Stephen Hemsley, Chief Executive of Domino's Pizza UK & IRL plc, commented:
'The focus of your Group in the first twenty-six weeks of 2006 has continued to
be the roll-out of the Domino's Pizza system in the UK and Ireland. This has
seen us further extend our market leadership in the fast-growing pizza delivery
segment both in terms of the number of stores and total system sales. Five of
the top ten most successful Domino's Pizza stores in the world, as measured by
system sales performance, are now within the markets we manage.
'Like-for-like sales in the 357 mature stores grew by 8.3% and e-commerce
channels continue to perform very well. The strong cash generation of your
Group, and the anticipated completion of a capital re-organisation, should allow
for further share buy-backs in the second half. We are confident that earnings
will meet market expectations for the year.'

CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S STATEMENT
Introduction
The focus of your Group in the first twenty-six weeks of 2006 has continued to
be the roll-out of the Domino's Pizza system in the UK and Ireland. This has
seen us further extend our market leadership in the fast-growing pizza delivery
segment both in terms of the number of stores and total system sales.
System sales, which are the sales of all stores in the Domino's system in the UK
and Republic of Ireland, grew strongly in the period driven by 21 new store
openings, strong advertising campaigns financed by additional contributions from
our franchisees and the World Cup at the end of the period. Your Group is
pleased to report that five of the top ten most successful Domino's Pizza stores
in the world, as measured by system sales performance, are within the markets we
manage.
This very impressive record can only be achieved if our stores - and the
franchisees and team members who own and operate them - consistently fulfil our
brand's promise to customers. We, therefore, aim for growth that is coupled with
continuous focus on our operational standards. Accordingly, as your Group
invests in expansion, equal vigour is being directed at making improvements to
our already high in-store standards.
I am encouraged to see that the additional resource we have put into providing
more operational support to franchisees and stores is having positive results so
quickly. This is a big investment for your Group but one that is essential if we
are to build a respected system of 1,000 stores in partnership with our
franchisees.
We firmly believe that by remaining focussed on the detail of our growing
business we will unlock significant further potential.
Sales
System sales rose by 18.3% to £114.8m (2005: £97.1m) in the twenty-six weeks
ended 2 July 2006. Like-for-like sales in the 357 mature stores grew by 8.3%
(2005: 8.4% in 317 stores).
In the period, four highly effective campaigns, funded by the National
Advertising Fund ('NAF'), have succeeded in driving system sales. One of these
campaigns involved the launch of our first Simpsons-branded pizza, the Ay
Carumba Fajita pizza, which was the first outcome of our two-year licensing
arrangement with the TV show. This campaign was swiftly followed by the launch
of the Football Fanatic pizza, promoted by a TV advertisement featuring Michael
Owen. This enhanced advertising activity was made possible by our franchisees'
agreement to increase their contributions to the NAF from 4% to 5% of their
system sales.
As anticipated, the World Cup had a positive impact despite most of the
tournament coinciding with the first spell of very hot weather which would
normally depress our system sales.
E-commerce generated another record contribution to system sales in the first
half, accounting for 12.3% of total UK delivered pizza sales (2005: 10.6%).
Sales via e-commerce channels were up 46.9% over last year (2005: 64.0%). A
significant milestone was achieved in the first half when over £100,000 of
online sales were transacted in a single night for the first time since the
platform launched in 1999. Research predicts that by 2010 a fifth of our
delivered pizza sales will be generated via e-commerce platforms. If this can be
achieved, economies of scale in the cost of order-taking at store level should
improve franchisee profitability as these web-generated orders go straight into
the stores' ordering systems.
As mentioned above, today's challenge is that of growth with continuing
improvement. The work we are undertaking to further improve standards, led by
Chief Operating Officer Chris Moore, has had a measurable impact on system sales
growth and, in turn, has influenced existing franchisees to expand. In the first
half, we presented all stores with a challenge to raise already high product,
service and image standards with the effect that the most significant sales
improvements were achieved in stores that had the greatest improvements in
service times. We are encouraged by these initial results and intend to continue
to incentivise franchisees to keep focussed on service improvements.
System Expansion
During the first twenty-six weeks of 2006, 21 new stores were opened (2005: 23
stores). Whilst marginally below our target we remain on track for a total of 50
new openings in total for the year provided we can secure the necessary planning
consents. The changes to the planning regime resulting from the introduction of
the A5 category continue to present challenges and uncertainty over the timing
of new openings. To address this, further resources will be committed to this
area. There were no store closures in the period (2005: nil). As a result, the
store count at 2 July 2006 was 428 (2005: 380 stores).
