Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited; tabular amounts in thousands, except percentages, share and per share amounts)

June 19, 2022

 

 

1. Basis of Presentation

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 January 2, 2022 included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2022 (the “2021 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 and two fiscal quarters ended June 19, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 1, 2023.

 

2. Segment Information

 

The following tables summarize revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other, which is the measure by which the Company allocates resources to its segments and which the Company refers to as Segment Income, for each of its reportable segments. Intersegment revenues are comprised of sales of food, equipment and supplies from the supply chain segment to the Company-owned stores in the U.S. stores segment. Intersegment sales prices are market based. The “Other” column as it relates to Segment Income below primarily includes corporate administrative costs that are not allocable to a reportable segment, including labor, computer expenses, professional fees, travel and entertainment, rent, insurance and other corporate administrative costs.

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.

 

Fair Value of Cash Equivalents and Investments

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 fair value of the Company’s Level 3 investment is not readily determinable. The fair value represents its cost with adjustments for observable changes in prices resulting from orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer or impairments.

The following tables summarize the carrying amounts and fair values of certain assets at June 19, 2022 and January 2, 2022:

The Company holds a non-controlling interest in DPC Dash Ltd, a privately-held business company limited by shares incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“DPC Dash”). Through its subsidiaries, DPC Dash serves as the Company’s master franchisee in China that owns and operates Domino’s Pizza stores in that market. The Company’s investment in DPC Dash’s senior ordinary shares, which are not in-substance common stock, represents an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value and is recorded at cost with adjustments for observable changes in prices resulting from orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer or impairments.

 

The Company did not record any adjustments to the carrying amount of $125.8 million in the second quarter or two fiscal quarters of 2022. The following table summarizes the reconciliation of the carrying amount of the Company’s investment in DPC Dash from the opening balance at January 3, 2021 to the closing balance at June 20, 2021 as a result of the additional investment made in the first quarter of 2021.

Fair Value of Debt

 

The estimated fair values of the Company’s fixed 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 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 below.

 

Management estimated the approximate fair values of the Company's 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2021 notes as follows:

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company purchased 23 U.S. franchised stores from certain of the Companys existing U.S. franchisees for $6.8 million, which included $4.0 million of intangibles, $1.7 million of equipment and leasehold improvements and $1.1 million of goodwill.

 

10. New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

The Company has considered all new accounting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The Company has not yet adopted the following standard.

 

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The Company’s variable funding notes bear interest at fluctuating interest rates based on LIBOR. However, the associated loan documents contemplate a transition from LIBOR to secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) in the event that LIBOR ceases to exist. ASU 2020-04 may currently be adopted and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made on or before December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

(Unaudited; tabular amounts in millions, except percentages and store data)

The 2022 and 2021 second quarters referenced herein represent the twelve-week periods ended June 19, 2022 and June 20, 2021, respectively. The 2022 and 2021 two fiscal quarters referenced herein represent the twenty-four-week periods ended June 19, 2022 and June 20, 2021, respectively. In this section, we discuss the results of our operations for the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022 as compared to the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2021.

 

Overview

 

Domino’s is the largest pizza company in the world with more than 19,200 locations in over 90 markets around the world as of June 19, 2022, and operates two distinct service models within its stores with a significant business in both delivery and carryout. Founded in 1960, our roots are in convenient pizza delivery, while a significant amount of our sales also come from carryout customers. We are a highly recognized global brand, and we focus on serving neighborhoods locally through our large worldwide network of franchise owners and U.S. Company-owned stores. We are primarily a franchisor, with approximately 98% of Domino’s stores currently owned and operated by our independent franchisees. Franchising enables an individual to be his or her own employer and maintain control over all employment-related matters and pricing decisions, while also benefiting from the strength of the Domino’s global brand and operating system with limited capital investment by us.

 

The Domino’s business model is straightforward: Domino’s stores handcraft and serve quality food at a competitive price, with easy ordering access and efficient service, enhanced by our technological innovations. Our hand-tossed dough is made fresh and distributed to stores around the world by us and our franchisees.

 

Domino’s generates revenues and earnings by charging royalties and fees to our franchisees. Royalties are ongoing percent-of-sales fees for use of the Domino’s® brand marks. We also generate revenues and earnings by selling food, equipment and supplies to franchisees through our supply chain operations, primarily in the U.S. and Canada, and by operating a number of Company-owned stores in the United States. 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 may profit by sub-franchising and selling food and equipment to those sub-franchisees, as well as by running pizza stores. We believe that everyone in the system can benefit, including the end consumer, who can purchase Domino’s menu items for themselves and their family conveniently and economically.

 

The Domino’s business model can yield strong returns for our franchise owners and our Company-owned stores. It can also yield significant cash flows to us, through a consistent franchise royalty payment and supply chain revenue stream, with moderate capital expenditures. We have historically returned cash to shareholders through dividend payments and share repurchases. We believe we have a proven business model for success, which includes leading with technology, service and product innovation and leveraging our global scale, which has historically driven strong returns for our shareholders.

