The company has not received any royalties and fees from the operations in the Russia market since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

The company reported a net store decline of eight stores in the third quarter of 2023. This decline consisted of 27 net US store openings and 35 net international store closures.

However, if we exclude the impact of the Russia market closure, there was a net store growth of 135 stores during the same period.

Revenues and financial health

Revenues decreased by $41.2m (3.9%) in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022. This decrease was primarily due to lower supply chain revenues and lower U.S. Company-owned store revenues.

The supply chain revenue decrease was attributed to reduced market basket pricing to stores and lower order volumes. US Company-owned store revenues decreased due to the refranchising of 114 US Company-owned stores in Arizona and Utah in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Positive outlook for the future

Domino’s CEO Russell Weiner expressed optimism for the future, stating: “We continue to execute on our initiatives to drive sustainable growth in the US.”

Weiner highlighted their ‘Summer of Service’ initiative and the success of Domino’s Rewards in engaging more customers.

The company is also focusing on its integration with Uber’s marketplace and anticipates incremental orders from these efforts in 2024 and beyond.
