As American restaurants struggle with weaker consumer spending, companies with large markets outside of the U.S., such as Domino’s Pizza could stay more resilient. Part of the per-share earnings growth was due to share repurchases during the past four quarters, according to the company. Domino’s first-quarter revenue growth was primarily driven by higher franchise advertising revenues in the U.S., higher supply chain revenues spurred by franchisees who purchase food ingredients and other supplies from the chain, and higher international franchise royalties and fees, thanks to franchised stores’ strong performance in the global market.
