Jubilant FoodWorks said that pace of expansion in profitability in Q4 March 2016 was moderated owing to same store sales growth (SSG) that stood below potential due to unfavorable macro conditions. Earnings during Q4 also reflect the influence of higher tax on account of investment allowance benefit of only one year as against that of two years in the corresponding period last year, along with higher depreciation witnessed on the back of commissioning of new commissaries, last year. The revenues in Q4 March 2016 showed momentum on account of growth in customer base on the back of wider outreach for company's Domino's Pizza and Dunkin' Donuts networks. Incremental share of orders from the online platform also aided growth in revenues. Gains from new product launches which served to draw in new set of customers and building momentum in SSG for Domino's Pizza on an expanded base of restaurants also helped generate higher revenues.

Jubilant FoodWorks and its subsidiary operates Domino's Pizza brand with the exclusive rights for India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
