DP Poland's Chief Executive Officer, Nils Gornall, said: "2024 was a pivotal year as we advanced our transformation strategy and laid the foundation for long-term success. Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment and a record prior year comparison, we delivered sustained, robust sales growth and enhanced our store network through accelerated expansion and optimisation, and continued progress on our franchising strategy ." "In Poland, we achieved a third consecutive year of double-digit like-for-like (LFL) system sales growth, with a 17.9% increase versus 2023. This performance was driven by a significant rise in order volumes and successful customer acquisition initiatives. Our refined pricing strategy and enhanced customer value proposition delivered record-breaking sales and orders, firmly positioning the business for continued momentum into 2025." "Notably, 2024 marked a milestone as the Group achieved consistent pre-IFRS16 EBITDA profitability in Poland, reflecting our disciplined approach to cost management, a strengthened and optimised store footprint and a debt-free balance sheet. The Q1 2025 acquisition of Pizzeria 105 fast-tracks our journey toward operating 200 Domino's stores and accelerated our shift to a franchisee-led model, positioning the Group for sustained performance in 2025."

The group currently manages 120 Domino's locations in cities and towns throughout both countries. In addition to operating 90 Pizzeria 105 outlets across Poland Chairman's Statement I am very proud of the successful and profitable execution of our High Volume Mentality strategy throughout 2024. Together with the recent acquisition of Pizzeria 105, we are positioned to become the leading player in the Polish pizza sector in the coming years. To support this growth, DP Poland successfully completed a ��20.5 million fundraise in April 2024, with the objective to expand to 200 Domino's stores within three years. 2024 marked the third consecutive year of robust sales growth, coupled with an accelerated rollout of new stores. The team's focus on maintaining high-quality products and services, combined with disciplined cost management, has strengthened store economics and significantly improved Group adjusted EBITDA profitability. The outstanding debt to Malaccan was repaid in full in 2024, strengthening our balance sheet. This improved profitability has set the foundation for a transition to a franchise-led model, a move expected to bolster growth and enhance returns. Store profitability is the key to this success, and I am delighted with the significant progress made in 2024. The strategic acquisition of Pizzeria 105, the fourth-largest pizza brand in Poland, which operates a 100% franchised network of 90 locations, is an exciting move towards establishing Domino's as the market leader in Poland. The acquisition fast-tracks our transition toward a predominantly franchised, capital-efficient model, whilst enhancing our brand visibility through an expanded network of stores and a growing national advertising fund that scales with the network. The acquisition is highly complementary and unlocks further efficiencies in food costs, technology, and logistics. I am pleased that the founder of Pizzeria 105 will stay on as a shareholder, to support franchisee store conversion and bring valuable local knowledge and expertise. Together, we are committed to reinforcing the Domino's brand in Poland and unlocking valuable growth opportunities for our new franchise partners. Lastly, I would like to commend our exceptional Executive Team, led by CEO Nils Gornall, whose dedication has been instrumental to our success. I also extend my gratitude to all our employees, whose daily contributions are vital to the continued growth of our business and the satisfaction of our customers. I would also like to thank our shareholders for their ongoing support as we continue to drive growth and enhance profitability. I am confident in the opportunities that lie ahead for 2025 and beyond. David Wild Non-Executive Chairman 26 June 2025 Chief Executive's Review 2024 was a pivotal year for DP Poland, as we advanced our transformation strategy and laid the foundation for long-term success. Our continued growth across Poland and Croatia reflects the strength of our strategy, the power of the Domino's brand, and the excellence of our teams. We made significant progress in embedding a High Volume Mentality across the Group, delivering double-digit sales growth, optimising our store network, and unlocking further gains in profitability - with Group adjusted EBITDA increasing by 38% year-on-year ("YoY"). In Poland, we achieved a third consecutive year of double-digit LFL sales growth, increasing by 17.9% in local currency, fuelled by higher order volumes and new customer acquisition. In 2024, we refined our marketing approach, enhanced customer value, and set new records in both sales and orders, positioning us for sustained success in 2025. To maintain our competitive market position, we implemented targeted price adjustments throughout the year, resulting in a 4.4% increase in average ticket value. Customer satisfaction remained strong, reflecting continued improvements in service quality and operational efficiency. Notably, our Net Promoter Score (NPS) among regular customers rose by 29.3% in 2024 compared to 2023, further strengthening the Domino's brand. Despite intensified promotional campaigns in Q4 2024 from major players in the Polish Quick Service Restaurant sector impacting the Company's volume growth for the quarter, orders significantly increased YoY exceeding 800 orders per store per week in 2024 (a 13% increase compared to 2023). This success has been driven by our relentless focus on quality, operational excellence, and the impact of best-in-class marketing campaigns. While we already offer one of the most compelling delivery services in Poland, we continue to pursue every opportunity to improve delivery times further - strengthening a key pillar of our competitive advantage In 2024, cost management was a key focus. Initiatives, such as fleet electrification, commissary upgrades, and enhancements across the supply chains delivered meaningful savings. Cost pressures also eased on energy, rent and utilities costs, with a reduction in inflation in both Poland and Croatia. Sales growth combined with our cost optimisation efforts and lower inflation led to a significant improvement of the Group financial performance, with Group adjusted EBITDA rising to ��4.8m (2023 restated: ��3.5m). Our store network optimisation plan resulted in four refurbishments, the opening of eleven new locations, and the strategic closure of eight underperforming loss-making stores, mainly in shopping centers - bringing the total number of stores to 118 by year-end. In March 2025 we acquired Pizzeria 105, a profitable, cash generating business, that accelerates our plan to operate 200 Domino's stores in Poland by the end of 2027 and unlock the longer-term potential for 500+ locations. The acquisition drives market consolidation, giving Domino's greater control over market dynamics and pricing. Pizzeria 105 brings further scale to the Group, while unlocking advantages in procurement, distribution costs, marketing, digital technologies and HQ. The transaction is expected to enhance brand visibility with additional presence in 31 new Polish cities and represents an excellent fit, with minimal market overlap, and comparable sales distribution across the delivery, carryout, and dine-in segments. The acquisition fast tracks our strategic shift toward a franchisee-led model, with 76 experienced franchisees entering into the system, with over half of the store network now franchise-operated. In parallel, our Domino's corporate store sell-down programme resulted in five Polish corporate stores transitioning to franchise owned in the second half of 2024. Following the acquisition of Pizzeria 105, and through a combination of organic growth and the conversion of Pizzeria 105 locations, we now aim to end 2025 with approximately 150 Domino's branded stores, 20 more than previously communicated. 