Accounting Policies [Abstract]
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business Domino’s Pizza, Inc. (“DPI”), a Delaware corporation, conducts its operations and derives substantially all of its operating income and cash flows through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Domino’s, Inc. (“Domino’s”) and Domino’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Domino’s Pizza LLC (“DPLLC”). DPI and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “the Company”) are primarily engaged in the following business activities: (i) retail sales of food through Company-owned Domino’s Pizza stores; (ii) sales of food, equipment and supplies to Company-owned and franchised Domino’s Pizza stores through Company-owned supply chain centers; and (iii) receipt of royalties and fees from domestic and international Domino’s Pizza franchisees. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DPI and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to December 31. The 2017 fiscal year ended on December 31, 2017, the 2016 fiscal year ended on January 1, 2017 and the 2015 fiscal year ended on January 3, 2016. The 2017 and 2016 fiscal years consisted of fifty-two Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents Restricted cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2017 includes $122.9 million of cash and cash equivalents held for future principal and interest payments, $32.1 million of cash equivalents held in a three-month interest reserve, $36.7 million of cash held as collateral for outstanding letters of credit and $0.1 million of other restricted cash. Restricted cash and cash equivalents at January 1, 2017 includes $99.8 million of cash and cash equivalents held for future principal and interest payments and $26.7 million of cash equivalents held in a three-month interest reserve. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out 2017 2016 Food $ 36,645 $ 36,644 Equipment and supplies 3,316 3,537 Inventories $ 39,961 $ 40,181 Other Assets Current and long-term other assets primarily include prepaid expenses such as insurance, rent and taxes, deposits, notes receivable, as well as covenants not-to-compete Property, Plant and Equipment Additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.Depreciation and amortization expense is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Estimated useful lives, other than the estimated useful life of the capital lease assets as described below, are generally as follows (in years): Buildings 20 Leasehold and other improvements 7 – 15 Equipment 3 – 15 Included in land and buildings as of December 31, 2017 and January 1, 2017 are capital lease assets of approximately $4.3 million and $4.7 million, which are net of $6.2 million and $5.8 million of accumulated amortization, respectively, related to the lease of a supply chain center building and the lease of a Company-owned store. The capital lease assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over the respective lease terms. Depreciation and amortization expense on property, plant and equipment was approximately $29.6 million, $27.3 million and $24.1 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Impairments of Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates the potential impairment of long-lived assets at least annually based on various analyses including the projection of undiscounted cash flows and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. For Company-owned stores, the Company performs this evaluation on an operating market basis, which the Company has determined to be the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of other cash flows. If the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds the amount of the expected future undiscounted cash flows of that asset, the Company estimates the fair value of the assets. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized and the asset is written down to its estimated fair value. The Company did not record any impairment losses on long-lived assets in 2017, 2016 or 2015. Investments in Marketable Securities Investments in marketable securities consist of investments in various mutual funds made by eligible individuals as part of the Company’s deferred compensation plan (Note 7). These investments are stated at aggregate fair value, are restricted and have been placed in a rabbi trust whereby the amounts are irrevocably set aside to fund the Company’s obligations under the deferred compensation plan. The Company classifies and accounts for these investments in marketable securities as trading securities. Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs are recorded as a reduction to the Company’s debt balance and primarily include the expenses incurred by the Company as part of the 2015 and 2017 Recapitalizations (Note 4). Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis (which is materially consistent with the effective interest method) over the expected term of the respective debt instrument to which the costs relate and is included in interest expense. In connection with the 2012 Recapitalization, the Company recorded approximately $39.9 million of debt issuance costs. In connection with the 2015 Recapitalization, the Company expensed approximately $6.9 million of these costs in connection with the extinguishment of $551.3 million of the 2012 Fixed Rate Notes (Note 4). In connection with the 2017 Recapitalization, the Company expensed the approximately $5.5 million in remaining unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the extinguishment of the remaining $910.2 million of the 2012 Fixed Rate Notes. Additionally, in connection with the 2015 and 2017 Recapitalizations, the Company recorded $17.4 million and $16.8 million of debt issuance costs, respectively, which are being amortized into interest expense over the five and ten-year In connection with the aforementioned write-off Goodwill The Company’s goodwill amounts primarily relate to franchise store acquisitions and are not amortized. The Company performs its required impairment tests in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and did not recognize any goodwill impairment charges in 2017, 2016 or 2015. Capitalized Software Capitalized software is recorded at cost and includes purchased, internally-developed and externally-developed software used in the Company’s operations. Amortization expense is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the software, which range from one to seven years. Capitalized software amortization expense was approximately $14.8 million, $10.8 million and $8.3 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, scheduled amortization for the next five fiscal years was approximately $14.3 million, $9.4 million, $5.3 million, $3.3 million and $1.6 million for 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. Insurance Reserves The Company has retention programs for workers’ compensation, general liability and owned and non-owned non-owned non-owned Insurance reserves relating to our retention programs are based on undiscounted actuarial estimates. These estimates are based on historical information and on certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions for such factors as medical costs and legal actions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause these estimates to change in the near term. The Company receives estimates of outstanding insurance exposures from its independent actuary and differences between these estimated actuarial exposures and the Company’s recorded amounts are adjusted as appropriate. Other Accrued Liabilities Current and long-term other accrued liabilities primarily include accruals for income, sales, property and other taxes, legal reserves, store operating expenses, deferred rent expense, dividends payable and deferred compensation liabilities. Foreign Currency Translation The Company’s foreign entities use their local currency as the functional currency. For these entities, the Company translates net assets into U.S. dollars at year end exchange rates, while income and expense accounts are translated at average annual exchange rates. Currency translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in determining net income. Revenue Recognition Domestic Company-owned stores revenues are comprised of retail sales of food through Company-owned Domino’s Pizza stores located in the contiguous United States and are recognized when the items are delivered to or carried out by customers. Domestic franchise revenues are primarily comprised of royalties and fees from Domino’s Pizza franchisees with operations in the contiguous United States. Royalty revenues are recognized when the items are delivered to or carried out by franchise customers. Supply chain revenues are primarily comprised of sales of food, equipment and supplies to franchised Domino’s Pizza stores located in the United States and Canada. Revenues from the sales of food are recognized upon delivery of the food to franchisees, while revenues from the sales of equipment and supplies are generally recognized upon shipment of the related products to franchisees. International franchise revenues are primarily comprised of royalties and fees from Domino’s Pizza franchisees outside the contiguous United States. These revenues are recognized consistently with the policies applied for franchise revenues generated in the contiguous United States. Supply Chain Profit-Sharing Arrangements The Company enters into profit-sharing arrangements with domestic and Canadian stores that purchase all of their food from Supply Chain (Note 11). These profit-sharing arrangements generally offer Company-owned stores and participating franchisees with 50% (or a higher percentage in the case of Company-owned stores and certain franchisees who operate a larger number of stores) of their regional supply chain center’s pre-tax Advertising Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense, which relates primarily to Company-owned stores, was approximately $39.8 million, $34.5 million and $32.0 million