Excluding the negative impact of foreign currency, Dominos experienced global retail sales growth during the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022. We believe our commitment to value, convenience, quality and new products continues to keep consumers engaged with the brand. U.S. same store sales declined 2.9% and 3.3% in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022, respectively, rolling over increases in U.S. same store sales of 3.5% and 8.1% in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2021, respectively. The decline in U.S. same store sales in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022 was attributable to lower order counts due in part to labor shortages affecting store hours and staffing levels in many of our markets and economic stimulus activity in the U.S in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2021 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic which did not recur in the respective periods of 2022. These decreases were partially offset by a higher average ticket per transaction resulting from higher menu and national offer pricing, as well as more items purchased per transaction and increases to our average delivery fee. International same store sales (excluding foreign currency impact) declined 2.2% and 0.5% in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022, respectively, rolling over increases in international same store sales (excluding foreign currency impact) of 13.9% and 12.8% in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2021, respectively. The decline in same store sales (excluding foreign currency impact) in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022 in our international business was driven in part by a value added tax holiday in the United Kingdom in the second quarter of 2021 that did not recur in the second quarter of 2022. Our U.S. and international same store sales (excluding foreign currency impact) continue to be pressured by our fortressing strategy, which includes increasing store concentration in certain markets where we compete, as well as from aggressive competitive activity.

During the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022, we experienced significant inflationary pressures in our commodity, labor and fuel costs resulting from the macroeconomic environment in the U.S., which had a significant impact on our overall operating results as compared to the respective periods of fiscal 2021.

We continued our global expansion with the opening of 233 net stores in the second quarter of 2022, bringing our year-to-date total to 446. We had 22 net stores open in the U.S. and 211 net stores open internationally during the second quarter of 2022.

Overall, we believe our continued global store growth, along with our global retail sales growth (excluding foreign currency impact), emphasis on technology, operations, and marketing initiatives, have combined to strengthen our brand.

Statistical Measures

 

The tables below outline certain statistical measures we utilize to analyze our performance. This historical data is not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any future period.

 

Global Retail Sales Growth (excluding foreign currency impact)

 

Global retail sales growth (excluding foreign currency impact) is a commonly used statistical measure in the quick-service restaurant industry that is important to understanding performance. Global retail sales refers to total worldwide retail sales at Company-owned and franchise stores. We believe global retail sales information is useful in analyzing revenues because franchisees pay royalties and, in the U.S., advertising fees that are based on a percentage of franchise retail sales. We review comparable industry global retail sales information to assess business trends and to track the growth of the Domino’s Pizza brand. In addition, supply chain revenues are directly impacted by changes in franchise retail sales in the U.S. and Canada. Retail sales for franchise stores are reported to us by our franchisees and are not included in our revenues. Global retail sales growth, excluding foreign currency impact, is calculated as the change of international local currency global retail sales against the comparable period of the prior year.

Same Store Sales Growth

 

Same store sales growth is a commonly used statistical measure in the quick-service restaurant industry that is important to understanding performance. Same store sales growth is calculated by including only sales from stores that also had sales in the comparable weeks of both years. International same store sales growth is calculated similarly to U.S. same store sales growth. Changes in international same store sales are reported excluding foreign currency impacts, which reflect changes in international local currency sales.

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 substantially all of our U.S. franchised stores and certain international franchised stores. Company-owned store and franchised store revenues may vary from period to period due to changes in store count mix. Supply chain revenues may 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 $4.1 million, or 3.5%, in the second quarter of 2022, and decreased $12.9 million, or 5.6%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2022 due to a decline in U.S. Company-owned same store sales. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the average number of U.S. Company-owned stores open during the period resulting from net store growth and the 2022 Store Purchase.

 

U.S. Company-owned same store sales declined 9.2% and 9.8% in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022, respectively. U.S. Company-owned same store sales declined 2.6% in the second quarter of 2021 and increased 1.6% in the two fiscal quarters of 2021.

 

U.S. Franchise Royalties and Fees

 

Revenues from U.S. franchise royalties and fees increased $1.3 million, or 1.0%, in the second quarter of 2022 due to an increase in revenues from fees paid by franchisees for the use of our technology platforms, as well as an increase in the average number of U.S. franchised stores open during the period resulting from net store growth. These increases in revenues were partially offset by a decline in U.S. franchise same store sales. Revenues from U.S. franchise royalties and fees decreased $0.9 million, or 0.4%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2022 due primarily to a decline in U.S. franchise same store sales, and was partially offset by an increase in revenues from fees paid by franchisees for the use of our technology platforms, as well as an increase in the average number of U.S. franchised stores open during the period resulting from net store growth. Revenues from U.S. franchise royalties and fees were negatively impacted by the 2022 Store Purchase in both the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022.

 

U.S. franchise same store sales declined 2.5% and 2.9% in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022, respectively. U.S. franchise same store sales increased 3.9% and 8.5% in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2021, respectively.

 

U.S. Franchise Advertising

 

Revenues from U.S. franchise advertising decreased $5.3 million, or 4.5%, in the second quarter of 2022, and decreased $10.0 million, or 4.4%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2022 due primarily to a decline in U.S. franchise same store sales and to a lesser extent, the 2022 Store Purchase. Approximately $2.6 million and $5.1 million in advertising incentives related to certain brand promotions in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022, respectively, also contributed to the decreases in U.S. franchise advertising revenues. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the average number of U.S. franchised stores open during the period, resulting from net store growth.

 

Supply Chain

 

Supply chain revenues increased $43.6 million, or 7.2%, in the second quarter of 2022, and increased $84.8 million, or 7.2%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2022 due to higher market basket pricing to stores, partially offset by lower order volumes at our U.S. franchise stores during the respective periods. Our market basket pricing to stores increased 15.2% during the second quarter of 2022, which resulted in an estimated $77.1 million increase in supply chain revenues. Our market basket pricing to stores increased 13.6% during the two fiscal quarters of 2022 which resulted in an estimated $133.2 million increase in supply chain revenues.