4 new stores have been opened in 2025 so far. Looking ahead, the Group plans to add a further 40 stores in 2026, bringing the total to 190 locations by the end of 2026. Our actions during 2024 and post period end have strengthened our brand presence, increased customer traffic and enhanced store-level profitability, laying a solid foundation for future growth and profitability. I remain very optimistic about the outlook. Our goal to become Poland's and Croatia's leading pizza brand is firmly on track, with a fast transition to a franchisee-led model and continued improvements in Group adjusted EBITDA profitability. We are well-positioned to build on the strong foundation we've established and drive further growth. Nils Gornall Chief Executive Officer 26 June 2025 Chief Financial Officer's Review I'm pleased to report on the financial performance of the Group for 2024, which has been another year of outstanding growth and strategic progress for DP Poland. This success was marked by the effective implementation of our High Volume Mentality strategy, the accelerated rollout of new stores, the optimisation of our store network, and the expansion of our franchising network. This strategy resulted in a double-digit sales increase, driven by rising order volumes and new customer acquisition. Group System Sales increased by 19.8% to ��55.2 million. This significant growth was primarily driven by an 11.4% increase in LFL Group order count. Additionally, we revised our pricing strategy in Q4 2024, maintaining the Company's competitive positioning. Despite the sharpened pricing strategy, customer satisfaction ratings remained strong, validating the improvements in both the quality and speed of our service. Poland was a key driver of growth, with a 17.9% increase in LFL System Sales, primarily driven by a 12.2% increase in LFL order count. In Croatia, the expansion was also impressive, with System Sales increasing by 40.1%, alongside a 6.0% growth in LFL System Sales. Inflationary pressures eased in the second half of 2024, which bolstered our profitability as input costs' growth slowed. Inflation in Poland had declined to 3.6% by year-end. In 2024, DP Poland made a full repayment of the outstanding Loan Notes from Malaccan Holdings Ltd, leaving the company debt-free as of the end of 2024. At the year-end, our portfolio included 118 stores (113 in Poland and 5 in Croatia), with the dominant delivery business contributing two-thirds of sales. We opened 11 stores and closed 8 locations. The expansion of our franchising model was also initiated in Poland, with the transfer of 5 stores to new franchise partners in 2024, resulting in 13 stores being sub-franchised by the year-end. The expanded and optimised store network, coupled with the development of our franchising model, positions us strongly for sustained growth in both corporate-owned and franchised stores into 2025 and beyond.

Group revenue rose by 20.2% year-over-year, with LFL Group system sales growth reaching 20.1%, largely due to a significant 11.4% increase in LFL Group order count. This improvement was primarily driven by the High Volume Mentality strategy, the introduction of new products and better ingredient quality - all contributing to higher customer satisfaction and repeat business. Performance in 2024 showed consistent quarter-over-quarter improvement, achieving record-breaking levels in both sales and orders in Q4, as detailed in the Key Performance Indicators section later in this announcement. Expenses Pressures on energy, rent and utilities costs eased in H2 2024 and inflation in Poland declined to 3.6% by year-end. Through our continued focus on cost, DP Poland successfully kept the increase in operating costs (18.7% YoY) below revenue growth during the year (20.2% YoY). This achievement was facilitated through various cost optimisation initiatives, including fleet electrification, commissary upgrades, and supply chain improvements, which have delivered material savings. While inflation eased in 2024, wage inflation remained high, leading to a 20.5% minimum wage increase and a consequent 19.2% rise in payroll and social charges costs YoY. Other non-cash, non-recurring and non-operating items The Group recorded non-cash, non-recurring and non-operating items, notably one-off VAT refund in Dominium S.A. for the years 2013-2016. Other non-cash, non-recurring and non-operating items included dismantling provision, written off balances with counterparties, costs incurred for stores closures, costs of merging DP Polska S.A. and Dominium S.A. planned for the second half of 2025, advisors and other expenses related to acquisition and other immaterial components. Please find the breakdown of other non-cash and non-recurring items below. Currency: �� Nature 2024 2023 Restated Vat refund Non-recurring 660,391 174,989 Costs incurred for non-operating stores Non-operating (180,953) - Written down balances with counterparties Non-cash (193,514) (115,968) Dismantling provision Non-cash (111,590) (120,706) Investments advisors and other costs Non-recurring (379,783) (42,453) Sub-franchisee loan write-off Non-cash (67,876) - Other non-cash and non-recurring items Non-cash and non-recurring (70,130) (18,509) Total (343,455) (122,647) Depreciation and amortisation Depreciation and amortisation expenses consist mainly of the right of use assets depreciation charges amounting to ��2,375,255 in 2024 (2023 restated: ��2,963,676), property, plant and equipment amounted to ��1,615,688 (2023: ��1,487,836) and intangible assets amortisation amounted to ��668,012 (2023: ��832,009). The decrease in depreciation related to right of use assets in 2024 compared to 2023 is mainly attributable to impairment of stores as at 31 December 2023. Finance costs Finance costs of the Group mainly comprise interest expense on lease liabilities of ��574,127 (2023 restated: ��594,787), interest paid on the loan note issued to Malaccan Holdings Ltd of ��232,731 (2023: ��460,554) and other interests of ��76,654 (2023: ��50,852). The lower interest on the Malaccan loan in 2024 compared to 2023 resulted from full repayment made in December 2024. Taxation The Group paid no corporation tax in 2024 and 2023 due to brought forward losses. As the Group has unused tax losses available to offset against future profits, it does not expect to pay any corporation tax in 2025. Group loss for the period Group loss after tax for the period decreased by 89% compared to 2023 mainly due to improved Group adjusted EBITDA and impairment of non-current assets partially offset by other non-cash items and store pre-opening costs. The Board has an accelerated growth strategy focused on expanding the store's rollout and transitioning to a franchise model to drive future profit growth. The robust performance in 2024 has laid a solid foundation for our next phase of growth. Transitioning to a franchise model is expected to support scalable growth, requiring fewer capital investment, lowering overhead costs, and enhancing Group adjusted EBITDA profitability . Our objective is to scale operations and increase market share, positioning ourselves as a market leader in Poland and Croatia. To facilitate this, we plan to streamline internal processes in the supply chain and back office, including the merger of Dominium S.A. and DP Polska S.A., expected in 2025, and further investments in digital transformation.

