MORE OPTIONS, IMPROVED QUALITY & GREATER VALUE
The journey to improve our ingredients and raise the quality o all o our products is wellunderway, but 2009-10 presented us with a bigger road map to navigate.
While we will always have pizza sauce running through our veins, we made a bold decisionto introduce new categories to our menu to ensure we continue to oer our customers whatthey want rom us.
With this in mind, we explored avenues in our business where we werent maximising
the potential. The rst area was the lunch part o our business in Australia and NewZealand. With the majority o our stores open during lunchtime, this was a huge windowo opportunity or us, however, we realised pizza isnt necessarily the rst choice or ourcustomers at lunchtime. Ater months o development, testing and trials we launched ourOven Baked Sandwiches, with seven resh made-to-order varieties.
The Oven Baked Sandwiches added a new layer to our business during the day and mostimportantly gave customers another reason to choose Dominos at lunchtime.
Our next menu addition was one o the most challenging launches Dominos had everundertaken in Australia.The Dominos Good Choice Range was launched in collaborationwith the popular reality TV show The Biggest Loser and their trainer Shannan Ponton. Therange included seven nutritious, calorie-controlled meals that catered to a variety o tastes.
Unlike our regular pizza menu, the Good Choice Range oers individual-sized portions opizza, pasta, Oven Baked Sandwiches, salads and sides.
To round o the year, Dominos took the bold step o changing a 50-year pizza sauce recipe.By overhauling the tomato sauce we were in act changing the taste o nearly all our pizzas,but we knew it was the right thing to do.
This was no gimmick, but a strategic decision to take our pizzas to a new level o taste andenjoyment. With 40% more herbs, tastier tomatoes and a little zing the new sauce delivers abetter product or our customers.
Thinking outside the box and exploring new opportunities within the pizza business was
the challenge Dominos Pizza set itsel at the beginning o 2009-10. Our growth would
not be sustainable i we didnt continue to innovate or improve our business or the
benet o our customers. We tackled this challenge head-on during the year and the
results show our determination successully translated into a solid perormance
or Dominos Pizza.
The Groups prot results were Net Prot Ater Tax (NPAT) up 16% on the previous
year to $17.8 million. This solid result took the Companys NPAT annual growth rateover the last three nancial years to a remarkable 25.1% (CAGR).
This years prot was generated rom Network Same Store Sales growth o 2.8% which
was the result o strong promotional success in both our European and Australian/
New Zealand markets.
The launch o our new lunchtime Oven Baked Sandwiches and our Good Choice
Range in Australia helped deliver Network Sales growth o 5.6% in Australia and New
Zealand. Europe also experienced solid growth up 14.3% on 2008-09.
In Australia and New Zealand we recorded strong Same Store Sales (SSS) o +3.23%,
a good result given we were rolling over a strong year in 2009 ollowing the new menu
launch. In Australia our continued ocus on the online side o our business also
contributed to these results.
In Europe, Same Store Sales recovered strongly in the second hal o the year up
+3.68% to nish the 2010 ull year with growth o +1.75%, despite the impact o
unusual weather conditions in The Netherlands in particular.
We also reported strong EBITDA o $32.5 million, up 15.1% on ull year 2008-09
despite challenging European trading conditions and FX impacts during the year.
As a result o three years o strong earnings and a solid balance sheet with a surplus o
cash and a positive net debt position, we were pleased to announce to Shareholders a
nal ully-ranked divided o 11.8 cents which included a special one-o divided o 3.4
cents. This brought the total ull year dividend to 17.8 cents per share.
Other highlights or 2009-10 include our achievements in online ordering, with the
launch o our highly-successul iPhone app in November 2009.
EUROPEAN GROWTH
Our European Market provides great opportunity or Dominos Pizza and during
2009-10 we reached milestones in our quest to grow the business in France,
Belgium and The Netherlands.
In December 2009, Dominos Pizza acquired A Pizza Company in Belgium with
15 stores. For us, this was a signicant step orward towards a greater presence
in the market and delivering greater scale or our brand.
The unveiling o our new commissary in The Netherlands coincided with our
300th European store opening, both exciting achievements or
Dominos Pizza in Europe.
Our growth plans or these countries continues to be a ocus and we are looking
orward to expanding our store count to more than 1,000.