 

International Franchise Royalties and Fee Revenues

 

Revenues from international franchise royalties and fees decreased $2.8 million, or 4.1%, in the second quarter of 2022, and decreased $0.8 million, or 0.6%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2022 due primarily to the negative impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $5.9 million and $10.1 million in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022, respectively. A decline in international same store sales (excluding foreign currency impact) in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022 also contributed to the decreases in international franchise revenues in the respective periods. An increase in the average number of international franchise stores open during the respective periods, resulting from net store growth, partially offset the declines in revenues.

 

Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, international franchise same store sales declined 2.2% and 0.5% in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022, respectively. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, international franchise same store sales increased 13.9% and 12.8% in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2021, respectively.

Consolidated cost of sales consists of U.S. 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 gross margin (which we define as revenues less cost of sales) decreased $21.4 million, or 5.3%, in the second quarter of 2022, and decreased $42.0 million, or 5.3%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2022 due primarily to lower U.S. Company-owned store revenues, as well as higher food, labor and delivery costs and lower global franchise revenues. Franchise revenues do not have a cost of sales component, so changes in these revenues have a disproportionate effect on gross margin. Additionally, as our market basket prices fluctuate, our revenues and gross margin percentages in our supply chain segment also fluctuate; however, actual product-level dollar gross margins remain unchanged.

 

As a percentage of revenues, the consolidated gross margin decreased 3.2 percentage points in the second quarter of 2022, and decreased 3.1 percentage points in the two fiscal quarters of 2022. U.S. Company-owned store gross margin decreased 8.1 percentage points in the second quarter of 2022, and decreased 8.0 percentage points in the two fiscal quarters of 2022. Supply chain gross margin decreased 1.5 percentage points in both the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022. These changes in gross margin are described below.

U.S. Company-owned store gross margin (which does not include certain store-level costs such as royalties and advertising) decreased $10.1 million, or 35.5%, in the second quarter of 2022, and decreased $20.6 million, or 37.1%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2022 due primarily to lower same store sales, as well as higher food costs. As a percentage of store revenues, the U.S. Company-owned store gross margin decreased 8.1 percentage points in the second quarter of 2022, and decreased 8.0 percentage points in the two fiscal quarters of 2022. These changes in gross margin as a percentage of revenues are discussed in additional detail below.

Food costs increased 4.1 percentage points to 31.6% in the second quarter of 2022, and increased 4.0 percentage points to 31.3% in the two fiscal quarters of 2022 as a result of higher food basket prices.
Labor costs increased 1.6 percentage points to 29.0% in the second quarter of 2022, and increased 2.0 percentage points to 29.9% in the two fiscal quarters of 2022 due primarily to continued investments in frontline team member wage rates in our U.S. Company-owned stores, as well as lower sales leverage. These increases were partially offset by lower headcount attributable to labor shortages affecting store hours and staffing levels in many of our markets.
Occupancy costs, including rent, telephone, utilities and depreciation, increased 1.6 percentage points to 9.0% in the second quarter of 2022, and increased 1.3 percentage points to 9.0% in the two fiscal quarters of 2022 due primarily to lower sales leverage.
Insurance costs increased 0.7 percentage points to 4.6% in the second quarter of 2022, and increased 0.8 percentage points to 4.4% in the two fiscal quarters of 2022 due primarily to unfavorable claims experience, as well as lower sales leverage.

Supply chain gross margin decreased $4.5 million, or 6.7%, in the second quarter of 2022, and decreased $9.6 million, or 7.6%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2022 due primarily to higher labor and delivery costs. As a percentage of supply chain revenues, supply chain gross margin decreased 1.5 percentage points in both the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022 due to higher food and delivery costs. The increases in food and delivery costs as a percentage of supply chain revenues resulted from macroeconomic inflationary pressures in the U.S., as well as lower sales leverage. Lower insurance expense resulting from favorable claims experience partially offset the decreases in supply chain gross margin as a percentage of supply chain revenues in the second quarter of 2022.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased $3.4 million, or 3.4%, in the second quarter of 2022 driven primarily by lower labor costs, partially offset by higher professional fees and travel expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $2.9 million, or 1.5%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2022 driven primarily by higher professional fees, travel expenses, non-cash equity-based compensation expense and amortization expense for capitalized software. These increases were partially offset by lower labor costs.

 

U.S. Franchise Advertising Expenses

 

U.S. franchise advertising expenses decreased $5.3 million, or 4.5%, in the second quarter of 2022, and decreased $10.0 million, or 4.4%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2022 consistent with the decreases in 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 other activities that promote the Domino’s brand and these revenues cannot be used for general corporate purposes.

 

Other Income

 

During the first quarter of 2021, we recorded a $2.5 million unrealized gain on our investment in DPC Dash (Note 5) resulting from the observable change in price from the valuation of our additional $40.0 million investment. We did not record any adjustments to the carrying amount in the second quarter or two fiscal quarters of 2022, or the second quarter of 2021.

 

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net decreased $1.2 million, or 2.6%, in the second quarter of 2022 driven primarily by approximately $2.3 million of incremental interest expense recorded in the second quarter of 2021 in connection with our recapitalization transaction completed on April 16, 2021 (the “2021 Recapitalization”), partially offset by higher average borrowings resulting from the 2021 Recapitalization. Interest expense, net increased $6.2 million, or 7.3%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2022 driven by higher average borrowings resulting from the 2021 Recapitalization.