Macro-economic conditions in Poland and Croatia Polish GDP increased by 2.9% YoY in 2024. Inflationary pressure declined in 2024 and amounted to 3.6% YoY.

Sales in 2024 from sub-franchised stores amounted to ��4,366,402 (2023: ��2,793,080) and are included in the System Sales figure. Going concern The Board considered the Group's forecasts, in particular those relating to the growing sales volume and improved cost management, to satisfy itself that the Group has sufficient resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. The Group sales and costs forecasts are based on market-available data with regard to the country's inflation and GDP growth rates as well as historical level of sales volumes and incurred costs as a percentage of sales taking into account implemented High Volume Mentality, accelerated growth strategy through the store rollout, increased focus on internal processes optimisation and digital transformation. As inflationary pressure began to abate in 2024, the Board believes that the major risks connected with inflation are diminishing, which has already been reflected in the decreasing growth rate of energy, rent and utilities prices with the forecast for further decrease of growth rates. On the other hand, the Board has prepared a roadmap for a number of different strategic and operational projects aiming at optimization of internal processes in supply chain, change in the Group structure, as well as further investments into digital transformation. The Board acknowledges the uncertainty related to the future dynamics of the commodity prices and inflationary pressures, which remain the most pronounced risks to our going concern assumptions. In April 2024 the Group raised gross proceeds of approximately ��20.5 million through the subscription by Domino's Pizza Group plc ("DPG"), the placing of shares through an accelerated bookbuild process and the placing of a retail offer. The net proceeds of the fundraising receivable by the Group are being mainly used to accelerate its growth strategy through the roll out of stores in Poland and Croatia, acquisition of Pizzeria 105, upgrade of stores in Poland, and full repayment of loan notes. In December 2024, the Group fully repaid the outstanding Loan notes from Malaccan Holdings Ltd, amounting to ��7.1 million, using the proceeds raised from the fundraising. As a result, the Group achieved a debt-free balance sheet as of the 2024 year-end. Net cash position of the Group as of 31 December 2024 amounted to ��11.3 million (not taking into account lease liabilities), out of which the acquisition of Pizzeria 105 has been financed (total consideration of ��8.5 million). Having considered the Group's cash flows and its liquidity position, and after reviewing the forecast for the next twelve months and beyond, taking into account reasonable possible changes in trading performance, the Directors believe that the Group has adequate resources to continue operations for the foreseeable future and for this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES Authorisation of financial statements and statements of compliance with IFRSs The DP Poland plc Group and Company financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 were authorised for issue by the Board of the Directors on 26 June 2025 and the balance sheets were signed on the Board's behalf by Nils Gornall and Edward Kacyrz. DP Poland plc is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in England & Wales. The Company's ordinary shares are traded on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange. Basis of preparation The financial information set out in this report does not constitute the Company's statutory annual report and accounts for the years ended 31 December 2024 or 2023 but is derived from the 2024 annual report and accounts. Statutory accounts for 2023 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and those for 2024 will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies following Notice of the Annual General Meeting. The auditor has reported on the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024; its report was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying the report and (iii) did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or section 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006. Both the Group financial statements and the Company financial statements have been prepared and approved by the directors in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards, IFRIC Interpretations and the Companies Act 2006. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. An additional line item for 'Group adjusted EBITDA - excluding non-cash items, non-recurring, non-operating items and store pre-opening expenses' has been presented on the face of the income statement as the Board believes this presentation is relevant to the understanding of the Group's financial performance and is a useful indicator for the underlying cash generated from operations. The accounting policies which follow set out those policies which apply in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. The Group and Company financial statements are presented in Sterling. The assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries, whose functional currency is Polish Zloty and Euro, are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date and their income statements are translated at the average rate for the year. Differences arising from the translation of the opening net investment in the subsidiary are taken to reserves and reported in the Group statement of comprehensive income. Basis of consolidation The Group financial statements comprise the financial statements of DP Poland plc, its subsidiary undertakings and the Employee Benefit Trust ("EBT") drawn up to 31 December of each year, using consistent accounting policies. Subsidiary undertakings have been included in the Group financial statements using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly the Group Income Statement and Group Statement of Cash Flows include the results and cash flows of subsidiaries from the date of acquisition. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of their acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date such control ceases. Control comprises the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee so as to obtain benefit from its activities and is achieved through direct or indirect ownership of voting rights; currently exercisable or convertible potential voting rights; or by way of contractual agreement. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the parent Company, using consistent accounting policies. All inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from them, are eliminated on consolidation. The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognised in profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity securities. Restatements of comparative period financial information The following changes have been made to the comparative period presented within these financial statements: # Description Amount 1 Impairment of Dominium goodwill �� Decrease in goodwill due to impairment (3,144,880) Retained earnings 2,983,549 Translation reserve 161,331 2 Restatement of right of use assets and lease liabilities �� Increase in right of use assets 1,167,722 Increase in lease liabilities (581,987) Increase in depreciation charge 551,519 Decrease in interest expense on lease liabilities (16,690) Increase in foreign exchange gains (137,440) Decrease in IFRS 16 adjustment costs (343,725) Decrease in rent expenses 17,118 Retained earnings (625,652) Translation reserve (30,865) 3 Impairment of non-current assets �� Decrease in right of use assets due to impairment (960,505) Decrease in property, plant and equipment due to impairment (443,312) Decrease in intangible assets due to impairment (22,552) Increase in impairment loss 1,368,980 Translation reserve 57,389 Adjustment 1 was made to restate the amount of goodwill in Dominium S.A., which has been impaired as of 1 January 2023. The impact of this restatement on net assets and equity amounted to ��3,144,880. Adjustment 2 was made to restate