during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Domestic Stores (Note 11) are required to contribute a certain percentage of sales to the Domino’s National Advertising Fund Inc. (“DNAF”), a not-for-profit DNAF assets, consisting primarily of cash received from franchisees and accounts receivable from franchisees, can only be used for activities that promote the Domino’s Pizza brand. Accordingly, all assets held by the DNAF are considered restricted. Rent The Company leases certain equipment, vehicles, retail store and supply chain center locations and its corporate headquarters under operating leases with expiration dates through 2033. Rent expenses totaled approximately $57.9 million, $49.9 million and $46.1 million during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Common Stock Dividends The Company declared and paid dividends of approximately $84.2 million (or $1.84 per share) in 2017, approximately $74.0 million (or $1.52 per share) in 2016 and approximately $66.5 million (or $1.24 per share) in 2015. The Company also paid dividends of $13.8 million in 2015 related to a dividend declaration in 2014. Stock Options and Other Equity-Based Compensation Arrangements The cost of all of the Company’s stock options, as well as other equity-based compensation arrangements, is reflected in the financial statements based on the estimated fair value of the awards. Earnings Per Share The Company discloses two calculations of earnings per share (“EPS”): basic EPS and diluted EPS. The numerator in calculating common stock basic and diluted EPS is consolidated net income. The denominator in calculating common stock basic EPS is the weighted average shares outstanding. The denominator in calculating common stock diluted EPS includes the additional dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, unvested restricted stock grants and unvested performance-based restricted stock grants. Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information The Company paid interest of approximately $107.4 million, $104.6 million and $80.8 million during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Cash paid for income taxes was approximately $122.6 million, $74.3 million and $80.1 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company had $4.0 million, $3.8 million and $0.8 million of non-cash non-cash New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting 2016-09 As a result, excess tax benefits or deficiencies from equity-based compensation activity are reflected in the consolidated statements of income as a component of the provision for income taxes, whereas they previously were recognized in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit. The Company also elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than to use an estimate of expected forfeitures for financial statement reporting purposes. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 The Company adopted the cash flow presentation prospectively, and accordingly, excess tax benefits from equity-based compensation of $27.2 million in fiscal 2017 are presented as an operating activity, while $48.1 million and $17.8 million of excess tax benefits from equity-based compensation in fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015, respectively, are presented as a financing activity. The presentation requirements for cash flows related to taxes paid for restricted stock upon vesting had no impact on our consolidated statements of cash flows for any of the periods presented because such cash flows have historically been presented as a financing activity. Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB and concluded the following accounting pronouncements may have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, or represent accounting pronouncements for which the Company has not yet completed its assessment. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) non-cash The Company has substantially completed its assessment of ASC 606, and the adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on its recognition of sales from Company-owned stores, ongoing royalty fees which are based on a percentage of franchise sales, revenues from its supply chain centers, development fees or technology fees. The Company has determined that the store opening fees received from international franchisees do not contain separate and distinct performance obligations from the franchise right and those upfront fees will therefore be recognized as revenue over the term of each respective franchise agreement. Currently, we recognize such fees as revenue when received. The Company does not expect this to have a material impact on its international franchise revenues. However, an adjustment to beginning retained earnings and a corresponding contract liability of approximately $15 million will be established on the date of adoption associated with the fees received through December 31, 2017 that would have been deferred and recognized over the term of each respective franchise agreement if the new guidance had been applied in the