The Company’s weighted average borrowing rate was 3.8% in both the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022 and 2021.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax expense increased $2.5 million, or 8.8%, in the second quarter of 2022 due to a higher effective tax rate, and was partially offset by a decrease in income before provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate increased to 23.2% during the second quarter of 2022 as compared to 19.6% in the second quarter of 2021. Income tax expense decreased $2.6 million, or 4.3%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2022 due to a decrease in income before provision for income taxes, but was partially offset by a higher effective tax rate. The effective tax rate increased to 23.0% during the two fiscal quarters of 2022 as compared to 20.5% in the two fiscal quarters of 2021. The higher effective tax rate in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022 was driven in part by a 2.2 and 1.4 percentage point change in excess tax benefits from equity-based compensation, which are recorded as a reduction to the income tax provision, in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022, respectively. The decreases in excess tax benefits from equity-based compensation were a result of fewer stock option exercises in the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022 as compared to the respective periods in 2021. The increase in the effective tax rate was also a result of lower foreign tax credits.

 

Segment Income

We evaluate the performance of our reportable segments and allocate resources to them based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other, referred to as Segment Income. Segment Income for each of our reportable segments is summarized in the table below. Other Segment Income primarily includes corporate administrative costs that are not allocable to a reportable segment, including labor, computer expenses, professional fees, travel and entertainment, rent, insurance and other corporate administrative costs.

U.S. Stores

U.S. stores Segment Income decreased $7.8 million, or 7.0%, in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to the $10.1 million decrease in U.S. Company-owned store gross margin, and was partially offset by the $1.3 million increase in U.S. franchise royalties and fees revenues, each as discussed above. U.S. stores Segment Income decreased $17.9 million, or 8.2%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2022, primarily due to the $20.6 million decrease in U.S. Company-owned store gross margin, as well as the $0.9 million decrease in U.S. franchise royalties and fees revenues, each as discussed above. U.S. franchise revenues do not have a cost of sales component, therefore changes in these revenues have a disproportionate effect on U.S. stores Segment Income. U.S. franchise advertising costs are accrued and expensed when the related U.S. franchise advertising revenues are recognized and had no impact on U.S. stores Segment Income.

 

Supply Chain

Supply chain Segment Income decreased $5.0 million, or 8.5%, in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to the $4.5 million decrease in supply chain gross margin discussed above. Supply chain Segment Income decreased $11.2 million, or 10.0%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2022, primarily due to the $9.6 million decrease in supply chain gross margin discussed above.

 

International Franchise

International franchise Segment Income decreased $3.5 million, or 6.2%, in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to the $2.8 million decrease in international franchise royalties and fees revenues discussed above. International franchise Segment Income decreased $2.9 million, or 2.6%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2022, primarily due to the $0.8 million decrease in international franchise royalties and fees revenues discussed above. International franchise revenues do not have a cost of sales component, therefore changes in these revenues have a disproportionate effect on international franchise Segment Income.

 

Other

Other Segment Income increased $4.0 million, or 41.6%, in the second quarter of 2022, and increased $2.4 million, or 15.2%, in the two fiscal quarters of 2022, primarily due to lower labor costs partially offset by higher professional fees and travel expenses in the respective periods.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Historically, our receivable collection periods and inventory turn rates are faster than the normal payment terms on our current liabilities resulting in efficient deployment of working capital. We generally collect our receivables within three weeks from the date of the related sale and we generally experience multiple inventory turns per month. In addition, our sales are not typically seasonal, which further limits variations in our working capital requirements. These factors allow us to manage our working capital and our ongoing cash flows from operations to invest in our business and other strategic opportunities, pay dividends and repurchase and retire shares of our common stock. As of June 19, 2022, we had working capital of $104.8 million, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents of $158.2 million, advertising fund assets, restricted, of $182.5 million and advertising fund liabilities of $175.1 million. Working capital includes total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $114.4 million.

 

Our primary source of liquidity is cash flows from operations and availability of borrowings under our variable funding notes. During the second quarter and two fiscal quarters of 2022, we continued to increase global retail sales (excluding foreign currency impact), which continued our ability to generate positive operating cash flows. As of June 19, 2022, we had a variable funding note facility which allowed for advances of up to $200.0 million of Series 2021-1 Variable Funding Senior Secured Notes, Class A-1 Notes and certain other credit instruments, including letters of credit (the “2021 Variable Funding Notes”). The letters of credit are primarily related to our casualty insurance programs and certain supply chain center leases. As of June 19, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings and $155.8 million of available borrowing capacity under our 2021 Variable Funding Notes, net of letters of credit issued of $44.2 million.

 

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 shares of our common stock.

 

Our ability to continue to fund these items and continue to service our debt could be adversely affected by the occurrence of any of the events described under “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Form 10-K. There can be no assurance that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available under our 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 outstanding senior 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.

Restricted Cash

As of June 19, 2022, we had $110.6 million of restricted cash held for future principal and interest payments and other working capital requirements of our asset-backed securitization structure, $47.4 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 $158.2 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents. As of June 19, 2022, we also held $164.1 million of advertising fund restricted cash and cash equivalents, which can only be used for activities that promote the Domino’s brand.

 

Long-Term Debt

As of June 19, 2022, we had approximately $5.05 billion of long-term debt, of which $55.7 million was classified as a current liability. As of June 19, 2022, our fixed rate notes from the recapitalizations we completed in 2021, 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2015 had original scheduled principal payments of $25.8 million in the remainder of 2022, $51.5 million in each of 2023 and 2024, $1.17 billion in 2025, $39.3 million in 2026, $1.31 billion in 2027, $811.5 million in 2028, $625.9 million in 2029, $10.0 million in 2030 and $905.0 million in 2031.

