Domino's (DPZ) Q1 Earnings & Revenues Lag Estimates, Stock Down
Read MoreHide Full Article
Domino's Pizza, Inc. (DPZ - Free Report) reported first-quarter fiscal 2022 results, wherein both earnings and revenues missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The bottom line missed the consensus mark for the second consecutive quarter, while the top line lagged the same for the third straight quarter. Following the results, shares of DPZ dipped 3.5% in the pre-market trading session.
Per Domino's CEO Ritch Allison, "We faced a number of headwinds during the first quarter, from the Omicron surge, to staffing shortages, to unprecedented inflation, which pressured our results. We are actively implementing strategies designed to address them; however, we expect some of these headwinds are likely to persist further into 2022.”
Earnings & Revenue Discussion
Domino's reported adjusted earnings per share of $2.50, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.07. Also, the figure declined 16.7% from $3 reported in the prior-year quarter. DPZ’s earnings were hurt by a lower net income (on a year-over-year basis), partially offset by lower weighted average share count owing to share repurchase.
Domino's Pizza Inc Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Revenues of $1,011.1 million lagged the consensus mark of $1,017 million. However, the top line improved 2.8% on a year-over-year basis. The upside was mainly driven by higher supply-chain revenues owing to a rise in market basket pricing.
In first-quarter fiscal 2022, Domino's opened 213 stores, comprising 37 net new U.S. stores and 176 net new international stores.
Comps
Global retail sales (including total sales of franchise and company-owned units) inched up 0.3% on a year-over-year basis in the fiscal first quarter. The upside can primarily be attributed to higher international store sales (up 2% year over year). However, sales at domestic stores declined 1.4% on a year-over-year basis. Excluding the foreign currency impact, global retail sales increased 3.6% from the prior-year quarter’s level.
For the fiscal first quarter, comps at Domino’s domestic stores (including company-owned and franchise stores) declined 3.6% from the year-ago quarter’s reading.
At domestic company-owned stores, Domino’s comps declined 10.5% year over year against growth of 6.3% reported in the year-ago period. Domestic franchise stores comps declined 3.2% year over year against an improvement of 13.9% reported in the prior-year quarter.