past. The Company has also determined that ASC 606 requires a gross presentation on the consolidated statement of income for franchisee contributions received by and related expenses of DNAF, our consolidated not-for-profit In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) 2016-02 2016-02 right-of-use In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-04, Liabilities – Extinguishment of Liabilities (Subtopic 405-20): 2016-04 Revenues from Contracts with Customers non-financial 2016-04 In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments 2016-13 2016-13 In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash 2016-18), 2016-18 In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 , Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 35): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment 2017-04. 2017-04 2017-04 Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECAPITALIZATIONS AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS	(4) RECAPITALIZATIONS AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS 2017 Recapitalization On July 24, 2017, the Company completed a recapitalization (the “2017 Recapitalization”) in which certain of the Company’s subsidiaries issued new notes pursuant to an asset-backed securitization. The new notes consist of $300.0 million Series 2017-1 Class A-2-I 2017-1 Class A-2-II 2017-1 Class A-2-III Ten-year 2017-1 Class A-1 A portion of the proceeds from the 2017 Recapitalization was used to repay the remaining $910.5 million in outstanding principal and interest under the Company’s 2012 Fixed Rate Notes, pre-fund 2015 and 2012 Recapitalizations The Company previously entered into refinancing transactions in October 2015 (the “2015 Recapitalization”) and in April 2012 (the “2012 Recapitalization”). In connection with the 2015 Recapitalization, the Company issued $1.3 billion aggregate principal amount of fixed rate notes consisting of $500.0 million Series 2015-1 Class A-2-I 2015-1 Class A-2-II Ten-Year 2015-1 Class A-1 A portion of the proceeds from the 2015 Recapitalization was used to make an optional prepayment of approximately $551.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2012 Fixed Rate Notes, at par, pay scheduled principal catch-up pre-fund In connection with the 2012 Recapitalization, the Company issued $1.575 billion of Series 2012-1 Class A-2 2012-1 Class A-1 2017 Notes The 2017 Notes have remaining scheduled principal payments of $19.0 million in each of 2018 through 2021, $871.8 million in 2022, $10.0 million in each of 2023 through 2026, and $907.5 million in 2027. During fiscal 2017, the Company made principal payments of approximately $4.8 million on the 2017 Notes. The legal final maturity date of the 2017 Notes is October 2047, but it is anticipated that, unless earlier prepaid to the extent permitted under the related debt agreements, the 2017 Floating Rate Notes and 2017 Five-year Fixed Rate Notes will be repaid on or prior to the anticipated repayment date occurring in July 2022, and the 2017 Ten-year The 2017 Variable Funding Notes allow for advances of up to $175.0 million and issuance of certain other credit instruments, including letters of credit. At the closing date of the 2017 Recapitalization, interest on the 2017 Variable Funding Notes was payable at a per year rate equal to LIBOR plus 180 basis points. On December 15, 2017, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into an agreement to reduce the rate from LIBOR plus 180 basis points to LIBOR plus 150 basis points. The 2017 Variable Funding Notes were undrawn at closing. The unused portion of the 2017 Variable Funding Notes is subject to a commitment fee ranging from 50 to 100 basis points depending on utilization. It is anticipated that any amounts outstanding on the 2017 Variable Funding Notes will be repaid in full on or prior to July 2022, subject to two additional one-year 2015 Notes The 2015 Notes have remaining scheduled principal payments of $13.0 million in each of 2018 and 2019, $490.5 million in 2020, $8.0 million in each of 2021 through 2024, and $732.0 million in 2025. During fiscal 2017, the Company made principal payments of approximately $6.5 million on the 2015 Notes. The legal final maturity date of the 2015 Notes is in October 2045, but it is anticipated that, unless earlier prepaid to the extent permitted under the related debt agreements, the 2015 Five-Year Notes will be repaid on or prior to the anticipated repayment date occurring in October 2020 and the 2015 Ten-Year Debt Issuance Costs and Transaction-Related Expenses During 2017 and in connection with the 2017 Recapitalization, the Company incurred approximately $6.4 million of net pre-tax write-off ten-year During fiscal 2015 and in connection with the 2015 Recapitalization, the Company incurred approximately $8.1 million of net pre-tax write-off of ten-year Guarantees and Covenants of the Notes The Notes are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of DPLLC and secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company, including