Read MoreHide Full Article
Domino's Pizza, Inc. (DPZ - Free Report) reported better-than-expected results for second-quarter fiscal 2021, wherein both earnings and revenues not only beat their respective Zacks Consensus Estimate but also improved year over year. Following the results, the company’s shares are up 2.5% in pre-market trading session.
The company reported strong U.S. same-store sales. The fiscal second quarter marked the 41st straight quarter of positive U.S. comparable sales and 110th consecutive quarter of positive international comps.
Earnings & Revenues Discussion
The company reported adjusted earnings per share of $3.12 per share, which topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.86 by 9.1%. The reported figure improved 4.3% on a year-over-year basis. The company’s earnings benefited from lower weighted average diluted share count owing to share repurchase. The gain was overshadowed by lower net income.
Revenues of $1,032.5 million surpassed the consensus mark of $967 million and rose 12.2% on a year-over-year basis. The upside was driven by U.S. and international same-store sales growth and an increase in global store count in the trailing four quarters. This, in turn, resulted in higher supply chain, U.S. stores and international franchise revenues.
In second-quarter fiscal 2021, it opened 256 stores, comprising 238 net new U.S. stores and 203 net new international stores.
