4. Recapitalization

 

On June 25, 2003, the Company, together with its parent and subsidiaries, consummated a recapitalization transaction (the “2003 Recapitalization”) whereby the Company:

 

  (1)   issued and sold $403.0 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of 8¼% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the “2011 Notes”) at a discount resulting in gross proceeds of $400.1 million;
  (2)   borrowed $610.0 million in term loans and secured a $125.0 million revolving credit facility (collectively the “2003 Senior Credit Facility”); and
  (3)   used the proceeds from the 2011 Notes, borrowings under the 2003 Senior Credit Facility and cash from operations to:

 

    purchase an aggregate of $206.7 million principal amount of its 10 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 (the “2009 Notes”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $236.7 million;

 

    repay all amounts outstanding under the previous senior credit facility;

 

    distribute amounts to its parent to redeem all of its outstanding 11.5% Cumulative Preferred Stock for an aggregate redemption price of approximately $200.5 million;

 

    distribute amounts to its parent to pay a dividend on its outstanding common stock in the aggregate amount of approximately $188.3 million;

 

    make compensatory make-whole payments to specified parent shareholders and Company officers, directors and employees who hold parent stock options in the aggregate amount of approximately $12.4 million; and

 

    pay related transaction fees and expenses.

 

The 2003 Recapitalization, including the transactions described above, will be recorded in the third fiscal quarter of 2003.

 

The tables below present condensed consolidating financial information for the applicable periods for: (1) Domino’s, Inc.; (2) on a combined basis, the guarantor subsidiaries of the 2011 Notes, which includes most of the domestic subsidiaries of the Company and one foreign subsidiary of the Company; and (3) on a combined basis, the non-guarantor subsidiaries of the 2011 Notes.

Revenues

 

Revenues include retail sales by Company-owned stores, royalties and fees from domestic and international franchise stores, and sales of food, equipment and supplies by our distribution centers to certain domestic and international franchise stores.

 

Consolidated revenues increased $1.1 million or 0.4% to $295.2 million in the second quarter of 2003, from $294.1 million in the comparable period in 2002, and increased $5.4 million or 0.9% to $607.5 million in the first two quarters of 2003, from $602.1 million in the comparable period in 2002. These increases in revenues were due primarily to increases in international revenues, offset in part by decreases in domestic stores revenues. Additionally, revenues for the first two quarters of 2003 were positively impacted by an increase in domestic distribution revenues. These results are more fully described below.

 

Domestic Stores

 

Domestic stores are comprised of domestic Company-owned store operations and domestic franchise operations, as summarized in the following table.

Domestic stores revenues decreased $2.3 million or 1.9% to $118.2 million in the second quarter of 2003, from $120.5 million in the comparable period in 2002, and decreased $2.4 million or 1.0% to $242.6 million in the first two quarters of 2003, from $245.0 million in the comparable period in 2002. These decreases in revenues were due primarily to decreases in same store sales at our domestic stores during 2003. Same store sales for domestic stores decreased 0.3% and 0.8% in the second quarter and first two quarters of 2003, respectively, compared to the same period in 2002.

Domestic Company-Owned Stores

 

Revenues from domestic Company-owned store operations decreased $2.6 million or 2.9% to $85.9 million in the second quarter of 2003, from $88.5 million in the comparable period in 2002, and decreased $2.6 million or 1.4% to $175.8 million in the first two quarters of 2003, from $178.4 million in the comparable period in 2002. These decreases in revenues were due primarily to decreases in same store sales. Same store sales for domestic Company-owned stores decreased 2.9% and 4.3% in the second quarter and first two quarters of 2003, respectively, compared to the same period in 2002. There were 579 and 583 domestic Company-owned stores in operation as of June 15, 2003 and June 16, 2002, respectively.

 

Domestic Franchise

 

Revenues from domestic franchise operations increased slightly in the second quarter and first two quarters of 2003 from the comparable period in 2002. These increases in revenues were due primarily to increases in the average number of domestic franchise stores open during 2003. There were 4,283 and 4,223 domestic franchise stores in operation as of June 15, 2003 and June 16, 2002, respectively. Same store sales for domestic franchise stores remained relatively flat, increasing 0.1% in the second quarter of 2003 and decreasing 0.2% in the first two quarters of 2003, compared to the same period in 2002.