royalty and certain other income from all domestic and international stores, domestic supply chain income and intellectual property. The restrictions placed on the Company’s subsidiaries require that the Company’s principal and interest obligations have first priority and amounts are segregated weekly to ensure appropriate funds are reserved to pay the quarterly principal and interest amounts due. The amount of weekly cash flow that exceeds the required weekly interest reserve is generally remitted to the Company in the form of a dividend. However, once the required obligations are satisfied, there are no further restrictions, including payment of dividends, on the cash flows of the subsidiaries. The Notes are subject to certain financial and non-financial While the Notes are outstanding, scheduled payments of principal and interest are required to be made on a quarterly basis. The payment of principal of the 2017 Fixed and Floating Rate Notes and the 2015 Fixed Rate Notes shall be suspended if the leverage ratio for the Company is less than or equal to 5.0x total debt, as defined, to adjusted EBITDA, as defined. Scheduled principal payments will resume upon failure to satisfy the aforementioned leverage ratio on an ongoing basis and no catch-up Prior to the 2017 Recapitalization and the repayment of the remaining principal and interest under the 2012 Fixed Rate Notes, the payment of principal of the 2012 Fixed Rate Notes and 2015 Fixed Rate Notes (i) shall be suspended if the leverage ratios for the Company are less than or equal to 4.5x total debt to adjusted EBITDA, as defined, and there are no scheduled principal catch-up catch-up During the first quarter of 2017, the Company met the maximum leverage ratios under the Company’s then outstanding 2012 Fixed Rate Notes and 2015 Notes of less than 4.5x, and, in accordance with the Company’s debt agreements, ceased debt amortization payments beginning in the second quarter of 2017. The Company continued to meet the maximum leverage ratios of less than 4.5x in the third quarter prior to the 2017 Recapitalization and accordingly, did not make previously scheduled debt amortization payments in accordance with the debt agreements. Subsequent to the 2017 Recapitalization, the Company’s leverage ratios exceeded the new maximum leverage ratio of 5.0x and, accordingly, the Company began making the scheduled amortization payments on the Notes. In 2015 and up until the 2015 Recapitalization, the Company met the maximum leverage ratios of less than 4.5x and accordingly, did not make previously scheduled debt amortization payments in accordance with the debt agreements. Subsequent to the 2015 Recapitalization, the Company’s leverage ratios exceeded 4.5x and, accordingly, the Company began making the scheduled amortization payments as well as the required catch-up Consolidated Long-Term Debt At December 31, 2017 and January 1, 2017, consolidated long-term debt consisted of the following (in thousands): 2017 2016 5.216% Class A-2 $ — $ 916,650 3.484% Class A-2-I 492,500 495,000 4.474% Class A-2-II 788,000 792,000 3.082% Class A-2-II 598,500 — 4.118% Class A-2-III 997,500 — Floating Rate Class A-2-I 299,250 — 2017 Variable Funding Notes — — 2015 Variable Funding Notes — — Capital lease obligations 5,437 5,730 Debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization of $6.8 million in 2017 and $21.1 million in 2016 (27,373 ) (21,503 ) Total debt 3,153,814 2,187,877 Less – current portion 32,324 38,887 Consolidated long-term debt, net of debt issuance costs $ 3,121,490 $ 2,148,990 At December 31, 2017, maturities of long-term debt and capital lease obligations are as follows (in thousands): 2018 $ 32,324 2019 32,358 2020 509,896 2021 27,440 2022 880,238 Thereafter 1,698,931 $ 3,181,187 Fair Value Disclosures Management estimated the approximate fair values of the 2012 Fixed Rate Notes, 2015 Notes and 2017 Notes as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2017 January 1, 2017 Principal Fair Value Principal Fair Value 2012 Seven-Year Fixed Rate Notes $ — $ — $ 916,650 $ 932,233 2015 Five-Year Fixed Rate Notes 492,500 494,470 495,000 485,595 2015 Ten-Year 788,000 821,884 792,000 765,864 2017 Five-Year Fixed Rate Notes 598,500 592,515 — — 2017 Ten-Year 997,500 1,023,435 — — 2017 Five-Year Floating Rate Notes 299,250 300,746 — — The Notes are classified as a Level 2 measurement (Note 3), as the Company estimated the fair value amount by using available market information. The Company obtained broker quotes from two separate brokerage firms that are knowledgeable about the Company’s Notes and, at times, trade these notes. Further, the Company performs its own internal analysis based on the information it gathers from public markets, including information on notes that are similar to that of the Company. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the fair value estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amount that the Company or the debtholders could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair values calculated above.

