DP Poland is proposing a £20.5m equity raise to fund future growth which includes Domino’s Pizza Group planning to become a strategic investor (via a direct £11m subscription). Under a new leadership team, DPP has been transformed to capitalise on the market opportunity ahead. It is targeting 200 stores (vs 116 presently) by FY26 and transitioning to a capital light / franchise led model. Delivering on the plan will result in significantly higher profitability and market value. YTD trading is st

An excellent FY23 update today, and management is upbeat about 2024 prospects. LFL’s in Poland grew by a strong 20% with momentum accelerating to 27.5% in Q4. Crucially this was almost entirely volume driven, with average weekly order count up by a stellar 19% to >730. Per guidance, we make no change to our FY23 EBITDA estimate - inflection into positive profitability. We also keep FY24 numbers unchanged. The shares have had a strong run last 6m (+50%) but we remain upbeat on the back of today’s
Another positive update from DPP, reinforcing our conviction in the new CEO and direction of travel. Q3 LFL’s amounted to a strong 14% and accelerated to a standout 35% in October. Significantly, this is virtually all order-count driven and reflects favourably on the volume led strategy to drive store profitability. We make no forecast changes but view the update as supportive of our belief of a ramp up in EBITDA, FCF and transition to a franchise led model going forward. Overall, the update sho
Further positive news today - proposed appointment of a high calibre NED. Subject to normal due diligence, Stoffel Thijs is expected to join the board on 1st January 2024. This is another strong appointment and accretive to the investment case given Stoffel has 26 years of Domino’s experience via various leadership roles in different European markets. Notably, building a corporate Domino’s store base in the Netherlands, President of Domino’s France, and more recently, CEO of Domino’s Pizza in Ge
Interims show DPP is in good shape and responding positively to the new CEO’s actions. Order count is up (despite a soft macro backdrop), LFLs are strong and the proportion of stores transitioning to profitability is materially higher vs 12m ago. Strong summer trading in Poland and an easing of cost pressures underpin our decision to make no forecast changes FY23 being an inflection point in terms of moving into positive EBITDA (pre-IFRS16 basis). Overall, these interims are positive and support

Further evidence of improving fortunes at DP Poland in the form of a positive H1 trading update. LFL sales growth in the period was a strong 18%, led importantly by +11% order count. So further evidence of the new CEO executing on the top-line strategy to ultimately make the stores profitable and thus attractive to potential franchisees. The update also references easing of inflationary pressures and adding to the store footprint. We make no changes to current year forecasts but introduce FY24 e
A brief trading update from DPP today shows that the strong trading / LFL’s seen in Q1’23 has continued into April. We welcome this sustained momentum as well as further reference to inflationary costs around food and energy costs abating, albeit this is slightly tempered by no easing of labour cost pressures. Following the near end of the FY22 audit, management use today’s update to lower guidance for FY22 EBITDA. In absolute terms it amounts to a modest c.£0.6m as we lower our pre-IFRS16 EBITD
Today’s Q1 update signals a strong start to FY23 with the new CEO having a successful impact. This is best reflected in Poland LFL’s of 19.4% and Croatia 15.7% vs Q1’22. It is also encouraging to see some respite to high food cost inflation, with first signs of pressures reversing at the start of Q2. We expect good top line momentum to be sustained for the rest of FY23 but pull back our EBITDA forecast to better reflect a one-off TV campaign to support market share gains and a higher cost base e
The YE update shows that strong LFL and operational momentum was sustained in H2. Overall FY22 system sales grew by 20% and LFLs by 21%, led by volume/mix as the new CEOs actions begin to take effect. We make no forecast changes, but the positive H2 profitability trend cited is an important inflection point in the context of DPP now moving to sustainable profits. A well-capitalised balance sheet also means expansion is firmly on the agenda. The key point is that international evidence shows once
Interims show DPP has executed strongly in H1 (LFL sales +24%) and managed a tricky inflationary environment. The new CEO is already having a positive influence with LFL’s accelerating over July/Aug to >30% led by >15% volume growth. The upcoming FIFA World Cup is expected to be an added stimulus. Like many Leisure stocks, we temper FY22/FY23 EBITDA by £1.3m/£0.4m to reflect cost headwinds but also a conscious management decision to prioritise sales/market share growth. This should not detract f

At its FY23 results in June 2023, G4M announced its intention to focus on product margins, overhead cost reduction, and efficiency ahead of revenue growth, along with further net debt reduction, in FY24. The FY24 year-end trading update confirms G4M has delivered on these rebalanced priorities, with gross margin rising and net debt almost halving compared with FY23. Cost savings achieved in FY24 and the continued development of higher-margin categories should deliver further upside in FY25E.

Borussia Dortmund’s progress to the semi-final of the Champions League brings a further upgrade to profit guidance for FY24.