 

Domestic Distribution

 

Revenues from domestic distribution operations decreased slightly in the second quarter of 2003 from the comparable period in 2002 and increased $1.6 million or 0.5% to $322.1 million in the first two quarters of 2003, from $320.5 million in the comparable period in 2002. This increase in revenues in the first two quarters of 2003 was due primarily to increases in volumes, offset by a market decrease in overall food basket prices, including lower cheese prices. The cheese block price per pound averaged $1.11 and $1.12 in the second quarter and first two quarters of 2003, respectively, compared to $1.22 and $1.24 in the comparable period in 2002.

 

International

 

Revenues from international operations increased $3.6 million or 18.8% to $22.4 million in the second quarter of 2003, from $18.8 million in the comparable period in 2002, and increased $6.1 million or 16.8% to $42.8 million in the first two quarters of 2003, from $36.7 million in the comparable period in 2002. These increases in revenues were due in part to increases in same store sales and in the average number of international stores open during 2003. On a constant dollar basis, same store sales increased 2.6% and 3.5% in the second quarter and first two quarters of 2003, respectively, compared to the same period in 2002. On a historical dollar basis, same store sales increased 6.0% and 6.3% in the second quarter and first two quarters of 2003, respectively, compared to the same period in 2002. The 2003 same store sales results indicate that the U.S. Dollar was generally weaker against the currencies of those countries in which we compete, as compared to the same period in 2002. There were 2,429 and 2,290 international stores in operation as of June 15, 2003 and June 16, 2002, respectively.

 

Cost of Sales / Operating Margin

 

The consolidated operating margin, which we define as revenues less cost of sales, increased slightly in the second quarter of 2003 and decreased slightly in the first two quarters of 2003 from the comparable period in 2002, as summarized in the following table.

Consolidated cost of sales is comprised primarily of domestic Company-owned store and domestic distribution costs incurred to generate related revenues. Components of consolidated cost of sales primarily include food, labor and occupancy costs.

Table of Contents

Consolidated cost of sales increased $0.8 million or 0.4% to $216.6 million in the second quarter of 2003, from $215.8 million in the comparable period in 2002, and increased $5.5 million or 1.2% to $446.6 million in the first two quarters of 2003, from $441.1 million in the comparable period in 2002. These net increases in consolidated cost of sales were driven in part by cost of sales changes at domestic Company-owned stores and domestic distribution, as more fully described below.

 

Domestic Company-Owned Stores

 

The domestic Company-owned store operating margin decreased $2.7 million or 13.1% to $18.3 million in the second quarter of 2003, from $21.0 million in the comparable period in 2002, and decreased $6.3 million or 14.5% to $37.2 million in the first two quarters of 2003, from $43.5 million in the comparable period in 2002, as summarized in the following table.

Cost of sales increased as a percentage of store revenues in the second quarter and first two quarters of 2003, compared to the comparable period in 2002, due primarily to increases in food, labor and occupancy costs.

 

As a percentage of store revenues, food costs increased 0.4% to 26.4% in the second quarter of 2003, from 26.0% in the comparable period in 2002, and increased 0.9% to 26.7% in the first two quarters of 2003, from 25.8% in the comparable period in 2002. These increases in food costs as a percentage of store revenues were due primarily to a change in product mix per order as a result of certain promotions and new product introductions, offset in part by a market decrease in overall food prices, including cheese. As a percentage of store revenues, labor costs remained flat at 30.1% in the second quarter of 2003, compared to the same period in 2002, and increased 0.5% to 30.3% in the first two quarters of 2003, from 29.8% in the comparable period in 2002. This increase primarily reflects the impact of decreased same store sales and the resulting effects on the fixed portion of store labor and, to a lesser extent, increased average wage rates at our stores. As a percentage of store revenues, occupancy costs, which include rent, telephone, utilities and depreciation, increased 1.5% to 10.6% in the second quarter of 2003, from 9.1% in the comparable period in 2002, and increased 1.4% to 10.2% in the first two quarters of 2003, from 8.8% in the comparable period in 2002. These increases in occupancy costs were due primarily to increases in store operating costs including, telephone, utilities and depreciation. This increase in depreciation is primarily a result of recent investments in our stores including the implementation of a new point of sale system as well as significant investments in the re-imaging of substantially all of our stores.

 

Domestic Distribution

 

The domestic distribution operating margin increased $0.6 million or 3.5% to $17.9 million in the second quarter of 2003, from $17.3 million in the comparable period in 2002, and increased $2.7 million or 7.8% to $37.7 million in the first two quarters of 2003, from $35.0 million in the comparable period in 2002. These results are summarized in the following tables.

