DP Poland, the operator of Domino's Pizza stores in Poland and Croatia, says trading is in line with market expectations after like-for-like sales returned to growth in September.
Poland total system sales rose 10.4% in the third quarter and 14.4% in the nine months to September, driven primarily by a higher average ticket value.
Like-for-like system sales grew 0.6% in Q3, recovering from softer trading in July and August to return to positive territory by September.
Order volumes remain a focus, with like-for-like system orders declining 7.2% in the quarter as the group works to rebuild its carry-out channel.
Croatia continued to perform strongly, with total system sales up 35.3% in Q3 and 34.7% year-to-date, supported by network expansion.
The franchise conversion programme is progressing to plan, with four additional corporate stores converted and one new franchised store opened during Q3.
Total franchised stores now stand at 58, representing 42% of the 140-strong network, with management targeting more than 50% franchise ownership by the end of 2026.
The group is also integrating its Pizzeria 105 estate into the Domino's brand, refining the conversion process to improve unit economics and franchisee appeal.
A new customer app is expected to launch in Q4, aimed at improving the ordering experience and supporting profitable order growth.
Chief executive Łukasz Ostrowski said cash remained stable through the quarter and that the board expects full-year trading to meet current market expectations.