 

In accordance with our debt agreements, the payment of principal on the outstanding senior notes may be suspended if our leverage ratio is less than or equal to 5.0x total debt to adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the related agreements, and no catch-up provisions are applicable. As of the fourth quarter of 2020, we had a leverage ratio of less than 5.0x, and accordingly, did not make the previously scheduled debt amortization payment on our then-outstanding notes in the first quarter of 2021. Subsequent to the closing of the 2021 Recapitalization, we had a leverage ratio of greater than 5.0x, and accordingly, resumed making the previously scheduled debt amortization payment on our notes beginning in the second quarter of 2021.

 

The notes are subject to certain financial and non-financial covenants, including a debt service coverage ratio calculation. The covenant requires a minimum coverage ratio of 1.75x total debt service to securitized net cash flow, as defined in the related agreements. In the event that certain covenants are not met, the notes may become due and payable on an accelerated schedule.

 

Share Repurchase Programs

 

Our share repurchase programs have historically been funded by excess operating cash flows, excess proceeds from our recapitalization transactions and borrowings under our variable funding notes. On July 20, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of our common stock.

During the second quarter of 2022, we repurchased and retired 148,248 shares of our common stock under our Board of Directors-approved share repurchase program for a total of approximately $50.0 million. During the two fiscal quarters of 2022, we repurchased and retired 249,058 shares of our common stock under our Board of Directors-approved share repurchase program for a total of approximately $97.7 million. As of June 19, 2022, we had a total remaining authorized amount for share repurchases of approximately $606.4 million.

 

Dividends

 

On April 26, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a $1.10 per share quarterly dividend on our outstanding common stock for shareholders of record as of June 15, 2022, which was paid on June 30, 2022. We had approximately $40.6 million accrued for common stock dividends at June 19, 2022. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, on July 19, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a $1.10 per share quarterly dividend on our outstanding common stock for shareholders of record as of September 15, 2022 to be paid on September 30, 2022.

Operating Activities

 

Cash provided by operating activities decreased $142.0 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2022, primarily due to the negative impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities of $81.7 million. The negative impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities related to the timing of payments on accrued liabilities, income taxes and prepaid expenses, as well as the timing of collections on accounts receivable in the two fiscal quarters of 2022 as compared to the two fiscal quarters of 2021. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was also due to a $27.7 million negative impact of changes in advertising fund assets and liabilities, restricted, in the two fiscal quarters of 2022 as compared to the two fiscal quarters of 2021 due to payments for advertising activities outpacing receipts for advertising contributions. Additionally, net income decreased $40.9 million. However, this decrease in net income included an $8.3 million increase in non-cash adjustments, resulting in an overall decrease to cash provided by operating activities in the two fiscal quarters of 2022 as compared to the two fiscal quarters of 2021 of $32.6 million.

 

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $39.9 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2022, which primarily consisted of $32.7 million of capital expenditures (driven primarily by investments in technological initiatives, supply chain centers and corporate store operations). As a result of the 2022 Store Purchase, we also acquired 23 U.S. franchise stores from certain of our existing U.S. franchisees in the first quarter of 2022 for $6.8 million.

 

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $166.7 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2022, which primarily consisted of the repurchase of approximately $97.7 million in common stock under our Board of Directors-approved share repurchase program, dividend payments of $39.7 million, repayments of long-term debt and finance lease obligations of $27.5 million and tax payments for the vesting of restricted stock of $2.4 million. These uses of cash were partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $0.5 million.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

For a description of the Company’s critical accounting estimates, refer to “Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the 2021 Form 10-K. The Company considers its most significant accounting policies and estimates to be long-lived assets, casualty insurance reserves and income taxes. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates since January 2, 2022.

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 have issued fixed rate notes and entered into variable funding notes and, at June 19, 2022, we are exposed to interest rate risk on borrowings under our variable funding notes. As of June 19, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under our 2021 Variable Funding Notes.

 

Our 2021 Variable Funding Notes bear interest at fluctuating interest rates based on LIBOR. There is currently uncertainty around whether LIBOR will continue to exist after 2023. Our 2021 Variable Funding Notes loan documents contemplate a transition from LIBOR to secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) in the event that LIBOR ceases to exist. Because the composition and characteristics of SOFR are not the same as those of LIBOR, in such event, there can be no assurance that SOFR will perform the same way LIBOR would have at any given time or for any applicable period. 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. Our existing fixed rate notes have various maturities such that we would not be required to refinance all of our debt at one time. Refer to the original scheduled principal payments disclosed within the Liquidity and Capital Resources section.

 

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. Severe increases in commodity prices or food costs, including as a result of inflation, could affect the global and U.S. economies and could also adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations. We may periodically enter into financial instruments to manage this risk, although we have not done so historically. 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 6.3% of our total revenues in the second quarter of 2022, approximately 6.5% of our total revenues in the two fiscal quarters of 2022, approximately 6.7% of our total revenues in the second quarter of 2021 and approximately 6.8% of our total revenues in the two fiscal quarters of 2021 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 risk. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the foreign currency rates for our international markets would have resulted in a negative impact on royalty revenues of approximately $12.1 million in the two fiscal quarters of 2022.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Russell J. Weiner, and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Sandeep Reddy, 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. Weiner and Mr. Reddy concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

During the quarterly period ended June 19, 2022, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

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.

 

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.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

There have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in Part I of our 2021 Form 10-K.

