It's lucky 13 for Domino's Pizza franchise operator DP Poland (LON:DPP), which has notched up 13 consecutive quarters of double-digit percentage like-for-like (LFL) sales growth.
LFL system sales in 2015 were up 16% on the year before, while the LFL order count was up 14%.
The company added that 2016 has started strongly with “robust” LFL system sales growth in January of 29%.
While the top line continues to head acutely north, DPP Poland revealed that underlying earnings (EBITDA) across the estate were positive in every month of 2015.
The three most profitable company-owned (as opposed to sub-franchised) stores averaged EBITDA of £58,000 in 2015, up from £24,000 in 2014.
The company, which owns the exclusive right to develop and operate Domino's Pizza stores in Poland, now has 24 outlets in five Polish cities – Warsaw, Krakow, Wrocklaw, Gdansk and Szczecin – having opened six new outlets during 2015.
"Like-for-like sales continued to deliver double digit growth and total stores were EBITDA positive every month in 2015, a notable milestone for Domino's Pizza in Poland,” said Peter Shaw, chief executive of DP Poland.
“We now have stores in five Polish cities, further stores under construction and a pipeline for significant further openings in 2016 in new and existing cities. The contribution from our new commissary is ahead of expectations, delivering improved food costs and growing sales to sub-franchised stores,” he added.
