(Sharecast News) - Domino's Pizza Group reported modest growth in the first quarter on Thursday, with total system sales rising 2.1% and like-for-like sales up 0.5% year-on-year.
The FTSE 250 master franchise holder of the Domino's Pizza brand in several European territories, said total order volumes increased by 0.5%, supported by a 1.3% rise in delivery orders, as franchise partners maintained a strong operational focus.
Collection orders declined 0.9%, though the company noted an improving trend, helped by its first national campaign promoting collection.
Operational performance continued to improve, with average delivery times nearing 24 minutes and a loyalty trial generating incremental orders across customer segments.
The Crme Egg cookie limited-time offering sold out ahead of Easter.
Domino's said trading remained positive into the second quarter and reiterated its guidance for full-year underlying EBITDA to be in line with market expectations.
"Our focused operational strategy returned the Domino's system to growth in the second half of last year and growth has continued in 2025," said chief executive officer Andrew Rennie.
"During the first quarter, Domino's market share has strengthened, our franchise partners have driven further improvements in delivery times and we continue to focus on giving our customers compelling value.
"Looking ahead, whilst the market and consumer environment has become more uncertain since our FY results, we remain confident that our ongoing strategic initiatives, store opening pipeline and collaboration with our franchise partners will allow us to continue to win market share."
Rennie said the company's initial assessment of newly-introduced tariffs showed minimal direct impact.
"We continue to assess any indirect impacts on our supply chain, monitor the broader environment going forward and our full year expectations remain unchanged."
At 1024 BST, shares in Domino's Pizza Group were down 2.6% at 270.2p.
