4. Retirement of Senior Subordinated Notes
The Company retired $20.5 million of outstanding senior subordinated notes
during the first quarter of 2003. The Company recognized losses of approximately
$1.7 million reflecting the difference between the carrying values of the notes
and the open market purchase prices.
5. Balance Sheet Presentation of Advertising Fund
The Company has presented on a gross basis approximately $27.5 million of
assets and liabilities of our advertising fund (the "Advertising Fund") in the
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 23, 2003 and has reclassified
approximately $28.2 million of assets and liabilities of the Advertising Fund in
the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2002. The Company
had previously presented these assets and liabilities on a net basis. As the
related assets, consisting primarily of cash and accounts receivable, held by
the Advertising Fund can only be used for activities that promote the Domino's
Pizza brand, all assets held by the Advertising Fund are considered restricted.

===== ===== ==== ===== =====
Revenues
Revenues include retail sales by Company-owned stores, royalties and fees
from domestic and international franchise stores, and sales of food, equipment
and supplies by our distribution centers to certain domestic and international
franchise stores.
Consolidated revenues increased $4.2 million or 1.4% to $312.3 million in
the first quarter of 2003, from $308.1 million in the comparable period in 2002.
This increase in revenues was due primarily to increases in domestic
distribution and international revenues. These results are more fully described
below.
Domestic Stores
Domestic stores are comprised of domestic Company-owned store operations
and domestic franchise operations, as summarized in the following table.
Domestic Stores First Quarter of 2003 First Quarter of 2002
--------------- --------------------- ---------------------
Domestic Company-owned stores $ 89.9 72.3% $ 89.9 72.2%
Domestic franchise 34.4 27.7 34.6 27.8
-------- ------- -------- -------
Total domestic stores revenues $124.3 100.0% $124.5 100.0%
======== ======= ======== =======
Domestic stores revenues decreased slightly in the first quarter of 2003
from the comparable period in 2002 due primarily to decreases in same store
sales at both domestic Company-owned and franchise stores, offset in part by the
timing of the Company's acquisition of 83 stores from our former franchisee in
Arizona (the "Arizona Acquisition") on February 25, 2002. Same store sales for
domestic stores decreased 1.1% in the first quarter of 2003, compared to the
same period in 2002. This decrease in same store sales was a result of a
continued weak economic climate, hesitant consumer spending and continued
competitive pressures. The Company was also cycling over a 7.6% domestic stores
same store sales increase in the comparable period in 2002. These results are
more fully described below.
Domestic Company-Owned Stores
Revenues from domestic Company-owned store operations increased slightly in
the first quarter of 2003 from the comparable period in 2002. This increase in
revenues was due primarily to the timing of the Arizona Acquisition, offset in
part by a decrease in same store sales. The financial statements include
revenues from the Arizona Acquisition for the full first quarter in 2003,
compared to a partial first quarter in 2002. There were 578 and 598 domestic
Company-owned stores in operation as of March 23, 2003 and March 24, 2002,
respectively. Same store sales for domestic Company-owned stores decreased 5.6%
in the first quarter of 2003, compared to the same period in 2002.
8
Domestic Franchise
Revenues from domestic franchise operations decreased slightly in the first
quarter of 2003 from the comparable period in 2002. This decrease in revenues
was due primarily to a decrease in same store sales offset in part by a slight
increase in the average number of domestic franchise stores open during 2003.
Same store sales for domestic franchise stores decreased 0.4% in the first
quarter of 2003, compared to the same period in 2002. There were 4,274 and 4,212
domestic franchise stores in operation as of March 23, 2003 and March 24, 2002,
respectively.
Domestic Distribution
Revenues from domestic distribution operations increased $1.7 million or
1.0% to $167.4 million in the first quarter of 2003, from $165.7 million in the
comparable period in 2002. This increase in revenues was due primarily to an
increase in volumes, offset in part by a market decrease in overall food basket
prices, including lower cheese prices. The cheese block price per pound averaged
$1.12 in the first quarter of 2003, compared to $1.26 in the comparable period
in 2002.
International
Revenues from international operations increased $2.6 million or 14.7% to
$20.5 million in the first quarter of 2003, from $17.8 million in the comparable
period in 2002. This increase in revenues was due primarily to increases in same
store sales and in the average number of international stores open during 2003.
On a constant dollar basis, same store sales increased 4.4% in the first quarter
of 2003, compared to the same period in 2002. On a historical dollar basis, same
store sales increased 6.7% in the first quarter of 2003, compared to the same
period in 2002. The first quarter figures indicate that the U.S. Dollar was
generally weaker against the currencies of those countries in which we compete
as compared to the same period in 2002. There were 2,401 and 2,266 international
stores in operation as of March 23, 2003 and March 24, 2002, respectively.
Cost of Sales / Operating Margin
The consolidated operating margin, which we define as revenues less cost of
sales, decreased $0.5 million or 0.6% to $82.2 million in the first quarter of
2003, from $82.7 million in the comparable period in 2002, as summarized in the
following table.