The Company records legal fees associated with loss contingencies when they are probable and reasonably estimable. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. These matters referenced above could be decided unfavorably to us and could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts or a range of amounts that cannot be estimated with accuracy. In management’s opinion, these matters, individually and in the aggregate, should not have a significant adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company, and the established accruals adequately provide for the estimated resolution of such claims. On February 14, 2011, Domino’s Pizza LLC was named as a defendant in a lawsuit along with Fischler Enterprises of C.F., Inc., a franchisee, and Jeffrey S. Kidd, the franchisee’s delivery driver, filed by Yvonne Wiederhold, the plaintiff, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Richard E. Wiederhold, deceased. The case involved a traffic accident in which the franchisee’s delivery driver is alleged to have caused an accident involving a vehicle driven by Richard Wiederhold. Mr. Wiederhold sustained spinal injuries resulting in quadriplegia and passed away several months after the accident. The jury returned a $10.1 million judgment for the plaintiff where the Company and Mr. Kidd were found to be 90% liable (after certain offsets and other deductions the final verdict was $8.9 million). In the second quarter of 2016, the trial court ruled on all post-judgment motions and entered the judgment. The Company denies liability and in the third quarter of 2016 filed an appeal of the verdict on a variety of grounds. The Company continues to deny liability in this matter.

Although realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized. On an ongoing basis, management will assess whether it remains more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized. For financial reporting purposes, the Company’s investment in foreign subsidiaries does not exceed its tax basis. Therefore, no deferred income taxes have been provided. The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable, based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant taxing authority’s widely understood administrative practices and precedents. For tax positions meeting the “more likely than not” At December 31, 2017, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $1.8 million of which, if ultimately recognized, $1.5 million would be recognized as an income tax benefit and reduce the Company’s effective tax rate. At December 31, 2017, the Company had less than $0.1 million of accrued interest and no accrued penalties. At January 1, 2017, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $2.0 million of which, if ultimately recognized, $1.6 million would be recognized as an income tax benefit and reduce the Company’s effective tax rate. At January 1, 2017, the Company had less than $0.1 million of accrued interest and no accrued penalties.

The Company’s Federal statute of limitation has expired for years prior to 2014 and the relevant state and foreign statutes vary. The Company expects the current ongoing examinations to be concluded in the next twelve months and does not expect the assessment of any significant additional amounts in excess of amounts reserved. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”) was enacted. The 2017 Tax Act includes many changes to existing U.S. tax laws that impact the Company, most notably a reduction of the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017.

The Company’s current equity incentive plan benefits certain of the Company’s employees and directors and is named the Domino’s Pizza, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2004 Equity Incentive Plan”). As of December 31, 2017, the maximum number of shares that may be granted under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan is 15,600,000 shares of voting common stock of which 2,845,095 shares were authorized for grant but have not been granted. The Company recorded total non-cash non-cash non-cash The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 2016-09. Stock Options As of December 31, 2017, the number of stock options granted and outstanding under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan was 2,238,114 options. Stock options granted under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan and a predecessor plan prior to fiscal 2009 were generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price at the date of the grant, expired ten years from the date of grant and vested over five years from the date of grant. Stock options granted in fiscal 2009 through fiscal 2012 were granted with an exercise price equal to the market price at the date of the grant, expire ten years from the date of grant and generally vest over three years from the date of grant. Stock options granted in fiscal 2013 through fiscal 2017 were granted with an exercise price equal to the market price at the date of the grant, expire ten years from the date of grant and generally vest over four years from the date of grant. Additionally, all stock options granted become fully exercisable upon vesting. These awards also contain provisions for accelerated vesting upon the retirement of holders that have achieved