Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited; tabular amounts in thousands, except percentages, share and per share amounts)
June 16, 2019
1. Basis of Presentation and Updates to Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q
and Rule
10-01
of Regulation
S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2018 included in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form
10-K,
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2019 (the “2018 Form
10-K”).
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Operating results for the fiscal quarter ended June 16, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 29, 2019.
Updates to Significant Accounting Policies
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification 842,
Leases
(“ASC 842”) in the first quarter of 2019. As a result, the Company updated its significant accounting policies for leases below. Refer to Note 7 for additional information related to the Company’s lease arrangements and Note 11 for the impact of the adoption of ASC 842 on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Leases
The Company leases certain retail store and supply chain center locations, supply chain vehicles and its corporate headquarters. The Company determines whether an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception. The majority of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases, which are included in operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. Finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date for leases exceeding 12 months. Minimum lease payments include only the fixed lease component of the agreement, as well as any variable rate payments that depend on an index, initially measured using the index at the lease commencement date. Lease terms may include options to renew when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.
The Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate for each lease using a portfolio approach based on the respective weighted average term of the agreements. This estimation considers the market rates of the Company’s outstanding collateralized borrowings and interpolations of rates outside of the terms of the outstanding borrowings, including comparisons to comparable borrowings of similarly-rated companies with longer term borrowings.
Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in cost of sales or general and administrative expense. Amortization expense for finance leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in cost of sales or general and administrative expense, while interest expense for finance leases is recognized using the effective interest method. Variable lease payments that do not depend on a rate or index, payments associated with
non-lease
components and short-term rentals (leases with terms less than
12
months) are expensed as incurred.

5. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements enable the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The Company classifies and discloses assets and liabilities carried at fair value in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
The fair values of the Company’s cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The following tables summarize the carrying amounts and fair values of certain assets at June 16, 2019 and December 30, 2018:

|  | At June 16, 2019 |
|  |  |  |  | Fair Value Estimated Using |
|  | Carrying |  |  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Level 3 |

Management estimated the approximate fair values of the 2015 fixed rate notes, the 2017 fixed and floating rate notes and the 2018 fixed rate notes as follows:

|  | June 16, 2019 |  |  | December 30, 2018 |
|  | Principal Amount |  |  | Fair Value |  |  | Principal Amount |  |  | Fair Value |
2015 Ten-Year Fixed Rate Notes |  | $ | 776,000 |  |  | $ | 810,920 |  |  | $ | 780,000 |  |  | $ | 783,120 |
2017 Five-Year Fixed Rate Notes |  |  | 589,500 |  |  |  | 589,500 |  |  |  | 592,500 |  |  |  | 575,910 |
2017 Ten-Year Fixed Rate Notes |  |  | 982,500 |  |  |  | 1,014,923 |  |  |  | 987,500 |  |  |  | 956,888 |
2017 Five-Year Floating Rate Notes |  |  | 294,750 |  |  |  | 294,455 |  |  |  | 296,250 |  |  |  | 295,065 |
2018 7.5-Year Fixed Rate Notes |  |  | 420,750 |  |  |  | 432,952 |  |  |  | 422,875 |  |  |  | 416,955 |
2018 9.25-Year Fixed Rate Notes |  |  | 396,000 |  |  |  | 413,820 |  |  |  | 398,000 |  |  |  | 396,010 |

At June 16, 2019, the Company did not have any outstanding borrowings under its variable funding notes. The Company had $65.0 million outstanding under its variable funding notes at December 30, 2018. Borrowings under the variable funding notes are a variable rate loan. The fair value of this loan approximated book value based on the borrowing rates currently available for variable rate loans obtained from third party lending institutions. This fair value represents a Level 2 measurement.
The fixed and floating rate notes are classified as Level 2 measurements, as the Company estimates the fair value amount by using available market information. The Company obtained quotes from two separate brokerage firms that are knowledgeable about the Company’s fixed and floating rate notes and, at times, trade these notes. The Company also performed its own internal analysis based on the information gathered from public markets, including information on notes that are similar to those of the Company. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to estimate fair value. Accordingly, the fair value estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amount that the Company or the debtholders could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair values stated above.

