on the retirement of Chris Moore at the year end.
Lance Batchelor, Chief Executive, commented: "We are very
pleased to be showing good like-for-like sales growth for the
year - especially against a tough comparative and the 2.5%
VAT rise at the start of 2011. Domino's is a robust business
with strong cash generation and, although the general economy
is challenging, we have grown sales and opened a record
number of new stores.
"As I take over as Chief Executive, I come into the new year
with confidence and optimism and will continue the growth of
the business through our strong tradition of innovation, with
new products and new locations. In addition, we are making
good progress in our first German stores, gaining familiarity
with consumer preferences and the logistics of operating in
an exciting new market.
"I am delighted to announce that the Company will deliver
full year 2011 profits in line with current City consensus
forecasts. We will update the market further on 15 February
2012 with the publication of the Company's preliminary
results."
