Domino's Pizza Enterprises Ltd (ASX: DMP)
Changes to its financial reporting for FY 20:
Domino's Pizza Enterprises Ltd that operates one of the biggest pizza chains in Australia, on 6 December 2019 announced that it would be making a few changes in its financial reporting from this Financial Year effective from 01 July 2019.
Due to this, there will be a change to the food warehouse and distribution arrangements in Australia/New Zealand (ANZ region), that is expected to have greater control and visibility of the supply chain, which is projected to bring ANZ in line with other regions.
The change will lead to the segmentation of costs related to Global Functions and corporate overheads. However, the company has assured that the changes will bring no effect to the previous FY20 Leasing Guidance, or the 3-5-year outlook.
Moreover, on the back of this change, revenue is projected to increase by the range between approximately $260m - $300m in ANZ for fiscal 2020 and the Cost of Goods is projected to increase by an amount equal to the increase in revenue but there will be no change to EBITDA.
In addition, more than 80% of the new stores will open in Japan and Europe over the next ten years and due to expansion of international portfolio of businesses, it is expected that more Global Functions will be situated outside of Australia.
On the other hand, for the period of 3 to 5 years, the company expects annual sales growth to be 3% to 6%, annual store growth to be 7% to 9% and annual net capex to be in the range of $60-$100 million.

The company is expecting underlying PBT to be in the range of $310 million and $350 million for the full year. The midpoint of this range $330million, reflects a 3.8% decline on the $343.1million underlying FY19 result.
The performance for the first half is expected to weak due to reduced net interest income, increase in consultancy costs and poor trading results in the Global Touring businesses. The guidance reflects that the company will heavily depend upon the second half of the year. This can be achieved if the company faces like-for-like trading conditions from late in the second quarter, the recently increased ownership of both 3Mundi and LDV, and the Casto business, starts giving more profit to the group, some world problems like Brexit resolves.