2004 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

 

This agreement (including any exhibits hereto, this “Agreement”) evidences an award (this “Award”) of restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) granted by Domino’s Pizza, Inc. (the “Company”) to the undersigned (the “Participant”) pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of the Domino’s Pizza, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein by reference. Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein have the same meaning as in the Plan.

 

1.
RSU Award. The Company grants to the Participant on the date set forth above (the “Date of Grant”) the number of restricted stock units (the “Restricted Stock Units”) set forth above giving the Participant the conditional right to receive, without payment and pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan, one share of Stock with respect to each resulting Restricted Stock Unit that becomes vested pursuant to this Award, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 7 of the Plan in respect of transactions occurring after the date hereof.

 

2.
Vesting Conditions. The RSUs shall vest as provided for in Exhibit A hereto.
3.
Delivery of Shares; Settlement of Award.

 

(a)
In General. The Company shall, as soon as practicable and in all events no later than thirty (30) days following the applicable Settlement Date, transfer to the Participant (or, in the event of the Participant’s death, to the person to whom this Award has passed by will or the laws of descent and distribution) the number of shares of Stock that equals the vested portion of this Award. No shares of Stock will be transferred pursuant to this Award unless and until all legal requirements applicable to the issuance or transfer of such shares have been satisfied.
(b)
Settlement Date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Settlement Date” means the date on or following and by reference to which any vested RSUs subject to this Award are to be settled, if at all, in whole or in part, through the delivery of shares of Stock, as set forth below:
(i)
Other than in the event of a Covered Transaction (as defined in the Plan) or an Acceleration Event (as defined in Exhibit A), the Settlement Date for the First RSU Tranche (as defined in Exhibit A) shall be the First Scheduled Vesting Date (as defined in Exhibit A) and the Settlement Date

1


Exhibit 10.1

for the Second RSU Tranche (as defined in Exhibit A) shall be the Second Scheduled Vesting Date (as defined in Exhibit A).
(ii)
In the event of an Acceleration Event, the Settlement Date for any RSUs that become vested in connection therewith shall be the date of such Acceleration Event.
(iii)
In the event of a Covered Transaction, the Settlement Date shall be the date of consummation of the Covered Transaction, with the Company transferring shares of Stock underlying the RSUs immediately prior to the consummation of such Covered Transaction; provided that if the Covered Transaction does not meet the requirements for a “change in control event,” as that term is defined in Treasury Regulations § 1.409A–3(i)(5)(i), the Settlement Date for any portion of this Award that is subject to, and not exempt from, the applicable requirements of Section 409A (the “409A Award Portion”) shall be the Scheduled Vesting Date (as defined in Exhibit A) applicable to the 409A Award Portion.
(iv)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Participant is determined to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A and the Treasury regulations thereunder, as determined by the Company, at the time of the Participant’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A and the Treasury regulations thereunder (after giving effect to the presumptions contained therein), then to the extent necessary to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, the settlement and delivery of any shares of Stock hereunder upon such separation from service will be delayed until the earlier of: (a) the date that is six months and one day following the Participant’s separation from service and (b) the Participant’s death.
4.
Forfeiture; Recovery of Compensation.

 

The Administrator may cancel, rescind, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict this Award at any time if the Participant is not in compliance with all applicable provisions of this Agreement and the Plan. By accepting this Award, the Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that his or her rights under this Award, and those of any permitted transferee of this Award, including the right to any shares of Stock acquired under this Award or proceeds from the disposition thereof, are subject to any applicable clawback or incentive compensation recovery policy of the Company as may be in effect from time to time. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed as limiting the general application of Section 10 of this Agreement.

 

5.
Dividends; Other Rights.

 

This Award shall not be interpreted to bestow upon the Participant any equity interest or ownership in the Company or any Affiliate prior to the date on which the Company delivers shares of Stock (if any) to the Participant. The Participant is not entitled to vote any shares of Stock by reason of the granting of this Award, and the Participant shall have the rights of a

2


Exhibit 10.1

shareholder only as to those shares of Stock, if any, that are actually delivered under this Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the delivery of any shares of Stock in respect of any vested RSUs subject hereto, the Participant shall be entitled to a cash payment by the Company in an amount equal to the amount that the Participant would have received, if any, as a regular cash dividend had the Participant held such shares of Stock from the Date of Grant to the date such shares of Stock are delivered hereunder, less all applicable taxes and withholding obligations. Any such payment shall be paid, if at all, without interest on the date such shares of Stock are delivered hereunder.

 

6.
Certain Tax Matters.

 

The Participant expressly acknowledges that because this Award consists of an unfunded and unsecured promise by the Company to deliver Stock in the future, subject to the terms hereof, it is not possible to make a so-called “83(b) election” with respect to this Award. This Award is intended to be exempt from, or comply with, Section 409A and shall be construed by the Administrator accordingly. Notwithstanding the preceding, neither the Company, nor any Affiliate, nor the Administrator, nor any person acting on behalf of any of them, shall be liable to the Participant by reason of any acceleration of income, or any tax or additional tax, asserted (A) by reason of any failure of this Award or any portion thereof to satisfy the requirements for exemption from, or compliance with, Section 409A or (B) by reason of Section 4999 of the Code. All references to “Section 409A” in this Agreement shall be references to Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and such other guidance as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

 

7.
Withholding. The Participant shall pay to the Company, or make provision satisfactory to the Company for payment of, any taxes required by law to be withheld in connection with the vesting and/or settlement of the RSUs (including, without limitation, any amount that is treated as “wages” for FICA/FUTA or Medicare tax purposes on a current basis rather than when distributed). The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, require that a portion of the shares of Stock that would have otherwise been delivered to the Participant upon vesting and settlement of the RSUs be sold by the Participant or retained by the Company to satisfy any applicable federal, state or local income, employment or other tax withholding and payment obligations, or in the case of any such taxes due upon vesting and prior to delivery of shares of Stock hereunder that the number of shares subject to this Award may be reduced to satisfy such tax withholding and payment obligations (but, with respect to any amounts constituting deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, not in excess of amounts permitted to be accelerated by Section 409A including Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(vi)). The Company and its Affiliates may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct any unsatisfied tax obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant.