. Legal Matters
On February 14, 2011, Domino’s Pizza LLC was named as a defendant in a lawsuit along with Fischler Enterprises of C.F., Inc., a franchisee, and Jeffrey S. Kidd, the franchisee’s delivery driver, filed by Yvonne Wiederhold, the plaintiff, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Richard E. Wiederhold, deceased. The case involved a traffic accident in which the franchisee’s delivery driver is alleged to have caused an accident involving a vehicle driven by Richard Wiederhold. Mr. Wiederhold sustained spinal injuries resulting in quadriplegia and passed away several months after the accident. The case went to trial in 2016 and the Company was found liable, but the verdict was reversed by the Florida Fifth District Court of Appeals in May 2018 and was remanded to the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida for a new trial. The case was tried again in June 2019 and the jury returned an $9.0 million judgment for the plaintiff where the Company and Mr. Kidd were found to be 100% liable (after certain offsets and other deductions the final verdict was $8.0 million). The Company continues to deny liability and has filed post-judgment motions with the ultimate intention of filing another appeal of the verdict, if necessary.

In connection with the sale of the stores, the Company recorded a $2.4 million pre-tax loss on the sale of the related assets and liabilities, which included a $1.4 million reduction in goodwill. The loss was recorded in general and administrative expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income.
11. New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Standard
Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842)
which requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. On December 31, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective method. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.
The adoption of ASC 842 had a material impact on the Company’s assets and liabilities due to the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company elected the optional practical expedient to retain its current classification of leases, and accordingly, the adoption of ASC 842 did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Refer to Note 7 for additional disclosure related to the Company’s lease arrangements.
The effects of the changes made to the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 for the adoption of ASC 842 were as follows:

On December 31, 2018, the Company recorded an adjustment of $226.8 million for operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities. The operating lease right-of-use assets recorded on the date of adoption were also net of a $7.9 million reclassification of other accrued liabilities and prepaid expenses representing previously deferred (prepaid) rent and lease incentives. The Company also derecognized $1.9 million of construction in progress and other long-term accrued liabilities associated with a new building that will be leased to the Company upon completion in 2019. This lease was previously accounted for as a build-to-suit arrangement under prior lease accounting guidance.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
The Company has considered all new accounting standards issued by the FASB. The Company has not yet completed its assessment of the following standards.
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,
Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
(“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires companies to measure credit losses utilizing a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires a consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard but does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15,
Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract
(“ASU 2018-15”), which aligns the accounting for implementation costs of a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. ASU 2018-15 also requires companies to amortize these implementation costs over the life of the service contract in the same line in the statement of income as the fees associated with the hosting service. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard but does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Overview
Domino’s is the largest pizza company in the world based on global retail sales, with more than 16,300 locations in over 85 markets. Founded in 1960, our roots are in convenient pizza delivery, while a significant amount of our sales also come from carryout customers. Domino’s generates revenues and earnings by charging royalties and fees to our independent franchisees. The Company also generates revenues and earnings by selling food, equipment and supplies to franchisees primarily in the U.S. and Canada, and by operating a number of our own stores in the U.S. Franchisees profit by selling pizza and other complementary items to their local customers. In our international markets, we generally grant geographical rights to the Domino’s Pizza
®
brand to master franchisees. These master franchisees are charged with developing their geographical area, and they can profit by
sub-franchising
and selling ingredients and equipment to those
sub-franchisees,
as well as by running pizza stores directly. Everyone in the system can benefit, including the end consumer, who can feed their family Domino’s menu items conveniently and economically.
Our financial results are driven largely by retail sales at our franchise and Company-owned stores. Changes in retail sales are driven by changes in same store sales and store counts. We monitor both of these metrics very closely, as they directly impact our revenues and profits, and we strive to consistently increase both metrics. Retail sales drive royalty payments from franchisees, as well as Company-owned store and supply chain revenues. Retail sales are primarily impacted by the strength of the Domino’s Pizza
®
brand, the results of our extensive advertising through various media channels, the impact of technological innovation and digital ordering, our ability to execute our strong and proven business model and the overall global economic environment.

