Domino’s, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

The tables below present condensed consolidating financial information for the applicable periods for: (1) Domino’s, Inc.; (2) on a combined basis, the guarantor subsidiaries of Domino’s, Inc.’s senior subordinated notes due 2011, which includes most of the domestic subsidiaries of Domino’s, Inc. and one foreign subsidiary of Domino’s, Inc.; and (3) on a combined basis, the non-guarantor subsidiaries of Domino’s, Inc.’s senior subordinated notes due 2011. The separate financial statements of Domino’s, Inc. and subsidiaries are presented using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, Domino’s, Inc.’s investment in subsidiaries is included in “Other assets” and the net earnings of the subsidiaries are included in “Equity earnings in subsidiaries”. Except for the minor differences noted in the footnotes to the condensed consolidating financial statements below, the consolidated financial statements of Domino’s, Inc. and subsidiaries are substantially similar to the consolidated financial statements of Domino’s Pizza, Inc. and subsidiaries. Each of the guarantor subsidiaries is jointly, severally, fully and unconditionally liable under the related guarantee.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Unaudited; tabular amounts in millions, except percentages and store data)

 

The 2005 and 2004 first quarters referenced herein represent the twelve-week periods ended March 27, 2005 and March 21, 2004, respectively.

 

Overview

 

During the first quarter of 2005, global retail sales, comprised of retail sales at both our franchise and Company-owned stores worldwide, grew 13.8% as compared to the prior year period. This growth was driven primarily by robust same store sales growth in both our domestic and international markets as well as an increase in our worldwide store counts. During the same period, revenues grew 16.0% as compared to the prior year period. Additionally, during the first quarter, we posted a strong increase in income from operations of 16.2% as compared to the prior year period, despite an environment of rising commodity prices negatively affecting our food costs.

 

Our global retail sales benefited from strong same store sales growth, both domestically and internationally, an increase in our worldwide store counts and the positive effect of a weaker U.S. Dollar in the key international markets in which we compete. During the first quarter as compared to the prior year period, domestic same store sales grew 11.2%, comprised of a domestic Company-owned same store sales increase of 13.8% and a domestic franchise same store sales increase of 10.8%. These positive same store sales results were driven by positive consumer response to the Company’s marketing and promotional activities. We also continued to benefit from strong same store sales in our international markets during the first quarter, which increased 8.5% on a constant dollar basis versus the prior year period. On a historical dollar basis, international same store sales increased 12.3% during the quarter versus the prior year period. The first quarter marked the 45th consecutive quarter that we have grown our international same store sales. Additionally, we grew our worldwide net store counts by 42 and 326 stores during the first quarter and trailing four quarters, respectively.

 

Income from operations increased $7.0 million, or 16.2%, to $50.5 million in the first quarter, from $43.5 million in the first quarter of 2004. This increase was driven by higher royalty revenues from domestic and international franchise stores, higher domestic Company-owned same store sales and higher volumes in our distribution business. These increases were offset in part by higher food costs at our Company-owned stores and increases in variable general and administrative expenses as a result of higher revenues. The average published cheese block price per pound increased $0.20 to $1.54 in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the prior year period.

 

Net income increased $6.6 million, or 35.6%, to $25.0 million in the first quarter, from $18.4 million in the first quarter of 2004. This increase was driven primarily by the aforementioned increase in income from operations as well as a reduction in interest expense from the comparable period in 2004. The reduction in interest expense was a result of lower average debt balances and a reduction in our average borrowing rates.

Revenues

 

Revenues primarily include retail sales by Company-owned stores, royalties from domestic and international franchise stores, and sales of food, equipment and supplies by our distribution centers to certain domestic and international franchise stores. Company-owned store and franchise store revenues may vary significantly from period to period due to changes in store count mix while distribution revenues may vary significantly as a result of fluctuations in commodity prices, primarily cheese and meats.

 

Consolidated revenues increased $50.9 million, or 16.0%, to $369.7 million in the first quarter of 2005, from $318.8 million in the comparable period in 2004. This increase was a result of increases in revenues at each of our reportable segments and is more fully described below.

Domestic stores revenues increased $14.9 million, or 12.1%, to $137.5 million in the first quarter of 2005, from $122.6 million in the comparable period in 2004. This increase in revenues was due primarily to higher domestic Company-owned and franchise same store sales as well as increases in the average number of domestic franchise stores in operation during 2005. Domestic same store sales increased 11.2% in the first quarter of 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, driven by positive consumer response to the Company’s marketing and promotional activities. These changes in domestic stores revenues are more fully described below.

