Dividend Declared

On February 14, 2018, Domino's Board of Directors declared a $0.55 per share quarterly dividend for shareholders of record as of March 15, 2018 to be paid on March 30, 2018. This represents an increase of approximately 20% over the previous quarterly dividend amount.

Domino's indicated dividend represents a yield of 0.96% compared to the average dividend yield of 1.98% for the Services sector. The Company has raised its dividend for four consecutive years.

Dividend Insight

Domino's has a dividend payout ratio of 27.7%, which means that the Company spends approximately $0.28 for dividend distribution out of every $1.00 earned. The dividend payout ratio reflects how much amount a company is returning to shareholders versus how much money it is keeping on hand to reinvest in growth, to pay off debt, and/or to add to its cash reserves.

According to analysts' estimates, Domino's is forecasted to report earnings of $9.33 for the next year, which is more than four times compared to the Company's annualized dividend of $2.20 per share.

As of December 31, 2017, Domino's had approximately $35.8 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, $3.15 billion in total debt and $128.3 million of available borrowings under its $175.0 million variable funding notes. Domino's free cash flow was approximately $249.0 million in fiscal 2017. The Company's strong financial position indicates its ability to absorb any fluctuations in earnings and cash flow and to sustain the dividend distribution for a long period.

Recent Development for Domino's

On February 27, 2018, Domino's announced that it is conducting a second round of self-driving delivery vehicle testing, with a focus on the customer experience. This two-month test in Miami, in partnership with Ford, will leverage the learnings of the first round of testing, but will add the element of delivery in a larger, urban setting. For this test, a Ford Fusion Hybrid vehicle, manually driven but outfitted to look like a self-driving vehicle, will take deliveries from a Miami Domino's store to customers who have ordered online and chosen to participate in the test.