(1) | During the second quarter of 2019, the Company sold 59 U.S. Company-owned stores to certain of its existing U.S. franchisees. The same store sales growth for these stores is reflected in U.S. franchise stores in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2019.

During the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2019, we experienced global retail sales growth. Our U.S. and international same store sales growth remained positive but was pressured by our current strategy to increase store concentration in certain markets where we compete.

Table of Contents
We also continued our global expansion with the opening of 200 net new stores in the second quarter of 2019, bringing our
year-to-date
total to 400. We opened 158 net new stores internationally and 42 net new stores in the U.S. during the second quarter of 2019. Overall, we believe this global store growth, along with our strong sales, emphasis on technology, operations, and marketing initiatives, have combined to strengthen our brand.
Global retail sales, which are total worldwide retail sales at franchise and Company-owned stores, increased 5.1% in the second quarter of 2019 and increased 4.8% in the two fiscal quarters of 2019. These increases were driven by an increase in worldwide store counts during the trailing four quarters as well as U.S. and international same store sales growth. The negative impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates partially offset this increase, resulting from a generally stronger U.S. dollar when compared to the currencies in the international markets in which we compete. U.S. same store sales growth reflected the sustained positive sales trends and the continued success of our products, marketing and technology platforms. International same store sales growth also reflected continued positive performance.
Total revenues increased $32.2 million, or 4.1%, in the second quarter of 2019 and increased $82.8 million, or 5.3%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2019. These increases were due primarily to higher global retail sales, which resulted in higher supply chain and global franchise revenues. The increases in international franchise revenues were partially offset by the negative impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These increases in revenues were also partially offset by lower U.S. Company-owned store revenues resulting from the sale of 59 Company-owned stores to certain of our existing U.S. franchisees during the second quarter of 2019 (the “Second Quarter Store Sale”). These changes in revenues are described in more detail below.
Income from operations increased $12.8 million, or 10.1%, in the second quarter of 2019 and increased $22.8 million, or 8.8%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2019. These increases were primarily driven by higher royalty revenues from U.S. and international franchised stores, as well as higher supply chain margins. Higher investments in technological initiatives and other areas and a $2.4 million
pre-tax
loss related to the Second Quarter Store Sale partially offset these increases. Income from operations was also negatively impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates in the second quarter and the two fiscal quarters of 2019.
Net income increased $15.0 million, or 19.3%, in the second quarter of 2019 and increased $18.8 million, or 11.3%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2019, driven by higher income from operations and lower tax expense resulting primarily from higher excess tax benefits from equity-based compensation. Net income further benefited from lower interest expense in the second quarter of 2019 resulting from $3.3 million of incremental interest expense recorded in the second quarter of 2018 in connection with our recapitalization transaction completed on April 24, 2018 (the “2018 Recapitalization”). The increase in net income in the two fiscal quarters of 2019 was partially offset by higher interest expense resulting primarily from a higher average debt balance and a higher weighted average borrowing rate following the 2018 Recapitalization.

Revenues primarily consist of retail sales from our Company-owned stores, royalties, advertising contributions and fees from our U.S. franchised stores, royalties and fees from our international franchised stores and sales of food, equipment and supplies from our supply chain centers to all of our U.S. franchised stores and certain international franchised stores. Company-owned store, franchised store and supply chain revenues may vary from period to period due to changes in store count mix. Supply chain revenues may also vary significantly from period to period as a result of fluctuations in commodity prices as well as the mix of products we sell.