right-of-use assets and lease liabilities due to prior period errors and changes in incremental borrowing rates. These changes were prompted by the implementation of a system solution for IFRS 16 calculations and a review of the input data used since the initial adoption of IFRS 16 in 2019. As review has been made for the periods 2019-2023, this restatement impacts both equity and Group Income Statement for 2023. The impact of this restatement on net assets amounted to ��585,735, income statement amounted to ��70,782 and equity amounted to ��656,517. Adjustment 3 relates to the impairment of fixed assets of the Group, including right-of-use assets, property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets. In 2024, the Group changed its approach to identifying cash-generating units for impairment testing, moving from a country-based approach to a city-cluster-based approach. The prior period figures were also recalculated accordingly. This restatement has an impact of ��1,426,369 on net assets, ��57,389 on equity and ��1,368,980 on Group Income Statement. Within the 2023 Group Balance Sheet, this has resulted in a decrease to total assets of ��3,403,527, an increase to total liabilities of ��581,987 and a decrease to total net assets of ��3,985,514, with a corresponding decrease to total equity. Within the 2023 Group Income Statement, this has resulted in a ��1,439,762 increase to loss for the period due to impact in relation to 2023 and an increase of loss per share to (0.70) p. The impact of the restatement on the Group equity and net assets as at 1 January 2023 amounted to ��2,357,897. The restatement had no impact on the 2023 Company Balance Sheet or Income Statement. Reclassifications of comparative period financial information The following reclassification has been made to comparative period Group Income Statement: �� Reclassification of non-current assets write-off due to potential store closures amounted to ��973,351 from Other non-cash, non-recurring and non-operating items to Impairment of non-current assets. The following reclassification has been made to comparative period Group Statement of Cash Flows: �� Reclassification of VAT refund - interests amounted to ��181,792 from Cash flows from operating activities to Cash flows from investing activities. Adoption of new and revised standards The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Group financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, except for the adoption of new standards, interpretations, and amendments to standards effective as of 1 January 2024. The amendments and interpretations below were applied in 2024 and had no significant impact on the accounting policies applied: - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current liabilities with covenants - Amendments to IAS 1. New standards and interpretations not applied Below amendments to standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2025 and earlier application is permitted. The Group has not early adopted the new or amended standards in preparing these consolidated financial statements: Effective for the periods beginning on or after: International Accounting Standards ('IAS') - Exchangeability of Currencies - Amendments to IAS 21 1 January 2025 - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments - Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 1 January 2026 - IFRS 18 'Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements' 1 January 2027 It is expected that the standards will not have a material impact on the Group. Intangible assets Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are carried initially at cost. An intangible asset acquired as part of a business combination is recognised outside goodwill if the asset is separable or arises from contractual or other legal rights and its fair value can be measured reliably. Intangible assets with a finite life are amortised and charged to administrative expenses on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives, as follows: �� Franchise fees and intellectual property rights: over the duration of the legal agreement; �� Computer software: 2 to 5 years from the date when the software is brought into use; and �� Capitalised loan discounts: the life of sub-franchise agreements of 10 years. The carrying value of intangible assets is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Franchise fees consist of the cost of purchasing the Master Franchise Agreement (MFA) from Domino's Pizza Overseas Franchising B.V. capitalized in 2021 as a result of reverse acquisition and MFA between AAP and Domino's Pizza International Franchising Inc. capitalized in 2022 following AAP acquisition. Goodwill Goodwill is initially measured at cost and any previous interest held over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognised at the acquisition date. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. The Group performs impairment reviews at the reporting period end to identify any goodwill that has a carrying value that is in excess of its recoverable amount. Determining the recoverability of goodwill requires judgement in both the methodology applied and the key variables within that methodology. Where it is determined that goodwill is impaired, the carrying value of goodwill will be reduced to its recoverable amount with the difference recorded as an impairment charge in the income statement. In accordance with IAS 36, the Group has tested goodwill for impairment at the reporting date. No goodwill impairment was deemed necessary as at 31 December 2024. For further details on the impairment review please refer to note 12. Fixtures, fittings and equipment Fixtures, fittings and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. Leasehold property comprises leasehold improvements including shopfitting and associated costs. Depreciation Depreciation is provided on all tangible non-current assets at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value based on prices prevailing at the balance sheet date, of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life, as follows: Leasehold property - over the expected lease term Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 3 to 10 years The carrying values of tangible non-current assets are reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The asset's residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end. Assets Under Construction Assets under construction comprise the cost of tangible fixed assets in respect of stores that have not yet opened and therefore no depreciation has yet been charged. Depreciation will be charged on the assets from the date that they are available for use. Impairment The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash-generating unit's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use for right of use assets and fair value less costs to sell for all other non-current assets, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a post-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in the income statement under the expense category: Depreciation, amortisation and impairment. An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such a reversal is recognised in the income statement unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. In the current reporting period, the Group refined its approach to the identification of cash-generating units (CGUs) in the context of impairment testing. While in prior periods all assets were tested at the country level, in the current year right-of-use (ROU) assets are tested at the city cluster level to reflect the specific cash inflows generated by individual stores. All other assets, including goodwill, property, plant and equipment, and intangibles, continue to be assessed at the country level. This updated approach was implemented to enhance the transparency and accuracy of the impairment testing. Financial instruments Financial instruments are measured initially at cost, which is the fair value of whatever was paid or received to acquire or incur them. Financial assets All of the Group's financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows which are solely payments of principals and interest and therefore classified as subsequently measured at amortised cost. Financial assets at amortised cost are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date. These are classified as non-current assets. The Group's financial assets at amortised cost comprise trade and other receivables, loans to sub-franchisees and cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet. Loans to sub-franchisees are provided below market interest rates. The difference between the present value of loans recognised and the cash advanced has been capitalised as an intangible asset in recognition of the future value that will be generated via the royalty income and Commissary sales that will be generated. These assets are amortised over the life of a new franchise agreement of 10 years. The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses ('ECLs') for all financial assets. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or as financial liabilities measured at amortised cost. Financial liabilities at amortised cost comprise trade and other payables, loans and accruals. Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value net of directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. For the purpose of the consolidated and company cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Inventories comprise food and packaging goods for resale. The Group applies a first in first out basis of inventory valuation. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Foreign Currency Translation Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement. The results and financial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: a) assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet; b) income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and c) all resulting exchange differences are recognised within other comprehensive income as a separate component of equity. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations are recognised in other comprehensive income. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. Employee share incentive plans The Group issues equity-settled share-based payments to certain employees (including Directors). These payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant by use of a Black-Scholes model. Vesting is dependent on performance conditions other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of DP Poland plc (market conditions). In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of these performance conditions. This fair value cost of equity-settled awards is recognised on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group's estimate of shares that will eventually vest. No cost is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest. Leases The Group as a lessee At the balance sheet date, the Group leased 124 stores, three offices, three commissaries and a number of vehicles. Leases for land and buildings are normally for an initial term of 5 years with an option to renew thereafter. Lease payments are subject to regular rent reviews to reflect market rates. The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets (such as tablets and personal computers). For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee uses its incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise: �� Fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable; �� Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date; �� The amount expected to be paid by the lessee under residual value guarantees; �� The exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and �� Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the consolidated balance sheet. The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made. The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day, less any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Whenever the Group incurs an obligation for costs to dismantle and remove a leased asset, restore the site on which it is located or restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, a provision is recognised and measured under IAS 37. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease. The right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line in the consolidated balance sheet. The Group applies IAS 36 to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in the 'Property, Plant and Equipment' policy. Variable rents that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability and the right-of-use asset. The related payments are recognised as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs and are included in operating expenses in profit or loss. As a practical expedient, IFRS 16 permits a lessee not to separate non-lease components, and instead account for any lease and associated non-lease components as a single arrangement. The Group has not used this practical expedient. For a contract that contain a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components. The Group as lessor The Group enters into lease agreements as an intermediate lessor with respect to stores operated by sub-franchisees. Leases for which the Group is a lessor are classified as finance or operating leases. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases. When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for the head lease and the sublease as two separate contracts. The Group evaluates and classifies these subleases as either operating leases or finance leases. Where the sublease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards arising from right-of-use assets from the head lease, the right-of-use asset from head lease is derecognised and a lease receivable equal to the net investment in the sublease is recognised. Where the sublease does not transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards arising from right-of-use asset from the head lease, the sublease is classified as an operating lease and rent received is recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Current tax Current tax is the amount of income tax payable on the taxable profit for the period. Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amounts expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax Deferred tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts with the exception of: - Where the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss. - For taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interest in joint ventures and where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax balances are not discounted. Capital instruments Ordinary shares are classified as equity instruments. Other instruments are classified as liabilities if they contain an obligation to transfer economic benefits and if not they are included in equity. The finance costs recognised in the Income Statement in respect of capital instruments other than equity shares are allocated to periods over the term of the instrument at a constant rate on the carrying amount applying the effective interest method. Capital reserve - own shares DP Poland plc shares which are held within the Company's employee benefit trust, for the purpose of providing share-based incentives to Group employees are classified as shareholders' equity as 'Capital reserve - own shares' and are recognised at cost. No gain or loss is recognised in the income statement on the purchase or sale of such shares. Revenue recognition The Group recognises revenue from the following major sources: �� Corporate store sales; �� Royalties, franchise fees and sales to franchisees; and �� Rental income on leasehold property. Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control of a product or service to a customer. The criteria for recognising revenues are set out in note 2. Finance income Revenue is recognised as interest accrues applying the effective interest method. Going concern In forming their views, the Directors have prepared cash flow forecasts for a 12-month period following the date of signing the balance sheet and beyond. As part of the preparation of these forecasts, the Directors have estimated the likely outcome for the number of new stores opened. Before entering into a contract to acquire a new site, the Directors ensure that the Group has sufficient working capital available to allow the completion of the outlet. In April 2024 the Group has raised gross proceeds of approximately ��20.5 million through the subscription by Domino's Pizza Group plc, the placing of shares through an accelerated bookbuild process and the placing of retail offer. The net proceeds of the fundraising receivable by the Group are being mainly used to accelerate its growth strategy through the roll out of stores in Poland and Croatia, acquisition of Pizzeria 105, upgrade of stores in Poland, and full repayment of loan notes from Malaccan Holdings Ltd. Based on the above, the Directors believe that the Group has adequate resources to continue operations for the foreseeable future. Accounting estimates and judgements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with UK-adopted international accounting standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and judgements. It also requires management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Judgements Determining the lease term Leases are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of terms and conditions, such as early termination clauses and renewal rights. Termination clauses and renewal rights are used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the Group's operations. In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise a renewal right, or not exercise a termination clause. An adjustment to the lease term is only made if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended or not terminated, i.e. when there is a significant event of change in circumstances as per para 20 of IFRS 16. Estimation uncertainties Impairment The Group's determination of whether non-current assets and investments in subsidiary undertaking are impaired requires an estimation of the value in use (for right of use assets) and the fair value less costs of disposal (for the other non-current assets) of the cash generating units to which the relevant asset or investment is allocated . This requires estimation of future cash flows and the selection of a suitable discount rate. The recoverable amount of the cash generating unit has been determined based on the value in use (for right of use assets) and the fair value less costs of disposal (for the other non-current assets) calculated using discounted future cash flows, which are subject to significant estimates due to the growth phase of the business. Future cash flows are based on the Group's business plan. The calculation of the fair value is most sensitive to the following assumptions: store performance; discount rates; store openings in Poland and Croatia; foreign exchange rates. The discount rate reflects management's estimate of the return on capital employed for the investment in Poland and Croatia. The store openings are based on the current business model being used by management, which is progressing in line with expectations. The parent company's investment in Polish subsidiaries, i.e., DP Polska S.A. and Dominium S.A., had a historical cost of ��39.7m. With effect from 29 July 2022, the Company became the legal parent of All About Pizza d.o.o. The parent company's investment in Croatian subsidiary had a historical cost of �� 2.4m. The Group has determined that no impairment in the investment value should be recognised in the accounts of DP Poland plc as at 2024 year-end. Sensitivity analysis has been performed to highlight the impact of assumptions on Polish and Croatian CGU. A 100bps increase in the discount rate reduces headroom to ��1.4m for Polish and ��3 for Croatian CGU. A 100bps decrease in the perpetual growth rate reduces headroom to ��2.5m for Polish and ��3.1m for Croatian CGU Amortised cost of sub-franchisee loan receivables The Group's determination of the amortised cost of sub-franchisee loan receivables at initial recognition requires the estimation of the initial fair value of the below-market rate loans provided to the franchisees. Recoverability of such loans is an ongoing estimation uncertainty and is sensitive to changes in circumstances and of forecast economic conditions. The Group's historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may also not be representative of sub-franchisees' actual default in the future. Lease liability - estimating an incremental borrowing rate The Group cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Group 'would have to pay', which requires estimation when no observable rates are available or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease. The Group estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market risk-free rates and country risk premium) and adds entity-specific premiums. 2. REVENUE Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. All of the revenue is derived in Poland and Croatia. Corporate store sales: Contracts with customers for the sale of products to end consumers include one performance obligation. The Group has concluded that revenue from the sale of products should be recognised at a point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the consumer, which is the point of delivery or collection. Sales of materials and services to sub-franchisees: Contracts with franchisees for the sale of products include one performance obligation, being the delivery of products to the end franchisee. The Group has concluded that revenue from the sale of products should be recognised at a point in time when control of the goods are transferred to the franchisee, generally on delivery. Revenue is recognised at the invoiced price less any estimated rebates. Royalties received from sub-franchisees: The performance obligation relating to royalties is the use of the Domino's brand. This represents a sales-based royalty with revenue recognised at the point where the franchisee makes a sale to an end consumer. Rental income on leasehold property: Rental income arising from leasehold properties where the lease is an operating lease is recognised on a straight-line basis in accordance with the lease terms. Rental payments are recognised over the period to which they relate. Under IFRS 16 'leases' rents received under finance leases are treated as capital repayments and interest receipts and are excluded from revenues. Core revenues are ongoing revenues including sales to the public from corporate stores, sales of materials and services to sub-franchisees, royalties received from sub-franchisees and rents received from sub-franchisees. Other revenues are non-recurring transactions such as the sale of stores, fittings and equipment to sub-franchisees. Revenue is further analysed as follows: 2024 2023 �� Corporate store sales 50,662,418 43,132,392 Royalties received from sub-franchisees 428,438 255,376 Sales of materials and services to sub franchises 1,570,846 1,009,090 Rental income on leasehold property 325,029 226,125 Fixtures and equipment sales to sub-franchisees 656,811 - 53,643,542 44,622,983 Revenue by country: 2024 2023 �� Poland 50,534,248 42,342,887 Croatia 3,109,294 2,280,096 53,643,542 44,622,983 3. SEGMENTAL REPORTING The Board monitors the performance of the corporate stores and the commissary operations separately and therefore those are considered to be the Group's two operating segments. Corporate store sales comprise sales to the public. Corporate store sales include sales of Poland and Croatia cash generating units, which are presented in Note 2 above. Commissary operations comprise sales to sub-franchisees of food, services and fixtures and equipment. Commissary operations also include the receipt of royalty income, rental income on leasehold property from sub-franchisees and sale of stores (there are 5 stores sold to sub-franchisees in 2024 in Poland). The Board monitors the performance of the two segments based on their contribution towards Group EBITDA - excluding non-cash items, non-recurring and non-operating items and store pre-opening expenses. In accordance with IFRS 8, the segmental analysis presented reflects the information used by the Board. No separate balance sheets are prepared for the two operating segments and therefore no analysis of segment assets and liabilities is presented.

LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO MEMBERS OF PARENT COMPANY Loss relating to transactions in the financial statements of the parent company was ��766,695 (2023: ��324,525). 11. LOSS PER SHARE The loss per ordinary share has been calculated as follows: 2024 2024 2023 2023 �� Restated Weighted average number of shares Profit / (loss) after tax Weighted average number of shares Profit / (loss) after tax Basic 857,136,184 (512,088) 710,680,973 (4,982,031) Diluted 857,136,184 (512,088) 710,680,973 (4,982,031) The weighted average number of shares for the year excludes those shares in the Company held by the employee benefit trust. At 31st December 2024 the basic and diluted loss per share is the same, as the vesting of JOSS, SIP or share option awards would reduce the loss per share and is, therefore, anti-dilutive. 12. GOODWILL Cost Group Restated �� At 1 January 2023 12,392,291 Foreign exchange movements (5,148) At 31 December 2023 12,387,143 Foreign exchange movements (12,877) At 31 December 2024 12,374,266 Carrying amount Group �� At 31 December 2024 12,374,266 The goodwill recognised by the accounting acquirer is equal to the consideration (as determined under IFRS 3) which was paid by the accounting acquirer less the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired with the accounting acquiree. The goodwill recognised is allocated to Polish entities and Croatia entity cash generating unit and is made up by the expected synergies of the enlarged business and management expertise brought by new Chief Executive Officer and Non-Executive Director to DP Poland PLC's business. In accordance with IAS 36 the Group has performed impairment review of goodwill at the reporting period end. The impairment test has been undertaken by assessment of the recoverable amount of the CGU to which the goodwill has been allocated, against the carrying value of this CGU. The review included discounted cash flow projections to determine the recoverability of goodwill and the intangible assets. We compared the carrying amount of the assets, inclusive of assigned goodwill, to its respective fair value less costs of disposal. Significant assumptions inherent in the valuation methodologies for goodwill are employed and include, but are not limited to, prospective financial information, growth rates, terminal value and discount rates. Prospective sales and costs forecasts are made for the following five years (i.e., FY25-FY29) and are based on market-available data with regard to country GDP growth rates, inflation, price trends of main cost items, as well as on historical level of sales volumes and incurred costs as a percentage of sales, taking into account implemented High Volume Mentality, digital platform development and increased focus on operations excellence. The discount rate is reviewed annually to take into account the current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGU and rates used by comparable companies. The discount rate for Poland CGU used to calculate fair value is 12.1%. The discount rate for Croatia CGU used to calculate fair value is 14.1%. Costs are reviewed for inflation and other cost pressures. The long-term growth rate used was 2.5% for Poland CGU and 2.0% for Croatia CGU. Based on this quantitative test, we determined that the fair value of assets including goodwill exceeded its carrying amount. After completing our annual impairment reviews, we concluded that goodwill was not impaired. The recoverable amount is not deemed to be sensitive to a decrease in growth rate and an increase in discount rate. Decreasing growth rate by 1% and increasing discount rate by 1% would still leave headroom between the carrying value of the goodwill and the recoverable amount. 13.

As at 31.12.2024 net book value of MFA amounted to ��416,533 with remaining amortization period of 11 years. Master Franchise Agreement between AAP and Domino's Pizza International Franchising Inc. have been capitalized in 2022 and is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. As there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which Master Franchise Agreement is expected to generate net cash inflows for the entity, the Group identified Master Franchise Agreement to have an indefinite useful life. MFA is allocated to AAP cash generating unit. Net book value of AAP MFA amounted to ��1,371,183 as at 31.12.2024. The difference between the present value of loans to sub-franchisees recognised and the cash advanced has been capitalised as an intangible asset and are amortised over the life of sub-franchise agreements of 10 years. The Group has performed an annual impairment test and the recoverable amount of Polish and Croatian cash generating units have been determined based on fair value calculated using discounted future cash flows based on the business plan, and incorporating the Directors' estimated discount rate (12.1% for Polish CGU and 14.1% for AAP CGU), future store openings and the average Polish Zloty and Euro exchange rate for the year ended 31 December 2024. The fair value calculation indicates that no impairment is required. As at 31 December 2024, no reasonably anticipated change in the assumptions would give rise to a material impairment charge. Sensitivity analysis has been performed to highlight the impact of assumptions on Polish CGU: - a 100bps increase in the discount rate reduces headroom to ��8.2m, - a 100bps decrease in the perpetual growth rate reduces headroom to ��9.3m, - a 100bps increase in the discount rate and a 1000bps decrease in the perpetual growth rate reduces headroom to ��5.8m. Sensitivity analysis has been performed to highlight the impact of assumptions on AAP CGU: - a 100bps increase in the discount rate reduces headroom to ��2.0m, - a 100bps decrease in the perpetual growth rate reduces headroom to ��2.2m, - a 100bps increase in the discount rate and a 1000bps decrease in the perpetual growth rate reduces headroom to ��1.6m. 14.