LEADER IN DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY
Dominos has always prided itsel on being an innovator and early adopter o newechnology and 2009-10 was no dierent.
The launch o our iPhone Application (App) in November 2009 was a way or us toake pizza ordering to a new level and give customers the chance to order anywhere,anytime rom the palm o their hand.
The iPhone App is like having a Dominos Pizza store in your pocket, rom browsing
he menu, to selecting new oers or arranging a timed order or dinner. Weve givencustomers the reedom to order their way and it proved successul immediately.
Results have ar exceeded original expectations with more than $2 million worth osales coming rom the iPhone within the rst three months. Today, the Dominos iPhone
App has been downloaded more than 350,000 times.
As well as growing sales and orders through digital, we also wanted to step up and benvolved with the online community. Social Media plays a key role in many businesseshese days and this couldnt be more truthul or a business such as ours. With tech-savvy customers and team members our involvement in Facebook, Twitter and Youtube
plays a key role in our customer relationship management.
OUR PEOPLE PASSION
A ocus on team member appointment, development and training during 2009-10
was vital to ensure our strategic direction was implemented seamlessly at a storeand operational level.
We continue to improve our DOTTI ( Dominos Online Training and Tracking Initiative)program which is used to provide Dominos team members with access to trainingclasses, training tools and general educational inormation and alerts. A central
raining initiative allows or all team members to be trained eectively and ecientlyacross all stores.
At a management level, we announced the return o Andrew Rennie to Australia to takeup the newly-created position o Chie Operating Ocer (COO).
Andrews role as COO will be to oversee Operations (ranchise and corporate),
Development and Marketing. As we continue to ocus on improving our operations,
Andrews wealth o knowledge in this area, coupled with new learning rom his role asPresident France, will bring a new dimension to our business.
Melanie Gigon has been appointed as the new President France, a key step orward orour growth in the country. Melanie has built strong relationships with ranchisees over
he last 10 years in her role as Marketing Director. She was also a driving orce behindkey marketing initiatives which have helped Dominos become the most recognisedakeaway pizza brand in France.
Dominos Group Chie Financial Ocer, Richard Coney, also added Purchasing andLogistics to his portolio o IT, Legal and Finance. The service, governance and supply
o our business are now managed cohesively.
Dominos growth and success would not be achievable without our talented group oranchisees and team members who work across our ve countries.
We welcomed many new store owners to our business during 2009-10 and their
passion to succeed as Dominos ranchisees means we can continue to provide thebest product, service and image or our customers.
Franchise development plays a pivotal role in attracting new people into our business
and this area o Dominos will grow signicantly as we continue to open more stores.
Our ranchisees are at the heart and soul o Dominos and we are committedto continually ostering strong relationships with new, existing and potentialranchisees to help drive our uture direction across Australia, New Zealand,France, Belgium and The Netherlands.
STORE DESIGN
A new Dominos Pizza store design was also launched this year. The design brings thepizza making to the ront o the store, directly in ront o customers.
In Australia, the new design is now in Applecross (Western Australia), Spring Hill(Queensland) and North Tamworth (New South Wales).
While over in The Netherlands, Heerenveen is our rst European store to refectthis concept.
With so many new ingredients on our menu we wanted customers to see the
improvements. Customers can now watch as their pizza is made resh in ront o them.
The contemporary design also includes more customer seating and the Spring Hill storeeven oers ree Wi-Fi internet access.
TOWARDS THE FUTURE
The past 12 months has seen Dominos expand our oering to customers, grow ourpresence in our markets and embrace technology. Getting back to the basics andocusing on improving our operations is the next step or us moving orward.
Success can not be achieved without challenges, but Im condent we have the rightpeople, the right ocus and the right direction to ensure Dominos Pizza can continue torecord strong results year on year.
During 2010-11 we plan to open 50 to 60 new stores, again with the majority o these
in Europe as we grow this area o Dominos Pizza.
We are condent o continuing the current momentum we are experiencing and weexpect to deliver a NPAT between 10-15% above 2010.
On an operational level, new initiatives will be introduced and we are looking orward tore-energising this important area o our business.
Digital will again play a undamental role in keeping up to speed with ourtechnologically based world. Our goal is to achieve 50% o sales online within threeyears and the next step in embracing this potential will be the launch o our neweStore beore Christmas 2010.
Finally, 2009-10 was a huge year or Dominos Pizza and I would like to congratulate

GOOD CHOICE RANGE
We started the New Year with another huge promotion in our Good Choice Range.Teaming up with popular reality TV show The Biggest Loser and their trainer Shannan
Ponton, we launched our Good Choice Range, consisting o seven nutrition conscious,calorie-controlled meals.
In launching our Good Choice Range, we undertook extensive customer research to
explore the eating and exercise habits o Australians. The results provided us with a
antastic insight into the reasons why people nd it hard to incorporate healthy eating intotheir busy liestyles.