 

8.
Transfer of Award.

 

This Award may not be transferred except as expressly permitted under Section 6(a)(4) of the Plan.

 

9.
Effect on Employment.

3


Exhibit 10.1

 

This Agreement is not a contract of employment between the Company (or any Subsidiary) and the Participant. The Participant retains the right to terminate his or her employment with the Company (or one of its Subsidiaries, as applicable), and the Company (and its Subsidiaries as applicable) retains the right to terminate or modify the terms of the Participant’s employment, subject to any rights retained by either party under the Participant’s employment agreement, if Participant has an employment agreement, and no loss of rights, contingent or otherwise, under this Agreement upon termination of employment shall be claimed by the Participant as an element of damages in any dispute over such termination of employment.

 

10.
Provisions of the Plan.

 

This Agreement is subject in its entirety to the provisions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Plan as in effect on the Date of Grant has been furnished to the Participant. By accepting all or any part of this Award, the Participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control (except as otherwise expressly provided herein).

 

11.
Acknowledgements.

 

The Participant acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument, (ii) this agreement may be executed and exchanged using facsimile, portable document format (PDF) or electronic signature, which, in each case, shall constitute an original signature for all purposes hereunder and (iii) such signature by the Company will be binding against the Company and will create a legally binding agreement when this Agreement is countersigned by the Participant.

The Company shall indemnify, and advance Expenses (as hereinafter defined) to, Indemnitee (a) as provided in this Agreement and (b) (subject to the provisions of this Agreement) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in effect on the date hereof and as amended from time to time. The rights of Indemnitee provided under the preceding sentence shall include, but shall not be limited to, the rights set forth in the other Sections of this Agreement.
3.
Proceedings Other Than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 3 if, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status (as hereinafter defined), Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding (as hereinafter defined), other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to this Section 3, Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify Indemnitee with respect to, and hold Indemnitee harmless from and against, all Expenses, judgments, liabilities, losses, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

Exhibit 10.3

4.
Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 4 if, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 4, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses) reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company.
5.
Partial Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a party to (or a participant in) and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in defense of such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section 5 and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter. In addition, for purposes of this Section 5, settlement of any such claim, issue or matter prior to a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to such Proceeding, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter; provided, however, that any settlement of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding shall not be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter if such settlement is effected by Indemnitee without the Company’s prior written consent. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion to which Indemnitee is entitled.

 

 

 

6.
Indemnification for Additional Expenses.
a.
The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within seven (7) business days of such request) advance such Expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for (i) indemnification or

 

2


Exhibit 10.3

advance payment of Expenses by the Company under this Agreement or any other agreement or by-law of the Company now or hereafter in effect; or (ii) recovery under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advance expense payment or insurance recovery, as the case may be.
b.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a witness (or is forced or asked to respond to discovery requests) in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection therewith.
7.
Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall advance all reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding within seven (7) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay any Expenses advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. Indemnitee shall repay such amounts advanced if and to the extent that it shall ultimately be determined in a decision by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be taken that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company for such Expenses. Such repayment obligation shall be unsecured and shall not bear interest. The Company shall not impose on Indemnitee additional conditions to advancement or require from Indemnitee additional undertakings regarding repayment.
8.
Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.
a.
To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, in compliance with Section 20 of this Agreement. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.
b.
Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 8(a) hereof, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case: (i) if a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined) in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; or (ii) if a Change of Control shall not have occurred, (A) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined), even though less than a quorum of the Board,

 

3


Exhibit 10.3

or (B) if there are no such Disinterested Directors or, if such Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee or (C) if so directed by the Board, by the stockholders of the Company; and, if it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within seven (7) days after such determination. The Company and Indemnitee shall each cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification), and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.
c.
In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 8(c). If a Change of Control shall not have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors, and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Change of Control shall have occurred, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board of Directors, in which event the preceding sentence shall apply), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within ten (10) days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 17 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 8(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the Court or by such other person as the Court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as

 

4


Exhibit 10.3

Independent Counsel under Section 8(b) hereof. The Company shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with acting pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 8(c), regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed, and if such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed by Indemnitee or the Court, shall provide such Independent Counsel with such retainer as may requested by such counsel. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 10(a)(iii) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).
d.
Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Company jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. After notice from the Company to Indemnitee of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any legal or other Expense subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his or her own counsel in such action, suit or Proceeding, but the Expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by the Company, (ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action, or (iii) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the Expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any action, suit or Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which Indemnitee shall have made the conclusion provided for in (ii) above; and The Company shall not be liable to indemnify any Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim affected without the Company’s written consent. The Company shall not settle any action or claim in any manner which would impose any cost, penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold their consent to any proposed settlement.
9.
Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.
a.
In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification or the advancement of expenses hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification or the advancement of expenses in accordance with Section 8(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof

 