First Quarter of 2003 First Quarter of 2002
--------------------- ---------------------
Revenues $312.3 100.0% $308.1 100.0%
Cost of sales 230.1 73.7 225.3 73.1
-------- -------- -------- --------
Operating margin $ 82.2 26.3% $ 82.7 26.9%
======== ======== ======== ========
Consolidated cost of sales is comprised primarily of Company-owned store
and domestic distribution costs incurred to generate revenues. Components of
consolidated cost of sales primarily include food, labor and occupancy costs.
Consolidated cost of sales increased $4.7 million or 2.1% to $230.1 million
in the first quarter of 2003, from $225.3 million in the comparable period in
2002. This increase in consolidated cost of sales was driven primarily by cost
of sales changes at domestic Company-owned stores and domestic distribution, as
more fully described below.
Domestic Company-Owned Stores
The domestic Company-owned store operating margin decreased $3.6 million or
15.8% to $18.9 million in the first quarter of 2003, from $22.5 million in the
comparable period in 2002, as summarized in the following table.
Domestic Company-Owned Stores First Quarter of 2003 First Quarter of 2002
----------------------------- --------------------- ---------------------
Revenues $89.9 100.0% $89.9 100.0%
Cost of sales 71.0 78.9 67.4 75.0
--------- ------ -------- -------
Store operating margin $18.9 21.1% $22.5 25.0%
========= ====== ======== =======
9
Cost of sales increased as a percentage of store revenues in the first
quarter of 2003, compared to the comparable period in 2002 due primarily to
increases in food, labor and occupancy costs. As a percentage of store revenues,
food costs increased 1.3% to 27.0% in the first quarter of 2003, from 25.7% in
the comparable period in 2002. This increase in food costs as a percentage of
store revenues was due primarily to a change in product mix per order as a
result of aggressive promotions and new product introductions, offset in part by
a market decrease in overall food prices, including cheese. As a percentage of
store revenues, labor costs increased 1.0% to 30.5% in the first quarter of
2003, from 29.5% in the comparable period in 2002, reflecting the impact of
decreased same store sales and increased average wage rates at our stores. As a
percentage of store revenues, occupancy costs, which include rent, telephone,
utilities and other related costs, increased 1.5% to 9.9% in the first quarter
of 2003, from 8.4% in the comparable period in 2002. This increase in occupancy
costs was due primarily to increases in rents and other related costs.
Domestic Distribution
The domestic distribution operating margin increased $2.2 million or 12.1%
to $19.7 million in the first quarter of 2003, from $17.5 million in the
comparable period in 2002, as summarized in the following table.
Domestic Distribution First Quarter of 2003 First Quarter of 2002
--------------------- --------------------- ---------------------
Revenues $167.4 100.0% $165.7 100.0%
Cost of sales 147.7 88.2 148.2 89.4
-------- ------- -------- -------
Distribution operating margin $ 19.7 11.8% $ 17.5 10.6%
======== ======= ======== =======
Cost of sales as a percentage of distribution revenues was positively
impacted by increases in volumes, efficiencies in the areas of operations and
purchasing as well as reductions in certain commodity prices, including cheese.
Reductions in certain food prices have a positive effect on the distribution
operating margin as a percentage of distribution revenues due to the fixed
dollar margin earned by domestic distribution on sales of certain food items,
including cheese. Had cheese prices remained constant with the first quarter of
2002 levels, the domestic distribution operating margin would have decreased to
approximately 11.5% of distribution revenues or 0.3% less than reported amounts.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased $3.3 million or 7.5% to $40.9
million in the first quarter of 2003, from $44.2 million in the comparable
period in 2002. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative
expenses decreased 1.2% to 13.1% in the first quarter of 2003, from 14.3% in the
comparable period in 2002. This improvement in general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of revenues was due primarily to management's continued
focus on controlling overhead costs, including a decrease in administrative
labor, and a decrease in depreciation and amortization. These improvements were
offset in part by a $1.5 million increase in loss on debt extinguishments
relating to the Company's retirement of $20.5 million of outstanding senior
subordinated notes during the first quarter of 2003.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased $1.2 million or 8.8% to $12.3 million in the
first quarter of 2003, from $13.5 million in the comparable period in 2002. This
decrease in interest expense was due primarily to a decrease in related variable
interest rates on our senior credit facility borrowings and reduced debt levels.
The Company repaid $20.5 million of debt in the first quarter of 2003, compared
to $14.5 million in the comparable period in 2002.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes increased $1.4 million to $10.8 million in the
first quarter of 2003, from $9.3 million in the comparable period in 2002. This
increase was due primarily to an increase in pre-tax income.
