    Definition:

The Company uses "same store sales growth," calculated including only sales from stores that also had sales in the comparable period of the prior year, but excluding sales from certain seasonal locations such as stadiums and concert arenas. International same store sales growth is calculated similarly to domestic same store sales growth. Changes in international same store sales are reported on a constant dollar basis which reflects changes in sales in international local currency.

David A. Brandon, Chairman and CEO, said, "2005 marked our twelfth consecutive year without a negative domestic or international same store sales comparison. This accomplishment speaks volumes about the stability of our company, the strength of our brand and the resolve of our franchisees and team members. I would also like to thank and congratulate our Team USA group for the impressive job they did this year improving the performance of our domestic company-owned stores. For the first time in several years, their same store sales increase outpaced that of our domestic franchisees. This is truly a noteworthy outcome, since Domino's franchisees are strong, results- oriented owner-operators who set an incredibly high performance level for Team USA to achieve."