5


Exhibit 10.3

to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption. Neither the failure of the Company (including its board of directors or independent legal counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its board of directors or independent legal counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
b.
If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 8 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(b) shall not apply (i) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the stockholders pursuant to Section 8(b) of this Agreement and if (A) within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Company of the request for such determination the Board of Directors has resolved to submit such determination to the stockholders for their consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be held within seventy-five (75) days after such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (B) a special meeting of stockholders is called within fifteen (15) days after such receipt for the purpose of making such determination, such meeting is held for such purpose within sixty (60) days after having been so called and such determination is made thereat, or (ii) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 8(b) of this Agreement.
c.
The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

6


Exhibit 10.3

d.
Reliance as Safe Harbor. For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Company or relevant enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Company or relevant enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Company or relevant enterprise or on information or records given in reports made to the Company or relevant enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company or relevant enterprise. The provisions of this Section 9(d) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.
e.
Actions of Others. The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company or relevant enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.
10.
Remedies of Indemnitee.
a.
In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 8(b) of this Agreement within 90 days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 6 or 7 of this Agreement within seven (7) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification is not made within seven (7) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or any other court of competent jurisdiction, of his entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 10(a); provided, however, that the foregoing clause shall not apply in respect of a proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce his rights under Section 5 of this Agreement. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.
b.
In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 8(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 10 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and

 

7


Exhibit 10.3

Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. If a Change of Control shall have occurred, in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 10, the Company shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be.
c.
If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 8(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 10, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.
d.
In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 10, seeks a judicial adjudication of or an award in arbitration to enforce his rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Company, and shall be indemnified by the Company against, any and all expenses (of the types described in the definition of Expenses in Section 17 of this Agreement) reasonably incurred by him in such judicial adjudication or arbitration, but only if he prevails therein. If it shall be determined in said judicial adjudication or arbitration that Indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification or advancement of expenses sought, the expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication or arbitration shall be appropriately prorated. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within seven (7) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor) advance such expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advance of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors’ or officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of Expenses or insurance recovery, as the case may be.
e.
The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 10 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.
11.
Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation.
a.
The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, the By-Laws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of

 

8


Exhibit 10.3

this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in the Delaware General Corporation Law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Company’s By-Laws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.
b.
The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to purchase and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies with A.M. Best ratings of “A” or better, providing Indemnitee with coverage for any liability asserted against, and incurred by, Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, or arising out of Indemnitee’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify Indemnitee against such liability. Such insurance policies shall have coverage terms and policy limits at least as favorable to Indemnitee as the insurance coverage provided to any other director or officer of the Company. If the Company has such insurance in effect at the time it receives from Indemnitee any notice of the commencement of an action, suit, proceeding or other claim, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such action, suit, proceeding or other claim to the insurers and take such other actions in accordance with the procedures set forth in the policy as required or appropriate to secure coverage of Indemnitee for such action, suit, proceeding or other claim. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such action, suit, proceeding or other claim in accordance with the terms of such policy. The Company shall continue to provide such insurance coverage to Indemnitee for a period of at least ten (10) years after Indemnitee ceases to serve as a director or an officer or in any other Corporate Status.
c.
In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit or enforce such rights.
d.
The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

 

9


Exhibit 10.3

e.
The Company’s obligation to indemnify or advance expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.
12.
Duration of Agreement.
a.
This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of: (i) 10 years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director and/or executive officer of the Company (or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which Indemnitee served at the request of the Company); or (ii) the final termination of any Proceeding then pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement relating thereto.
b.
This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) and Indemnitee. Indemnitee specifically acknowledges that Indemnitee’s employment with the Company (or any of its subsidiaries), if any, is at will, and Indemnitee may be discharged at any time for any reason, with or without cause, except as may be otherwise provided in any written employment contract between Indemnitee and the Company (or any of its subsidiaries), other applicable formal severance policies duly adopted by the Board, or, with respect to service as a director or officer of the Company, by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws, and Delaware General Corporation Law. The foregoing notwithstanding, this Agreement shall continue in force as provided above after Indemnitee has ceased to serve as a director and/or executive officer of the Company.
c.
This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and his heirs, executors and administrators.
13.
Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be

 

10


Exhibit 10.3

invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.
14.
Exception to Right of Indemnification or Advancement of Expenses. Except as provided in Section 6(a) of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding brought by Indemnitee (other than a Proceeding by Indemnitee to enforce his rights under this Agreement), or any claim therein, unless the bringing of such Proceeding or making of such claim shall have been approved by the Board of Directors.
15.
Identical Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.
16.

Exhibit 10.3

whether brought by or in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which Indemnitee was, is, may be or will be involved as a party or otherwise, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company, by reason of any action taken by him or of any inaction on his part while acting as director or officer of the Company, or by reason of the fact that he is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise; in each case whether or not he is acting or serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification or advancement of expenses can be provided under this Agreement; except one (i) initiated by an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement to enforce his right under this Agreement or (ii) pending on or before the Effective Date.
18.
Enforcement.
a.
The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director and/or officer of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director and/or officer of the Company.
b.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.
19.
Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
20.
Notice by Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder. Any failure by Indemnitee to notify the Company will relieve the Company of its advancement or indemnification obligations under this Agreement only to the extent the Company can establish that such omission to notify resulted in actual and material prejudice to it which cannot be reversed or otherwise eliminated without any material negative effect on the Company, and the omission to notify the Company will, in any event, not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to indemnify Indemnitee otherwise than under this Agreement. If, at the time of receipt of any such notice, the Company has director and officer insurance policies in effect, the Company will promptly notify the relevant insurers in accordance with the procedures and requirements of such policies.