10
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had negative working capital of $6.3 million and cash and cash
equivalents of $30.2 million at March 23, 2003. Historically, we have operated
with minimal or negative working capital primarily because our receivable
collection periods and inventory turn rates are faster than the normal payment
terms on our current liabilities. In addition, our sales are not typically
seasonal, which further limits our working capital requirements. Our primary
sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and availability of
borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We expect to fund planned
capital expenditures and debt repayments from these sources.
As of March 23, 2003, we had $581.5 million of long-term debt, of which
$3.7 million was classified as a current liability. There were no borrowings
under our $100 million revolving credit facility. Letters of credit issued under
the revolving credit facility were $19.9 million. Borrowings under the revolving
credit facility are available to fund our working capital requirements, capital
expenditures and other general corporate purposes.
Cash provided by operating activities was $32.6 million and $22.5 million
in the first quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively. The $10.1 million increase
was due primarily to a $7.6 million increase in the net change in operating
assets and liabilities and a $2.4 million increase in net income.
Cash used in investing activities was $4.2 million and $43.9 million in the
first quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively. The $39.7 million decrease was due
primarily to a $21.9 million decrease in acquisitions of franchise operations
and a $12.5 million decrease in capital expenditures. The decrease in
acquisitions of franchise operations is due primarily to the Arizona Acquisition
in the first quarter of 2002.
Cash used in financing activities was $20.6 million and $24.5 million in
the first quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively. The $3.8 million decrease was
due primarily to a $9.9 million decrease in distributions to Parent primarily
relating to the Arizona Acquisition, offset in part by a $6.0 million increase
in repayments of long-term debt. The Company retired $20.5 million of
outstanding senior subordinated notes during the first quarter of 2003, using
cash generated from operations.
Based upon the current level of operations and anticipated growth, we
believe that the cash generated from operations and amounts available under the
revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet our anticipated debt service
requirements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for the next
several years. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will
generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be
available under the senior credit facility or through other sources to enable us
to service our indebtedness, including the senior credit facility and the senior
subordinated notes, or to make anticipated capital expenditures. Our future
operating performance and our ability to service or refinance the senior
subordinated notes and to service, extend or refinance the senior credit
facility will be subject to future economic conditions and subject to financial,
business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Additionally,
the Company may be requested to provide funds to TISM, Inc., our parent company
("TISM"), for stock dividends, stock repurchases, distributions and/or other
cash needs of TISM.
New Accounting Pronouncements
During the first quarter of 2003, the Company adopted Financial
Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees
of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). The adoption of FIN 45 did not have
a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial
condition.
11
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this filing relating to capital spending
levels and the adequacy of our capital resources are forward-looking. Also,
statements that contain words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates,"
"intends," "estimates" or similar expressions are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Among these risks and uncertainties are competitive
factors, increases in our operating costs, ability to retain our key personnel,
our substantial leverage, ability to implement our growth and cost-saving
strategies, industry trends and general economic conditions, adequacy of
insurance coverage and other factors, all of which are described in the Form
10-K for the year ended December 29, 2002 and our other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. We do not undertake to publicly update or
revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risks from interest rate changes on our
variable rate debt. Management actively monitors this exposure. The Company does
not engage in speculative transactions nor does it hold or issue financial
instruments for trading purposes.
Interest Rate Derivatives
The Company may enter into interest rate swaps, collars or similar
instruments with the objective of reducing volatility relating to our borrowing
costs.
The Company is party to into an interest rate collar and four interest rate
swap agreements which effectively convert the variable Eurodollar component of
the effective interest rate on a portion of the Company's debt under its senior
credit facility to various fixed rates over various terms. These agreements are
summarized as follows:
Total
Derivative Notional Amount Term Rate
---------------------- --------------- -------------------------------- -----------------
Interest Rate Collar $70.0 million June 2001 - June 2003 3.86% - Floor
6.00% - Ceiling
Interest Rate Swap $70.0 million June 2001 - June 2004 4.90%
Interest Rate Swap $35.0 million September 2001 - September 2003 3.645%
Interest Rate Swap $35.0 million September 2001 - September 2004 3.69%
Interest Rate Swap $75.0 million August 2002 - June 2005 3.25%
Interest Rate Risk
The Company's variable interest expense is sensitive to changes in the
general level of interest rates. As of March 23, 2003, a portion of the
Company's debt is borrowed at Eurodollar rates plus a blended margin rate of
2.25%. As of March 23, 2003, the weighted average interest rate on our $78.2
million of variable interest debt was 3.65%.
The Company had total interest expense of approximately $12.3 million in
the first quarter of 2003. The estimated increase in interest expense from a
hypothetical 200 basis point adverse change in applicable variable interest
rates would be approximately $0.4 million.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
a. Within 90 days prior to the date of the filing of this report, the
Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-14
and 15d-14. Based upon that evaluation such officers concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information
is gathered, analyzed and disclosed on a timely basis.
b. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls
or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls
subsequent to the date of the evaluation referred to above.
