Business Performance
In 2008, global retail sales, which are total retail sales at Company-owned and franchise stores
worldwide, increased 1.4% as compared to 2007. This increase in global retail sales was driven
by strong international same store sales growth as well as growth in worldwide store counts,
offset in part by a decrease in domestic same store sales and negative foreign currency
translation impacts on their international sales.
In 2007, global retail sales increased 6.6% as compared to 2006.This increase in global retail
sales was driven by strong international same store sales growth as well as growth in
worldwide store counts, offset in part by a decrease in domestic franchise same store sales
Revenues increased $25.6 million or 1.8% in 2007 and decreased $37.8 million or 2.6% in
2008.The increase in revenues in 2007 was largely due to higher domestic supply chain
revenues, due primarily to higher food prices, including cheese.
The decline in 2008 was due primarily to lower Company-owned store and domestic franchise
revenues, driven primarily by Company-owned store divestitures, lower same store sales and
lower volumes in our domestic supply chain operations.
Worldwide store counts have increased from 8,079 at the beginning of 2006 to 8,773 at the end
of 2008. This growth in store counts can be attributed to the growing global acceptance of the
brand and pizza delivery concept as well as the economics inherent in their system which
attracts new franchisees and encourages existing franchisees to grow business.
14
Domestic same store sales decreased 4.1%, 1.7% and 4.9% in 2006, 2007 and 2008,
respectively.
International same store sales increased 4.0%, 6.7% and 6.2% during the same periods. The
Company’s domestic same store sales results in 2006, 2007 and 2008 reflected the
underperformance of their product and promotional offerings during those years, continued
challenges in domestic business and a weak consumer environment.
Internationally, same stores sales growth continues to result from the growing acceptance of
delivered pizza around the globe and the successful execution of the concept.
It is highly leveraged primarily as a result of its recapitalization in 2007.As of December 28,
2008, consolidated long-term debt was $1.7 billion. Since 1998, a large portion of its cash
flows provided from operations has been used to make principal and interest payments on its
indebtedness as well as distributions to shareholders in the form of dividends and stock
repurchases. Its securitized debt requires no scheduled principal payments until anticipated
maturity in 2012. Overall, It believes that its ability to consistently produce significant free
cash flows allows the flexibility not only to service its significant debt but also to invest in their
growing business as well as return cash to shareholders.
