Domino’s Pizza has reported higher second-quarter profit and revenue, driven by strong order growth and supply-chain sales, even as same-store sales remained subdued amid a challenging consumer-spending environment.

The pizza chain posted net income of $135.8 million for the quarter ended June 14, up from $131.1 million a year earlier. Total revenue rose 4.3 per cent to $1.19 billion, supported by higher supply chain sales, franchise royalties and advertising revenue.

US same-store sales edged up 0.1 per cent, while international same-store sales, excluding foreign currency impacts, fell 0.1 per cent. Global retail sales, excluding foreign exchange effects, rose 3 per cent, and the company opened a net 209 stores worldwide during the quarter.

CEO Russell Weiner said the company delivered “meaningful order count growth” across both delivery and carryout channels, adding that increasing order volumes remains the key driver of long-term growth.

“In a quarter where the broader US QSR industry continued to face pressure on consumer demand, Domino’s generated order count growth across both our delivery and carryout businesses, bringing millions of new customers to our brand,” Weiner said. 

“These new customers strengthen our long-term growth flywheel by engaging with our loyalty program, while their orders power our supply chain business, fuel store growth, and drive market share.” 

Despite softer comparable sales, Domino’s reaffirmed its full-year 2026 outlook, forecasting low single-digit growth in both US and international same-store sales as it continues to focus on value-led offerings for budget-conscious consumers.

“My conviction in Domino’s long-term growth potential remains as strong as ever. Our scale and competitive position have never been stronger. Domino’s is uniquely positioned to continue gaining market share and delivering long-term value for shareholders,” Weiner added.