Continued expansion through partnership with our high calibre franchisees, who
are close to their local markets, continues to be the most successful means of
growing the Domino's Pizza system in the UK and Ireland. As a result, the first
half of the year saw your Group dispose of two corporately-owned stores. Plans
are well-progressed to dispose of the remaining corporate stores.
In the first half, 76% of new store openings were with existing franchisees,
underlining our strategy of managing the number of franchisees in the system.
Each franchisee now has an average of 2.78 stores (2005: 2.75) and this is
expected to increase in the second half of the year. By encouraging our leading
franchisees to open additional stores, we will be able to improve standards and
manage both our cost base and resultant operational gearing as we move towards
our goal of 1,000 stores.
New store openings since the start of the year extended our presence
predominantly in regions outside the South East of England and included three
openings in the Republic of Ireland and six in the North of England.
Trading Results
Group turnover, which includes sales generated from royalties, fees, food sales
and rental income as well as a small element of turnover from corporately-owned
and operated stores, grew by 11.4% to £45.1m (2005: £40.5m). Group turnover was
moderated by the sale of 13 corporate stores into the franchise system in June
last year which contributed £2.8m towards turnover in the first half of 2005.
Group operating profit, before the accelerated LTIP charge and the exceptional
profit resulting from the sale of corporate stores, was up 24.5% to £6.3m (2005:
£5.1m). In 2005 an accelerated FRS 20 charge of £0.3m relating to the early
vesting of the Long Term Incentive Plan was incurred. This was offset in that
period by an exceptional profit of £0.8m from the sale of a number of corporate
stores. Unadjusted group operating profit of £6.3m (2005: £4.8m) increased by
32.6%.
Economies of scale in both the commissary and central overheads continue to
allow us to grow profits at a faster rate than the 18.3% increase in system
sales despite the annualised effect of the additional operations costs taken on
during 2005.
The strategic objective of opening more new stores with an increasing proportion
of existing franchisees will, as mentioned earlier, assist in keeping our cost
base under control as we grow however, in the short term, this will generate
lower fee income.
The commissary rebate scheme, launched last year to help our franchisees
overcome the burden of new external cost pressures, continued in the first half
of 2006. This scheme enhances the profitability of franchisees who achieve
enhanced like-for-like sales targets and fully comply with all our standards.
The cost of this rebate, whilst higher than budgeted in the first half of 2006
due to stronger than expected like-for-like sales increases, was £0.3m (2005:
£0.2m).
Profit before tax and the accelerated LTIP charge of £0.3m and exceptional
profit on sale of corporate stores of £0.8m, was up 24.5% to £6.3m (2005:
£5.0m). Unadjusted profit before tax was £6.3m (2005: £5.5m), an increase of
13.4%. The tax rate of 27% (2005: 26%) is lower than the statutory Corporation
tax rate primarily due to the tax relief available on the exercise of share
options but marginally higher than 2005 due to the tax relief on the profit from
the sale of corporate stores last year.
Profit after tax before the accelerated LTIP charge and the exceptional gain
noted above was up 28.6% to £4.6m (2005: £3.6m).
Earnings per share and dividend
Basic earnings per share before the accelerated LTIP charge of £0.3m and
exceptional profit on sale of corporate stores of £0.8m were up 31.2% to 9.18
pence (2005: 7.00 pence). Diluted earnings per share before the accelerated LTIP
charge of £0.3m and exceptional profit on sale of corporate stores of £0.8m
increased by 27.7% to 8.77 pence (2005: 6.87 pence).
Unadjusted basic earnings per share were up 15.2% to 9.18 pence (2005: 7.97
pence) and diluted earnings per share were up 12.1% to 8.77 pence (2005: 7.82
pence).
In line with our strategy of returning cash not required for the growth and
expansion of the business to shareholders, we are pleased to declare an increase
of 33.9% in the interim dividend to 4.15 pence per share (2005: 3.10 pence per
share). This dividend will be paid on 31 August 2006 to shareholders on the
register on 4 August 2006.
Cash Flow & Balance Sheet
Our cash position remains strong, with operating activities generating net cash
of £7.3m (2005: £4.0m).
