Domino’s Pizza Inc. (NYSE: DPZ) reported its most recent financial results before the markets opened on Tuesday. The company posted $0.96 in earnings per share (EPS) and $566.7 million in revenue. The consensus estimates from Thomson Reuters were $0.89 in EPS on revenue of $542.38 million. The same period of last year reportedly had EPS of $0.67 and $484.7 million in revenue.
The company saw its revenues rise in this quarter, primarily due to higher supply chain revenues from increased volumes and store growth. Increased domestic franchise and company-owned store revenues and higher international revenues resulting from both same-store sales and store count growth also contributed to this increase.

We continued to execute at a very high level during the third quarter, as our unprecedented momentum, steady strategy and alignment with our outstanding franchisees is helping to take the business to new heights. I couldn’t be more pleased with the way our system continues to answer the challenge of sustained success.