U.S. Company-Owned Stores
Revenues from U.S. Company-owned store operations decreased $13.8 million, or 11.6%, in the second quarter of 2019 and decreased $11.5 million, or 4.8%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2019 due primarily to the Second Quarter Store Sale. These decreases in revenues were partially offset by higher same store sales. Company-owned same store sales increased 2.1% in the second quarter of 2019 and increased 2.6% in the two fiscal quarters of 2019. Company-owned same store sales increased 5.1% in the second quarter of 2018 and increased 5.8% in the two fiscal quarters of 2018.
U.S. Franchise Royalties and Fees
Revenues from U.S. franchise royalties and fees increased $8.2 million, or 9.4%, in the second quarter of 2019 and increased $15.4 million, or 8.7%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2019 due primarily to higher same store sales and an increase in the average number of U.S. franchised stores open during the period due to net store growth and, to a lesser extent, the Second Quarter Store Sale. U.S. franchise same store sales increased 3.1% in the second quarter of 2019 and increased 3.5% in the two fiscal quarters of 2019. U.S. franchise same store sales increased 7.0% in the second quarter of 2018 and increased 7.7% in the two fiscal quarters of 2018.
U.S. Franchise Advertising
Revenues from U.S. franchise advertising increased $7.6 million, or 9.4%, in the second quarter of 2019 and increased $14.5 million, or 8.9%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2019 due primarily to higher same store sales and an increase in the average number of U.S. franchised stores open during the period due to net store growth and, to a lesser extent, the Second Quarter Store Sale. U.S. franchise same store sales increased 3.1% in the second quarter of 2019 and increased 3.5% in the two fiscal quarters of 2019. U.S. franchise same store sales increased 7.0% in the second quarter of 2018 and increased 7.7% in the two fiscal quarters of 2018.

U.S. Supply Chain
U.S. supply chain revenues increased $24.9 million, or 6.2%, in the second quarter of 2019 and increased $54.7 million, or 6.8%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2019. These increases were due primarily to higher volumes from increased orders resulting from an increase in the average number of U.S. franchise stores open during the period and an increase in market basket pricing. Our market basket pricing to stores increased 2.3% in the second quarter of 2019 and increased 2.0% in the two fiscal quarters of 2019, which resulted in an estimated increase in U.S. supply chain revenues of $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2019 and $11.8 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2019.
International Supply Chain
Revenues from international supply chain operations increased $1.8 million, or 4.4%, in the second quarter of 2019 and increased $4.0 million, or 4.9%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2019 due primarily to higher volumes from increased orders and an increase in market basket pricing. These increases in revenues were partially offset by the negative impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2019 and $3.8 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2019.
International Franchise Royalties and Fee Revenues
Revenues from international franchise royalties and fees increased $3.7 million, or 7.1%, in the second quarter of 2019 and increased $5.8 million, or 5.6%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2019. These increases were due primarily to an increase in the average number of international stores open during the period and higher same store sales. These increases in revenues were partially offset by the negative impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2019 and $6.6 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2019. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, international franchise same store sales increased 2.4% in the second quarter of 2019 and increased 2.1% in the two fiscal quarters of 2019. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, international franchise same store sales increased 4.0% in the second quarter of 2018 and increased 4.4% in the two fiscal quarters of 2018.

Cost of sales consists primarily of Company-owned store and supply chain costs incurred to generate related revenues. Components of consolidated cost of sales primarily include food, labor, delivery and occupancy costs.
Consolidated operating margin (which we define as revenues less cost of sales) increased $23.1 million, or 7.9%, in the second quarter of 2019 and increased $45.6 million, or 7.7%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2019 due primarily to higher global franchise revenues and higher supply chain volumes. Franchise revenues do not have a cost of sales component, so changes in these revenues have a disproportionate effect on the operating margin.
As a percentage of revenues, the consolidated operating margin increased 1.3 percentage points in the second quarter of 2019 and increased 0.9 percentage points in the two fiscal quarters of 2019. Company-owned store operating margin increased 0.9 percentage points in the second quarter of 2019 and increased 0.1 percentage points in the two fiscal quarters of 2019. Supply chain operating margin increased 0.6 percentage points in the second quarter of 2019 and increased 0.7 percentage points in the two fiscal quarters of 2019. These changes in operating margin are more fully discussed below.