Cost of sales as a percentage of distribution revenues was positively impacted by increases in volumes, efficiencies in the areas of operations and purchasing as well as reductions in certain commodity prices, including cheese. Reductions in certain food prices have a positive effect on the distribution operating margin as a percentage of distribution revenues due to the fixed dollar margin earned by domestic distribution on sales of certain food items, including cheese. Had cheese prices remained constant with 2002 levels, the domestic distribution operating margin for the second quarter and first two quarters of 2003 would have been approximately 11.3% and 11.4% of distribution revenues, respectively, or 0.3% less than the reported amounts for each of the second quarter and first two quarters of 2003.

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses decreased $8.1 million or 17.0% to $39.4 million in the second quarter of 2003, from $47.5 million in the comparable period in 2002, and decreased $11.3 million or 12.4% to $80.3 million in the first two quarters of 2003, from $91.6 million in the comparables period in 2002. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased 2.8% to 13.3% in the second quarter of 2003, from 16.1% in the comparable period in 2002, and decreased 2.0% to 13.2% in the first two quarters of 2003, from 15.2% in the comparable period in 2002. These improvements in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were due in part to management’s continued focus on controlling overhead costs, including decreases in administrative labor, and decreases in depreciation and amortization. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2002, the Company expensed approximately $5.3 million of certain capitalized software costs.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense decreased $2.7 million or 19.5% to $11.0 million in the second quarter of 2003, from $13.7 million in the comparable period in 2002, and decreased $3.8 million or 14.2% to $23.4 million in the first two quarters of 2003, from $27.2 million in the comparable period in 2002. These decreases in interest expense were due primarily to decreases in related variable interest rates on our senior credit facility borrowings and reduced debt levels. The Company repaid $21.4 million of debt in the first two quarters of 2003.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

Provision for income taxes increased $4.5 million to $10.8 million in the second quarter of 2003, from $6.3 million in the comparable period in 2002, and increased $5.8 million to $21.5 million in the first two quarters of 2003, from $15.7 million in the comparable period in 2002.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We had working capital of $16.3 million and cash and cash equivalents of $51.7 million at June 15, 2003. Historically, we have operated with minimal or negative working capital primarily because our receivable collection periods and inventory turn rates are faster than the normal payment terms on our current liabilities. In addition, our sales are not typically seasonal, which further limits our working capital requirements. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and availability of borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We expect to fund planned capital expenditures and debt repayments from these sources.

 

As of June 15, 2003, we had $580.7 million of long-term debt, of which $3.8 million was classified as a current liability. There were no borrowings under our $100 million revolving credit facility. Letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility were $21.8 million. These letters of credit are primarily related to our casualty insurance programs and distribution center leases. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are available to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.

 

Cash provided by operating activities was $60.5 million and $52.4 million in the first two quarters of 2003 and 2002, respectively. The $8.1 million increase was due primarily to a $9.2 million increase in net income.

 

Cash used in investing activities was $9.6 million and $47.2 million in the first two quarters of 2003 and 2002, respectively. The $37.6 million decrease was due primarily to a $21.9 million decrease in acquisitions of franchise operations and a $13.1 million decrease in capital expenditures. The decrease in acquisitions of franchise operations is due primarily to the Company’s purchase of our franchise operations in Arizona in the first quarter of 2002 (the “Arizona Acquisition”).

 

Cash used in financing activities was $21.8 million and $41.6 million in the first two quarters of 2003 and 2002, respectively. The $19.8 million decrease was due primarily to a $9.7 million decrease in distributions to parent primarily relating to the Arizona Acquisition and a $10.7 million decrease in repayments of long-term debt.

On June 25, 2003, the Company, together with its parent and subsidiaries, consummated a recapitalization transaction which included, among other things, the issuance and sale by Domino’s, Inc. of $403.0 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of 8¼% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the “2011 Notes”) and borrowings by Domino’s, Inc. of $610.0 million in term loans. The Company also secured a $125.0 million revolving credit facility (together with the term loans, the “2003 Senior Credit Facility”). The Company used the proceeds from these borrowings and cash from operations to:

 

    purchase an aggregate of $206.7 million principal amount of its 10 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 (the “2009 Notes”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $236.7 million;

 

    repay all amounts outstanding under the previous senior credit facility;

 

    distribute amounts to its parent to redeem all of its outstanding 11.5% Cumulative Preferred Stock for an aggregate redemption price of approximately $200.5 million;

 

    distribute amounts to its parent to pay a dividend on its outstanding common stock in the aggregate amount of approximately $188.3 million;

 

    make compensatory make-whole payments to specified parent shareholders and Company officers, directors and employees who hold parent stock options in the aggregate amount of approximately $12.4 million; and

 

    pay related transaction fees and expenses.