In the first twenty-six weeks of the year, options over 219,000 shares were
exercised generating a cash inflow of £0.3m (2005: £0.3m). During the period,
the Group did not purchase any of its own shares (2005: 400,000 shares at a cost
of £1.1m). We are currently proceeding with the necessary capital
re-organisation to enable the Group to have sufficient distributable reserves to
facilitate further share buy-backs. If this scheme is approved, these buybacks
should take place in the second half.
The Group continues to provide franchisees with leasing facilities for new
equipment and refits through its wholly owned subsidiary DP Capital Limited. In
the first twenty-six weeks of the year, new advances of debt facilities of £1.0m
were made available to DP Capital Limited which were matched by similar
repayments resulting in borrowings of £2.7m (2005: £2.6m) at the half year.
As at 2 July 2006, the Group had cash-in-hand of £8.6m (2005: £8.5m), which
taken together with the leasing borrowings noted above and the Employee Benefit
Trust ('EBT') loan of £7.5m (2005: £6.4m), gave consolidated net borrowings of
£1.6m (2005: £0.5m). After the deduction of the cost of the shares held in the
EBT, shareholders' funds were £15.1m (2005: £17.1m), resulting in a gearing
ratio of 10.6% (2005: 3.1%).
Board Composition
Michael Shallow and Dianne Thompson CBE joined the Board as Non-Executive
Directors on 5 January and 22 February respectively. We welcome both to the
Board which now benefits from an equal proportion of Non-Executive Directors and
Executive Directors.
Outlook
As outlined at our Annual General Meeting, we anticipate that like-for-like
sales growth in the second half will be more modest than the increases achieved
year-to-date given the demanding comparatives with which we are faced. However,
as is our normal pattern, new store openings will accelerate in the second half
generating increased system sales and fee income. The strong cash generation of
your Group, and the anticipated completion of a capital re-organisation, should
allow for further share buy-backs in the second half. We are confident that
earnings will meet market expectations for the year.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM REPORT
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The interim financial information has been prepared on the basis of the
accounting policies set out in the Group's statutory accounts for the
fifty-two weeks ended 1 January 2006. The taxation charge is calculated by
applying the directors' best estimate of the annual tax rate to the profit
for the period. All other accounting polices set out in the accounts for the
fifty-two weeks ended 1 January 2006 were applied for the purposes of this
statement.
Basis of consolidation
The Group accounts consolidate the accounts of Domino's Pizza UK & IRL plc
and all its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to the nearest Sunday of the
month end.
2. TURNOVER AND SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS
The principal components of turnover are royalties received, commissary and
equipment sales, sale of franchises, pizza delivery sales, rental income on
leasehold and freehold properties and finance lease interest income, stated
net of value added tax. All of the turnover is in one continuing business
segment being the development of the Domino's Pizza Franchise System and
originates in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. The directors
believe that full compliance with the requirements of SSAP 25 'Segmental
Reporting' would be seriously prejudicial to the interests of the Group as
it would require disclosure of commercially sensitive information. The
requirements of SSAP 25 with which the Group do not comply are the
disclosure of profit before interest and tax and net operating assets by
segment.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO DOMINO'S PIZZA UK & IRL PLC
Introduction
We have been instructed by the company to review the financial information for
the twenty-six weeks ended 2 July 2006, which comprises the Group Profit and
Loss Account, the Group Balance Sheet, the Group Cash Flow Statement and the
related notes 1 to 8. We have read the other information contained in the
interim report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or
material inconsistencies with the financial information.
This report is made solely to the company having regard to guidance contained in
Bulletin 1999/4 'Review of interim financial information' issued by the Auditing
Practices Board. To the fullest extent permitted by the law, we do not accept or
assume responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our work, for this
report, or for the conclusions we have formed.
Directors' responsibilities
The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is
the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors
are responsible for preparing the interim report as required by the AIM Rules
issued by the London Stock Exchange.
Review work performed
We conducted our review having regard to the guidance contained in Bulletin 2004
/1 'Review of interim financial information' and in accordance with
International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) issued by the Auditing
Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review consists principally of
making enquiries of management and applying analytical procedures to the
financial information and underlying financial data, and based thereon,
assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation have been
consistently applied, unless otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit
procedures such as tests of controls and verification of assets, liabilities and
transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in
accordance with United Kingdom Auditing Standards and therefore provides a lower
level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion
on the financial information.
Review conclusion
On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the financial information as presented for the twenty-six
weeks ended 2 July 2006.