The U.S. Company-owned store operating margin (which does not include certain store-level costs such as royalties and advertising) decreased $2.2 million, or 8.1%, in the second quarter of 2019 and decreased $2.5 million, or 4.4%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2019 due primarily to the Second Quarter Store Sale. Operating margin in both the second quarter and the two fiscal quarters of 2019 was also negatively impacted by higher labor costs, partially offset by higher same store sales. As a percentage of store revenues, the store operating margin increased 0.9 percentage points in the second quarter of 2019 and increased 0.1 percentage points in the two fiscal quarters of 2019. These changes in operating margin as a percentage of revenues are discussed in more detail below.

| • | Food costs decreased 0.6 percentage points to 26.9% in the second quarter of 2019 and decreased 0.4 percentage points to 27.0% in the two fiscal quarters of 2019 due primarily to the leveraging of higher same store sales and improvements in efficiency. These decreases were partially offset by higher food prices.

| • | Labor costs decreased 0.6 percentage points to 29.4% in the second quarter of 2019 and increased 0.4 percentage points to 30.2% in the two fiscal quarters of 2019. The Second Quarter Store Sale contributed to the reduction in labor costs as a percentage of store revenues in both the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2019 due to the high labor rates in the market in which the sold stores operated. These decreases were partially offset in the second quarter of 2019 and fully offset in the two fiscal quarters of 2019 by an increase in average labor rates in our remaining Company-owned store markets.