The Dominos Good Choice Range is now part o our permanent menu and since the
launch we have introduced the new Prawn and Spinach Ciabatta style pizza to the range.
We have been making signicant changes to our business over the past 18 months.We started this journey with our biggest menu launch in February last year and this year
we have continued to strive to be the customers champion by listening and responding to
what our customers have told us and asked or.
Pushing the boundaries and stepping outside the (pizza) box has seen Dominos move into
a new era, taking the Australian pizza category with it.
In the past 12 months we have dramatically increased the quality o our ingredients, added
signicantly more choice to our menu, and added two new categories in our Good ChoiceRange and Oven Baked Sandwiches.
However, we know pizza is what we do best, thats why we re-invented our amous
Supreme pizza and changed our 50-year-old tomato sauce recipe in May 2010.

In May 2010 it was time to turn our attention back to our core product - pizza. We wanted
to make a signicant improvement to the taste o our pizzas without having to reinvent
them or introduce new toppings.
To us the answer was simple, change the sauce recipe and make it taste better than ever!
Ater months o research, testing and tasting we developed a new tomato sauce with 40%
more herbs, tastier tomatoes and a little more zing.
This resulted in a major taste change to our core product and our customers couldnt behappier with pizza sales increasing and new customers coming through our doors.
NEW SUPREME
While developing our new tomato sauce we realised our Supreme pizza, once a top selling
hero on the menu, needed a rejuvenation to move with the times o our customers expectations.
With Supreme pizza sales down and our customers telling us they wanted tastier
ingredients and more o them, we knew we had to take action.
So we tried and tested new Supreme recipes until we developed one everyone loved.
The new Supreme pizza is now made with real rasher bacon, 100% Aussie ground bee
and a new tastier tomato sauce.
The Supreme is once again King o the Dominos menu, surpassing our Meatosaurus as
the number one selling pizza.
DESSERTS
Our desserts and sides continue to be an important element o our menu, providing
customer with a total meal solution.
In 2009 it was our Choc Lava Cake with its warm gooey centre which tantalised the taste
buds o pizza lovers.
This year its our very own Crme Brule Pufe, a faky pu pastry pocket lled with
deliciously warm French Vanilla custard. Baked resh in store and the perect size or one,
its too good to share.
In July 2010, the Crme Brule Pufe took out second place in the Baked Good category atthe National Food Challenge Awards.
Continuing to innovate and
mprove our menu is at
the heart and soul of our
product development.
As the leader in the pizzandustry our determination to
excel is evident in our approach
to pushing the boundaries of
our product development.
Developing the best products
possible for our customers
doesnt come without risks,
but we believe these risks are
worth taking if the end result

LIFTING OUR PRODUCT QUALITY
Our commitment to liting the taste and quality o our ingredients couldnt bestronger than it is right now.
When developing our Good Choice Range and Oven Baked Sandwiches, we
challenged ourselves to improve the quality o all ingredients across our range.
Why? We knew it was the right thing to d o and our customers would reward us or it,and they did.
All our menu items, whether it be a traditional pizza, Good Choice Range item,Pastas or lunchtime Oven Baked Sandwich are all made resh to order with premiumquality ingredients we are proud o.
Recent improvements: Realrasherbacon
Tastier100%Aussiegroundbeef
Newtomatosauce
In September 2009 we also made a commitment to reducing salt content in our
proteins, bakery and dairy ingredients by 25% over the next three years as well asreducing the saturated at content o their proteins and dairy ingredients by 15%.
This salt and saturated at content reduction is in line with the UK Food
Standard authorised level used by The Australian Division o WorldAction on Salt and Health (AWASH).
Since these targets were set in June 2009, Dominos has already reduced the salt
in its three chicken products: chicken breast, kickers and wings by 19-20% and itsbee product by 18%. These changes have already rolled out to stores.
Dominos chicken breast has had a 50% decrease in saturated at, while bee has
had a 5% reduction.
Dominos is continuing to work with suppliers to increase the quality o its productswhile decreasing the salt and saturated at in key ingredients.