The Company's and the Group's capital structure represent the equity attributable to shareholders of the company together with borrowings and cash and cash equivalents. Market risk Market risk is the risk that arises from movements in stock prices, interest rates, exchange rates, and commodity prices. Market risk for the 31 December 2024 year end is reflected within the currency risk and interest rate risk which are discussed further below. Currency Risk The foreign currency risk stems from the Company and the Group's foreign subsidiary which trades in Poland and Croatia and whose revenues and expenses are mainly denominated in local currencies. Additionally, some Company and Group transactions are also denominated in US Dollar. The Company and the Group are therefore subject to foreign currency risk due to exchange rate movements that will affect the Company and the Group's operating activities and the Company and the Group's net investment in its foreign subsidiaries. In each case where revenues of the Group are in a foreign currency, there is a material match between the currency of each operating company's revenue stream, primary assets, debt and debt servicing (if applicable). The Group does not currently use derivatives to hedge balance sheet and income statement translation exposures arising on the consolidation of overseas subsidiaries. The carrying amount in Sterling of the Group's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities at the reporting dates areas follows: 2024 2023 Assets �� Polish Zlotys 11,318,675 5,010,961 Euro 718,531 727,248 Sterling 3,711,242 449,113 US dollar - 384 Liabilities Polish Zlotys 14,022,977 14,371,684 Euro 1,321,674 8,049,241 Sterling 147,324 94,764 US dollar - 112,673 Sensitivity analysis The potential impact on Group net loss and equity reserves from a 20% weakening of the Polish Zloty, Euro and US dollar against sterling affecting the reported value of financial assets and liabilities would be an increased net loss and reduction in Group reserves of ��661,489. 2024 2023 �� 20% weakening of Polish Zloty (540,860) (1,872,294) 20% weakening of Euro (120,629) (1,464,399) 20% weakening of US dollar - (22,458) (661,489) (3,359,151) A depreciation of 20% has been selected for the analysis as an illustration on the basis that it is a reasonable estimate of a likely market fluctuation. An appreciation of 20% against Sterling would produce an equal and opposite effect. Interest Rate Risk The Company and the Group do not possess any financial instruments with floating interest rates in 2024, hence interest rate risk is not applicable to the Group. Credit Risk Exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognised at the balance sheet date, namely cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and loans to sub franchisees. The Company and the Group manage its exposure to this risk by applying Board-approved limits to the amount of credit exposure to any one counterparty and employs minimum credit worthiness criteria as to the choice of counterparty, thereby ensuring that there are no significant concentrations of credit risk. All sub-franchisees who are provided with loans from the Group have been through the franchisee selection process, which is considered to be sufficiently robust to ensure an appropriate credit verification procedure. The credit risk for liquid funds and other short-term financial assets is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings. Impairment of financial assets The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses ('ECLs') for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms. ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures, for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). For trade receivables the Group applies a simplified approach to calculating ECLs and recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision procedure that is based on the percentage cost if insuring its receivables against loss from default. Historic credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors, the economic environment and relevant security and guarantees from sub-franchisees are also taken into account. The Group considers that there has been a significant increase in credit risk when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due. The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 180 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows. The movement in the allowance for doubtful debts during the year is as follows: 2024 2023 �� Balance at 1 January 291,680 280,220 Reversal of previously recognised impairment loss (1,889) (3,542) Foreign exchange movements (9,204) 15,002 Balance at 31 December 280,587 291,680 Set out below is the information about the credit risk exposure on the Group's trade receivables as at 31 December: Current <30 days 30-60 days 61-90 days >91 days Total �� 31 December 2024 1,503,784 12,580 37,523 2,188 5,256 1,561,331 31 December 2023 1,125,735 0 2,077 314 0 1,128,126 The Group seeks to manage financial risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs and to invest cash assets safely and profitably. Surplus funds are invested on a short-term basis at money market rates and therefore such funds are available at short notice. 28.

EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE Exercise of Options On 3 March 2025 750,000 share options granted to former Directors of the Company were exercised. Strategic Acquisition of Pizzeria 105 in Poland On 26 March 2025, DP Polska S.A. entered into a share purchase agreement pursuant to which DP Polska S.A. acquired the entire issued share capital of the Pizzeria 105, a franchised quick service pizza restaurant business that operates 90 locations across Poland. The total consideration for the shares in Pizzeria 105 amounted to PLN 42.3 million (c. ��8.5 million). Simultaneously the seller of Pizzeria 105, Marcin Ciesielski has agreed to re-invest one third of the Consideration through its family office, MC Family Fundacja Rodzinna, equating to c.PLN 13.4 million (c.��2.7 million) by subscribing for 23,582,322 new ordinary shares of 0.5 pence each in the Company at the subscription price of 11.4 pence per Ordinary Share. Pizzeria 105 is a franchised, quick service pizza restaurant business, 100% franchised with 90 stores and 76 franchisees. The acquisition accelerates the Group's strategic plan to expand to 200 stores, surpassing competitors and positioning Domino's on a path to becoming the leading pizza quick service restaurant in Poland. Change of Registered Office Address and Secretary On 1 April 2025 registered address of DP Poland was changed from 1 Chamberlain Square Cs, Birmingham, England, B3 3AX to C/O Almond & Co, 11 York Street, Manchester, M2 2AW with effect from 01 April 2025. Further, Almond CS Limited has been appointed as the corporate secretary of the Group. 33. VAT Dominium is a party to a number of court and administrative proceedings, the subject of which is to determine the amount of VAT paid by the company for the period 2011-2016. The disputes relate to the rate at which VAT is applied on sales made by Dominium, which is something that is affecting a number of companies operating in the fast food sector in Poland (including DP Polska). Dominium were applying a lower (5 per cent) rate of VAT on sales, whereas the tax authorities in Poland were of the opinion that a higher (8 per cent) rate should have been applied instead. As a result, Dominium have retrospectively applied the higher (8 per cent) rate for this period and have made additional VAT payments to cover the shortfall to the tax authorities in Poland. Dominium has been trying to recover additional VAT payments paid because of a higher rate. All disputes have been resolved in favour of Dominium as at 2024 year-end. In 2022 Dominium has received the VAT refund for the year 2011 in the amount PLN 2,275,615 (approximately ��414,011). In 2023 Dominium has received the VAT refund for the year 2012 in the amount of PLN 1,863,040 (approximately ��356,781). In 2024 Dominium has received the VAT refund for the years 2013-2016 in the amount PLN 4,964,718 (approximately ��975,943, including interest of ��315,551). Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, one half of any amounts that have been overpaid in respect of the application of the higher VAT rate and which may be refunded by the Polish tax authorities to Dominium shall be paid by the Group to Malaccan Holdings Ltd.