Supply Chain Operating Margin

The supply chain operating margin increased $5.9 million, or 12.5%, in the second quarter of 2019 and increased $12.2 million, or 13.0%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2019, primarily driven by higher volumes from increased orders. As a percentage of supply chain revenues, the supply chain operating margin increased 0.6 percentage points in the second quarter of 2019 and increased 0.7 percentage points in the two fiscal quarters of 2019 due primarily to procurement savings and lower insurance expense, offset in part by higher labor costs.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased $2.7 million, or 3.2%, in the second quarter of 2019 and increased $8.2 million, or 4.8%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2019, driven by continued investments in technological initiatives and other areas. A $2.4 million
pre-tax
loss related to the Second Quarter Store Sale also contributed to the increases.
U.S. Franchise Advertising Expenses
U.S. franchise advertising expenses increased $7.6 million, or 9.4%, in the second quarter of 2019 and increased $14.5 million, or 8.9%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2019 due to higher U.S. franchise advertising revenues. U.S. franchise advertising costs are accrued and expensed when the related U.S. franchise advertising revenues are recognized, as our consolidated
not-for-profit
advertising fund is obligated to expend such revenues on advertising and these revenues cannot be used for general corporate purposes.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net decreased $2.0 million, or 5.7%, in the second quarter of 2019 and increased $2.5 million, or 3.9%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2019. The decrease in interest expense, net in the second quarter of 2019 resulted from $3.3 million of incremental interest expense recorded in the second quarter of 2018 in connection with the 2018 Recapitalization. This decrease was partially offset in the second quarter of 2019 and more than offset in the two fiscal quarters of 2019 by a higher weighted average debt balance, driven primarily by higher average borrowings resulting from the 2018 Recapitalization and outstanding borrowings under our variable funding notes. A higher weighted average borrowing rate also contributed to higher interest expense during the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2019.
The Company’s weighted average borrowing rate increased to 4.1% in both the second quarter and the two fiscal quarters of 2019, from 4.0% in the second quarter of 2018 and 3.9% in the two fiscal quarters of 2018, resulting from the higher interest rates on the debt outstanding in 2019 as compared to the same periods in 2018.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes decreased $0.2 million, or 1.2%, in the second quarter of 2019 and increased $1.5 million, or 5.2%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2019. Higher
pre-tax
income contributed to higher tax expense in both the second quarter and the two fiscal quarters of 2019, but these increases were fully offset in the second quarter of 2019 and partially offset in the two fiscal quarters of 2019 by higher excess tax benefits from equity-based compensation. The effective tax rate decreased to 12.9% in the second quarter of 2019 and decreased to 14.0% in the two fiscal quarters of 2019 as compared to 15.1% in the second quarter of 2018 and 14.7% in the two fiscal quarters of 2018.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, we have operated with minimal positive working capital or negative working capital, primarily because our receivable collection periods and inventory turn rates are faster than the normal payment terms on our current liabilities. We generally collect our receivables within three weeks from the date of the related sale, and we generally experience 35 to 45 inventory turns per year. In addition, our sales are not typically seasonal, which further limits our working capital requirements. The use of our ongoing cash flows from operations to service our debt obligations, invest in our business, pay dividends and repurchase our common stock reduces our working capital amounts. As of June 16, 2019, we had working capital of $73.5 million, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents of $152.7 million, advertising fund assets, restricted, of $117.7 million and advertising fund liabilities of $113.4 million. Working capital includes total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $108.3 million.
During the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2019, we experienced increases in both U.S. and international same store sales versus the comparable periods in the prior year. Additionally, our international and U.S. businesses grew store counts in the second quarter and the two fiscal quarters of 2019. These factors contributed to our continued ability to generate positive operating cash flows. We expect to continue to use our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, excess cash from our recapitalization transactions and available borrowings under our variable funding notes to, among other things, fund working capital requirements, invest in our core business, service our indebtedness, pay dividends and repurchase our common stock. We did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures as of June 16, 2019.
Based upon our current level of operations and anticipated growth, we believe that the cash generated from operations, our current unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and amounts available under our variable funding note facility will be adequate to meet our anticipated debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for at least the next twelve months. Our ability to continue to fund these items and continue to reduce debt could be adversely affected by the occurrence of any of the events described under “Risk Factors” in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There can be no assurance that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available under the variable funding notes or otherwise to enable us to service our indebtedness or to make anticipated capital expenditures. Our future operating performance and our ability to service, extend or refinance our fixed and floating rate notes and to service, extend or refinance our variable funding notes will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Table of Contents
Restricted Cash
As of June 16, 2019, we had approximately $115.9 million of restricted cash held for future principal and interest payments and other working capital requirements of our asset-backed securitization structure, $36.6 million of restricted cash held in a three-month interest reserve as required by the related debt agreements and $0.2 million of other restricted cash for a total of $152.7 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents. As of June 16, 2019, we also held $61.3 million of advertising fund restricted cash and cash equivalents, which can only be used for activities that promote the Domino’s Pizza brand.
Long-Term Debt
As of June 16, 2019, we had approximately $3.45 billion of long-term debt, of which $35.9 million was classified as a current liability. Our fixed and floating rate notes from the recapitalizations we completed in 2018, 2017 and 2015 have original scheduled principal payments of $17.6 million in the remainder of 2019, $35.3 million in each of 2020 and 2021, $888.0 million in 2022, $26.3 million in each of 2023 and 2024, $1.14 billion in 2025, $14.0 million in 2026 and $1.27 billion in 2027. As of June 16, 2019, we had no outstanding borrowings under our variable funding notes and $126.9 million available for borrowing, net of letters of credit issued of $48.1 million. The letters of credit are primarily related to our casualty insurance programs and supply chain center leases. Borrowings under the variable funding notes are available to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures and, subject to other limitations, other general corporate purposes including dividend payments and repurchases of our common stock.
Share Repurchase Programs
Our open market share repurchase programs have historically been funded by excess cash flows. On February 14, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $750.0 million of the Company’s common stock. During the second quarter of 2019, we repurchased and retired 12,295 shares of our common stock under our Board of Directors-approved open market share repurchase program for a total of approximately $3.3 million, or an average price of $269.14 per share. During the two fiscal quarters of 2019, we repurchased and retired 45,844 shares of our common stock under our Board of Directors-approved open market share repurchase program for a total of approximately $11.5 million, or an average price of $249.82 per share. As of June 16, 2019, we had a total remaining authorized amount for share repurchases of approximately $147.3 million.
During the second quarter of 2018, we repurchased and retired 905,556 shares of our common stock under our Board of Directors-approved open market share repurchase program for a total of approximately $219.0 million, or an average price of $241.82 per share. During the two fiscal quarters of 2018, we repurchased and retired 1,353,564 shares of our common stock under our Board of Directors-approved open market share repurchase program for a total of approximately $320.1 million, or an average price of $236.46 per share.
Dividends
On March 29, 2019, the Company paid a $0.65 dividend to its shareholders of record as of March 15, 2019. During the second quarter of 2019, on April 23, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a $0.65 per share quarterly dividend on its outstanding common stock for shareholders of record as of June 14, 2019, which was paid on June 28, 2019.
Subsequent to the second quarter, on July 10, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a $0.65 per share quarterly dividend on its outstanding common stock for shareholders of record as of September 13, 2019 to be paid on September 30, 2019.
The following table illustrates the main components of our cash flows:

(In millions) |  | Two Fiscal Quarters of 2019 |  |  | Two Fiscal Quarters of 2018 |
Cash Flows Provided By (Used In) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net cash provided by operating activities |  | $ | 201.6 |  |  | $ | 154.7 |
Net cash used in investing activities |  |  | (2.5 | ) |  |  | (43.8 | )
Net cash used in financing activities |  |  | (114.3 | ) |  |  | (30.1 | )
Exchange rate changes |  |  | 0.1 |  |  |  | (0.1 | )
Change in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 84.8 |  |  | $ | 80.7 |

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities increased $46.9 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2019 due to the positive impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities of $26.1 million, an increase in net income of $18.8 million and higher
non-cash
amounts of $2.0 million. The positive impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily related to the timing of receipts on accounts receivable and timing of payments on accounts payable during 2019 as compared to 2018 and was partially offset by the negative impact of changes in advertising fund assets and liabilities, restricted in 2019 as compared to 2018.

Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $2.5 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2019, which consisted primarily of $25.7 million of capital expenditures (driven primarily by investments in technological initiatives and supply chain centers). This use of cash was partially offset by maturities of advertising fund investments, restricted of $15.2 million and proceeds from the sale of assets of $8.2 million, which primarily related to the Second Quarter Store Sale.
Cash used in investing activities was $43.8 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2018, which consisted primarily of $37.3 million of capital expenditures (driven primarily by investments in technological initiatives, supply chain centers and Company-owned stores) and purchases of restricted advertising fund investments of $35.2 million. These uses of cash were partially offset by maturities of restricted advertising fund investments of $29.0 million.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities was $114.3 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2019, primarily related to repayments of long-term debt of $82.9 million (of which $65.0 million related to the repayment of borrowings under our variable funding notes), dividend payments to our shareholders of $26.7 million, purchases of common stock of $11.5 million under our Board of Directors-approved open market share repurchase program and tax payments for restricted stock upon vesting of $2.6 million. These uses of cash were partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $9.3 million.
Cash used in financing activities was $30.1 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2018. We issued $825.0 million of debt in connection with our 2018 Recapitalization and borrowed $80.0 million under our variable funding notes. However, these increases in cash were offset by repayments of long-term debt of $586.1 million (of which $490.0 million was an optional prepayment on our 2015 five-year fixed rate notes using a portion of the proceeds received from the 2018 Recapitalization and $80.0 million related to the repayment of the borrowings under our variable funding notes), purchases of common stock of $320.1 million, dividend payments to our shareholders of $23.5 million, and cash paid for financing costs related to our 2018 Recapitalization of $8.2 million. We also made $2.3 million in tax payments for restricted stock upon vesting and received proceeds of $5.2 million from the exercise of stock options.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market Risk
We do not engage in speculative transactions nor do we hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. In connection with the recapitalizations of our business, we issued fixed and floating rate notes and entered into variable funding notes and, at June 16, 2019, we are exposed to interest rate risk on borrowings under our floating rate notes and variable funding notes. As of June 16, 2019, we had no outstanding borrowings under our variable funding notes. Our floating rate notes and our variable funding notes bear interest at fluctuating interest rates based on LIBOR.
There is currently uncertainty around whether LIBOR will continue to exist after 2021. If LIBOR ceases to exist, we may need to renegotiate our loan documents and we cannot predict what alternative index would be negotiated with our lenders. As a result, our interest expense could increase, in which event we may have difficulties making interest payments and funding our other fixed costs, and our available cash flow for general corporate requirements may be adversely affected.
Our fixed rate debt exposes the Company to changes in market interest rates reflected in the fair value of the debt and to the risk that the Company may need to refinance maturing debt with new debt at a higher rate.
We are exposed to market risks from changes in commodity prices. During the normal course of business, we purchase cheese and certain other food products that are affected by changes in commodity prices and, as a result, we are subject to volatility in our food costs. We may periodically enter into financial instruments to manage this risk. We do not engage in speculative transactions or hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. In instances when we use fixed pricing agreements with our suppliers, these agreements cover our physical commodity needs, are not
net-settled
and are accounted for as normal purchases.
We have exposure to various foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations for revenues generated by our operations outside the U.S., which can adversely impact our net income and cash flows. Approximately 6.8% of our total revenues in the second quarter of 2019, approximately 6.6% of our total revenues in the two fiscal quarters of 2019, and approximately 6.6% of our total revenues in both the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2018 were derived from our international franchise segment, a majority of which were denominated in foreign currencies. We also operate dough manufacturing and distribution facilities in Canada, which generate revenues denominated in Canadian dollars. We do not enter into financial instruments to manage this foreign currency exchange rate risk. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the foreign currency exchange rates for our international markets would have resulted in a negative impact on royalty revenues of approximately $9.6 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2019.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures.

