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.
In terms of same-store sales, domestically Domino’s had 13% growth while internationally it was only 6.6%.
The board of directors also declared a quarterly dividend of $0.38 per share for shareholders of record as of December 15, to be paid on December 30.