Domestic Distribution

 

Revenues from domestic distribution operations increased $30.9 million, or 18.1%, to $201.8 million in the first quarter of 2005, from $170.9 million in the comparable period in 2004. This increase in revenues was due primarily to higher volumes related to increases in domestic franchise retail sales and a market increase in overall commodity prices, including higher cheese prices. The published cheese block price-per-pound averaged $1.54 in the first quarter of 2005, up from $1.34 in the comparable period in 2004. Had the 2005 average cheese prices been in effect during 2004, distribution revenues for the first quarter of 2004 would have been approximately $6.7 million higher than the reported 2004 amount. In addition to higher cheese prices, pricing on meats and paper also increased versus the prior year period.

 

International

 

Revenues from international operations increased $5.1 million, or 20.1%, to $30.4 million in the first quarter of 2005, from $25.3 million in the comparable period in 2004. This increase in revenues was due to higher same store sales, an increase in the average number of international stores open during 2005 and related increases in revenues from our international distribution operations. On a constant dollar basis, same store sales increased 8.5% in the first quarter of 2005 versus the comparable period in 2004. On a historical dollar basis, same store sales increased 12.3% in the first quarter of 2005 versus the comparable period in 2004, reflecting a generally weaker U.S. Dollar in those markets in which we compete. There were 2,784 and 2,553 international stores in operation as of March 27, 2005 and March 21, 2004, respectively.

 

Cost of Sales / Operating Margin

 

Consolidated cost of sales is comprised primarily of domestic Company-owned store and domestic distribution costs incurred to generate related revenues. Components of consolidated cost of sales primarily include food, labor and occupancy costs.

 

The consolidated operating margin, which we define as revenues less cost of sales, increased $11.9 million, or 14.7%, to $93.0 million in the first quarter of 2005, from $81.1 million in the comparable period in 2004, as summarized in the following table.

Consolidated revenues

   $ 369.7    100.0 %   $ 318.8    100.0 %

Consolidated operating margin

   $ 93.0    25.2 %   $ 81.1    25.4 %
    

  

 

  

 

The increase in consolidated operating margin for the first quarter of 2005 was due primarily to higher domestic franchise and international royalty revenues resulting from strong global retail sales growth.

 

As a percentage of revenues, the consolidated operating margin decreased 0.2 percentage points to 25.2% in the first quarter of 2005, from 25.4% in the comparable period in 2004. The consolidated operating margin as a percentage of revenues was negatively impacted as a result of higher food costs, which pressured domestic Company-owned store and distribution operating margins. Additionally, despite continued strong growth in international franchise royalty revenues, the international operating margin as a percentage of revenues decreased as a result of a mix change between the lower-margin Company-owned stores and distribution operations as compared to the higher-margin franchise royalty revenues. These decreases were offset in part by margin improvements resulting from higher same store sales and store counts, which generated increased domestic and international franchise royalty revenues, higher distribution volumes and higher domestic Company-owned store revenues.

 

As mentioned above, the consolidated operating margin as a percentage of revenues was negatively impacted by higher food costs, primarily cheese. Cheese price changes are a “pass-through” in domestic distribution revenues and cost of sales and, as such, have no impact on operating margin or income. However, cheese price changes do impact operating margin as a percentage of revenues. Had the 2005 average cheese prices been in effect during 2004, the total operating margin for the first quarter of 2004 would have been approximately 24.9% of total revenues, versus the reported 25.4%. This would have resulted in an operating margin improvement of 0.3 percentage points in the first quarter of 2005, versus the reported decrease of 0.2 percentage points.

Domestic Company-Owned Stores

 

The domestic Company-owned store operating margin increased $2.2 million, or 12.5%, to $20.1 million in the first quarter of 2005, from $17.9 million in the comparable period in 2004, as summarized in the following table.

The increase in the domestic Company-owned store operating margin during the first quarter of 2005 was due primarily to an increase in same store sales, offset in part by an increase in overall commodity prices, primarily cheese.

 

As a percentage of store revenues, the store operating margin increased 0.1 percentage points, to 20.4%, in the first quarter of 2005, from 20.3% in the comparable period in 2004. As a percentage of store revenues, food costs increased 2.8 percentage points to 29.1% in the first quarter of 2005, from 26.3% in the comparable period in 2004. This increase in food costs as a percentage of store revenues was due primarily to an increase in overall commodity prices, primarily cheese and to a lesser extent, meats and paper. As a percentage of store revenues, labor costs decreased 1.6 percentage points to 29.2% in the first quarter of 2005, from 30.8% in the comparable period in 2004. As a percentage of store revenues, occupancy costs, which include rent, telephone, utilities and depreciation, decreased 0.9 percentage points to 10.3% in the first quarter of 2005, from 11.2% in the comparable period in 2004. The decreases in labor and occupancy costs as a percentage of revenues were driven primarily by higher same store sales.