Management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Richard E. Allison, Jr., and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Jeffrey D. Lawrence, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules
13a-15(e)
and
15d-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, Mr. Allison and Mr. Lawrence concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
During the quarterly period ended June 16, 2019, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, as defined in Rules
13a-15(f)
and
15d-15(f)
under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. | Legal Proceedings.

We are a party to lawsuits, revenue agent reviews by taxing authorities and administrative proceedings in the ordinary course of business which include, without limitation, workers’ compensation, general liability, automobile and franchisee claims. We are also subject to suits related to employment practices as well as intellectual property, including patents.
As previously disclosed in our 2018 Form
10-K,
on February 14, 2011, Domino’s Pizza LLC was named as a defendant in a lawsuit along with Fischler Enterprises of C.F., Inc., a franchisee, and Jeffrey S. Kidd, the franchisee’s delivery driver, filed by Yvonne Wiederhold, the plaintiff, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Richard E. Wiederhold, deceased. The case involved a traffic accident in which the franchisee’s delivery driver is alleged to have caused an accident involving a vehicle driven by Richard Wiederhold. Mr. Wiederhold sustained spinal injuries resulting in quadriplegia and passed away several months after the accident. The case went to trial in 2016 and the Company was found liable, but the verdict was reversed by the Florida Fifth District Court of Appeals in May 2018 and was remanded to the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida for a new trial. The case was tried again in June 2019 and the jury returned an $9.0 million judgment for the plaintiff where the Company and Mr. Kidd were found to be 100% liable (after certain offsets and other deductions the final verdict was $8.0 million). The Company continues to deny liability and has filed post-judgment motions with the ultimate intention of filing another appeal of the verdict, if necessary.
While we may occasionally be party to large claims, including class action suits, we do not believe that any existing matters, individually or in the aggregate, will materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As of June 16, 2019, the Company had approximately $147.3 million remaining for future share repurchases under this program. Authorization for the repurchase program may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time. The repurchase of shares in any particular period and the actual amount of such purchases remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and no assurance can be given that shares will be repurchased in the future.