 

The 2011 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 8¼% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1, commencing on January 1, 2004. Prior to July 1, 2006, the Company may redeem, at a fixed price, up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2011 Notes with the proceeds of equity offerings, if any, by the Company or its parent. Prior to July 1, 2007, the Company may also redeem the 2011 Notes, as a whole, but not in part, upon the occurrence of a change in control, as defined in the 2011 Notes. Beginning July 1, 2007, the Company may redeem all or a part of the 2011 Notes at fixed redemption prices, ranging from 104.125% of par in 2007 to 100% of par in 2009 and thereafter. In the event of a change in control, as defined in the 2011 Notes, the Company will be obligated to repurchase the 2011 Notes tendered by the holders at a fixed price. The 2011 Notes are guaranteed by most of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries as well as one foreign subsidiary.

 

The 2003 Senior Credit Facility consists of $610.0 million in term loans expiring in June 2010 and a $125.0 million revolving credit facility expiring in June 2009. The agreement requires annual amortization of the term loans, made in equal quarterly payments, of $10.0 million in 2003, $30.0 million in 2004, $45.0 million in 2005, $60.0 million in 2006, $75.0 million in 2007, $85.0 million in 2008, $95.0 million in 2009 and $210.0 million in 2010. The 2003 Senior Credit Facility contains certain financial and non-financial covenants and is guaranteed by the Company’s parent and most of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and one foreign subsidiary. The 2003 Senior Credit Facility is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company. Borrowings under the 2003 Senior Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin not to exceed 300 basis points.

 

Based upon the current level of operations and anticipated growth, we believe that the cash generated from operations and amounts available under the revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet our anticipated debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for the next several years. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available under the senior credit facility or through other sources to enable us to service our indebtedness, including the senior credit facility and the senior subordinated notes, or to make anticipated capital expenditures. Our future operating performance and our ability to service or refinance the senior subordinated notes and to service, extend or refinance the senior credit facility will be subject to future economic conditions and subject to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Additionally, the Company may be requested to provide funds to TISM, Inc., our parent company (“TISM”), for stock dividends, stock repurchases, distributions and/or other cash needs of TISM.

Item  3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Market Risk

 

The Company is exposed to market risks from interest rate changes on our variable rate debt. Management actively monitors this exposure. The Company does not engage in speculative transactions nor does it hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

 

Interest Rate Derivatives

 

The Company may enter into interest rate swaps, collars or similar instruments with the objective of reducing volatility relating to our borrowing costs.

 

The Company is party to an interest rate collar and four interest rate swap agreements which effectively convert the variable Eurodollar component of the effective interest rate on a portion of the Company’s debt under its senior credit facility to various fixed rates over various terms. These agreements are summarized as follows:

 

Derivative


 

Total

Notional Amount


  

Term


 

Rate


Interest Rate Collar

  $70.0 million    June 2001—June 2003  

3.86%—Floor

6.00%—Ceiling

Interest Rate Swap

  $70.0 million    June 2001—June 2004   4.90%

Interest Rate Swap

  $35.0 million    September 2001—September 2003   3.645%

Interest Rate Swap

  $35.0 million    September 2001—September 2004   3.69%

Interest Rate Swap

  $75.0 million    August 2002—June 2005   3.25%

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The Company’s variable interest expense is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates. As of June 15, 2003, a portion of the Company’s debt is borrowed at Eurodollar rates plus a blended margin rate of 2.25%. As of June 15, 2003, the weighted average interest rate on our $77.3 million of variable interest debt was 3.54%.

 

The Company had total interest expense of approximately $23.4 million in the first two quarters of 2003. The estimated increase in interest expense for this period from a hypothetical 200 basis point adverse change in applicable variable interest rates would be approximately $0.7 million.

 

Item  4.   Controls and Procedures

 

a.   Within 90 days prior to the date of the filing of this report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14.