 

Domestic Distribution

 

The domestic distribution operating margin increased $3.0 million or 18.3% to $19.7 million in the first quarter of 2005, from $16.7 million in the comparable period in 2004, as summarized in the following table.

The increase in the domestic distribution operating margin during the first quarter of 2005 was due primarily to higher volumes as a result of increases in domestic retail sales, offset in part by higher labor, delivery and occupancy costs.

 

As a percentage of distribution revenues, the distribution operating margin increased 0.1 percentage points, to 9.8%, in the first quarter of 2005, from 9.7% in the comparable period in 2004. Had the 2005 average cheese prices been in effect during 2004, the distribution operating margin for the first quarter of 2004 would have been approximately 9.4% of distribution revenues, versus the reported 9.7%. This would have resulted in an operating margin improvement of 0.4 percentage points during the first quarter of 2005, versus the reported improvement of 0.1 percentage points.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses increased $4.9 million, or 13.0%, to $42.5 million in the first quarter of 2005, from $37.6 million in the comparable period in 2004. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the first quarter was due primarily to increases in variable general and administrative expenses, including higher administrative labor due primarily to higher performance based bonuses and increases in advertising and store incentive expenses relating to continued improvement in the financial performance of our domestic store operations. Additionally, insurance and depreciation and amortization expenses increased during the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the prior year period. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased 0.3 percentage points, to 11.5%, in the first quarter of 2005, versus 11.8% in the prior year.

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense decreased $3.4 million, or 24.1%, to $10.6 million in the first quarter of 2005, from $14.0 million in the comparable period in 2004. This decrease in interest expense was due primarily to lower average debt balances and a reduction in our average borrowing rates. Our average outstanding debt balance, excluding capital lease obligations, decreased $183.6 million to $752.9 million in the first quarter of 2005, from $936.5 million in the comparable period in 2004. Our effective borrowing rate decreased 0.5 percentage points to 5.3% during the first quarter, from 5.8% in the comparable period in 2004. This reduction in average borrowing rates was due to senior credit facility pricing reductions and prepayments of senior subordinated notes, offset in part by higher market interest rates.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

Provision for income taxes increased $3.9 million to $15.1 million in the first quarter of 2004, from $11.2 million in the comparable period in 2004. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2005 was 37.75%, and remained flat with the effective rate for the first quarter of 2004.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We had working capital of $26.1 million and cash and cash equivalents of $53.2 million at March 27, 2005. Historically, we have operated with minimal positive or negative working capital, primarily because our receivable collection periods and inventory turn rates are faster than the normal payment terms on our current liabilities. We generally collect our receivables within three weeks from the date of the related sale and we generally experience 40 to 50 inventory turns per year. In addition, our sales are not typically seasonal, which further limits our working capital requirements. These factors, coupled with significant and ongoing cash flows from operations, which are primarily used to repay debt, invest in long-term assets, and pay dividends, reduce our working capital amounts. More recently, as a result of our current senior secured credit facility only requiring one percent annual amortization payments, we do not have a significant current portion of long-term debt. Accordingly, our working capital has been positively impacted. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and availability of borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We expect to fund planned capital expenditures, debt repayments and dividends from these sources. We did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures as of March 27, 2005.

 

As of March 27, 2005, we had $751.9 million of debt, of which $0.3 million was classified as a current liability. There were no borrowings under our $125.0 million revolving credit facility. Letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility were $25.5 million. These letters of credit are primarily related to our casualty insurance programs and distribution center leases. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are available to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.

 

We enter into interest rate swaps, collars or similar instruments with the objective of reducing volatility relating to our borrowing costs. As of March 27, 2005, we were party to interest rate derivatives in the total notional amount of $475.0 million. Approximately 73% of outstanding borrowings were contractually fixed as of March 27, 2005.

 

Subsequent to the first quarter on March 29, 2005, we repurchased and retired 4,409,171 shares of our Common Stock from JP Morgan Capital, L.P. and its affiliates, for $75.0 million, or $17.01 per share. We used $35.0 million of available cash-on-hand and $40.0 million of borrowings from our revolving credit facility to fund this repurchase of shares. Additionally, we completed an amendment to our senior credit facility in order to permit the share repurchase transaction, reduce current cash sweep requirements and provide additional financial flexibility.

 

Cash provided by operating activities was $40.7 million and $17.1 million in the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The $23.6 million increase was due primarily to an $18.3 million net change in operating assets and liabilities and a $6.6 million increase in net income, offset by a $2.0 million decrease in provision for deferred income taxes. The $18.3 million source of cash resulting from the net change in operating assets and liabilities was due primarily to the timing of payments for accounts payable and income taxes.

 

16


Table of Contents

Cash used in investing activities was $4.6 million and $6.2 million in the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The $1.6 million decrease was due primarily to a $1.9 million increase in proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment resulting from the sale of nine Company-owned stores in the first quarter of 2005.

 

Cash used in financing activities was $23.2 million and $18.6 million in the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The $4.6 million increase was due primarily to a $6.7 million increase in repayments of long-term debt.

 

Based upon the current level of operations and anticipated growth, we believe that the cash generated from operations and amounts available under the revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet our anticipated debt service requirements, capital expenditures, dividend payments and working capital needs for the next twelve months. Our ability to continue to fund these items and continue to reduce debt could be adversely affected by the occurrence of any of the events described under “Risk Factors” in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available under the senior secured credit facility or otherwise to enable us to service our indebtedness, including the senior secured credit facility and the senior subordinated notes, or to make anticipated capital expenditures, or to make anticipated dividend payments. Our future operating performance and our ability to service or refinance the senior subordinated notes and to service, extend or refinance the senior secured credit facility will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Additionally, Domino’s, Inc. may be requested to provide funds to its parent company, Domino’s Pizza, Inc. for dividends, distributions and/or other cash needs of Domino’s Pizza, Inc.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Market Risk

 

We are exposed to market risks from interest rate changes on our variable rate debt. Management actively monitors this exposure. We do not engage in speculative transactions nor do we hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

 

Interest Rate Derivatives

 

We enter into interest rate swaps, collars or similar instruments with the objective of reducing volatility relating to our borrowing costs.

 

We are party to two interest rate swap agreements which effectively convert the variable LIBOR component of the effective interest rate on a portion of our debt under our senior secured credit facility to various fixed rates over various terms. We are also party to two interest rate swap agreements which effectively convert the fixed component of our debt under our senior subordinated notes to variable LIBOR rates over the term of the senior subordinated notes.

 

These agreements are summarized in the following table.

Interest Rate Swap

  $300.0 million   June 2004 – June 2005   1.62%   LIBOR

 

In 2004, we entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement effectively converting the variable LIBOR component on a portion of our senior secured credit facility term debt to various fixed rates over various terms. The agreement has a notional starting amount of $350.0 million, begins in June 2005, ends in June 2007 and fixes our interest rate at 3.21%. We pay a fixed interest rate under these agreements while the counterparty pays a floating rate.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Our variable interest expense is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates. At March 27, 2005, the weighted average interest rate on our $198.0 million of variable interest debt was 5.7%.

 

We had total interest expense of approximately $10.6 million in the first quarter of 2005. The estimated increase in interest expense for this period from a hypothetical 200 basis point adverse change in applicable variable interest rates would be approximately $1.0 million.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Domino’s Pizza, Inc.’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, David A. Brandon, and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Harry J. Silverman, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of Domino’s Pizza, Inc.’s and Domino’s, Inc.’s disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, Messrs. Brandon and Silverman concluded that each of Domino’s Pizza, Inc.’s and Domino’s, Inc.’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

During the quarterly period ended March 27, 2005 there have been no changes in either Domino’s Pizza, Inc.’s or Domino’s, Inc.’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect Domino’s Pizza, Inc.’s or Domino’s, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We are a party to lawsuits, revenue agent reviews by taxing authorities and administrative proceedings in the ordinary course of business which include workers’ compensation, general liability, automobile and franchisee claims. We are also subject to suits related to employment practices and, specifically in California, wage and hour claims and two class actions pending in Orange County, California Superior Court brought by former employees. On June 10, 2003, a class action complaint was filed alleging that we failed to provide meal and rest breaks to our employees. This case is in the discovery stage and no determination with respect to class certification has been made.

 

On August 19, 2004, a class action complaint was filed by a former general manager alleging that we misclassified the position of general manager. We classify the general manager of a Domino’s Pizza store as an exempt employee. This case involves the issue of whether employees and former employees in the general manager position who worked in our 60 California stores during specified time periods were misclassified as exempt and deprived of overtime pay. We believe this case is without merit and intend to vigorously defend against the related claims. This case is in the earliest stages of discovery, and the status of the class action certification is yet to be determined. We are presently unable to predict the probable outcome of this matter or the amounts of any potential damages at issue.

 

We believe that these matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a significant adverse effect on our financial condition and that our established reserves adequately provide for the estimated resolution of such claims.