specific service and age requirements. Stock option activity related to the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan is summarized as follows: Common Stock Options Weighted Weighted Average Average Aggregate Exercise Remaining Intrinsic Outstanding Price Life Value (Years) (In thousands) Stock options at December 28, 2014 3,590,115 $ 22.47 Stock options granted 193,970 111.63 Stock options cancelled (32,176 ) 73.55 Stock options exercised (428,433 ) 11.70 Stock options at January 3, 2016 3,323,476 $ 28.57 Stock options granted 233,280 129.42 Stock options cancelled (12,798 ) 104.23 Stock options exercised (1,045,648 ) 14.38 Stock options at January 1, 2017 2,498,310 $ 43.54 Stock options granted 126,720 201.19 Stock options cancelled (28,991 ) 101.97 Stock options exercised (357,925 ) 17.05 Stock options at December 31, 2017 2,238,114 $ 55.94 4.7 $ 299,518 Exercisable at December 31, 2017 1,827,568 $ 36.61 3.9 $ 278,438 The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was approximately $62.0 million, $128.0 million and $41.7 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Cash received from the exercise of stock options was approximately $6.1 million, $15.2 million and $4.8 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The tax benefit realized from stock options exercised was approximately $23.0 million, $46.1 million and $14.7 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company recorded total non-cash non-cash Management estimated the fair value of each option grant made during 2017, 2016 and 2015 as of the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing method. Weighted average assumptions are presented in the following table. The risk-free interest rate is based on the estimated effective life, and is estimated based on U.S. Treasury Bond rates as of the grant date. The expected life is based on several factors, including, among other things, the vesting term and contractual term as well as historical experience. The expected volatility is based principally on the historical volatility of the Company’s share price. 2017 2016 2015 Risk-free interest rate 2.0 % 1.3 % 1.7 % Expected life (years) 5.5 5.5 5.5 Expected volatility 25.8 % 26.0 % 28.4 % Expected dividend yield 0.9 % 1.2 % 1.1 % Weighted average fair value per stock option $ 49.57 $ 29.59 $ 28.45 Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. In management’s opinion, existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options, as changes in subjective input assumptions can significantly affect the fair value estimate. Other Equity-Based Compensation Arrangements The Company granted 4,410 shares, 6,920 shares and 8,350 shares of restricted stock in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, to members of its Board of Directors. These grants generally vest one year from the date of the grant and have a fair value equal to the market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. These awards also contain provisions for accelerated vesting upon the retirement of holders that have achieved specific service and age requirements. The Company recorded total non-cash non-cash The Company granted 67,840 shares, 90,730 shares and 88,250 shares of performance-based restricted stock in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, to certain employees of the Company. These performance-based restricted stock awards are separated into four tranches and have time-based and performance-based vesting conditions with the last tranche vesting four years from the issuance date. These awards also contain provisions for accelerated vesting upon the retirement of holders that have achieved specific service and age requirements. These awards are considered granted for accounting purposes when the performance target is set, which is generally in the fourth quarter of each year. The Company recorded total non-cash non-cash Restricted stock and performance-based restricted stock activity related to the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan is summarized as follows: Weighted Average Grant Date Shares Fair Value Nonvested at January 1, 2017 276,220 $ 97.48 Shares granted (1) 72,250 205.21 Shares cancelled (16,109 ) 115.71 Shares vested (137,757 ) 80.55 Nonvested at December 31, 2017 194,604 $ 147.94 (1) The weighted average grant date fair value for performance-based restricted shares granted was calculated based on the market price on the grant dates. Certain tranches will ultimately be valued when the performance condition is established for each tranche, which generally occurs in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.

Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents	Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents Restricted cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2017 includes $122.9 million of cash and cash equivalents held for future principal and interest payments, $32.1 million of cash equivalents held in a three-month interest reserve, $36.7 million of cash held as collateral for outstanding letters of credit and $0.1 million of other restricted cash. Restricted cash and cash equivalents at January 1, 2017 includes $99.8 million of cash and cash equivalents held for future principal and interest payments and $26.7 million of cash equivalents held in a three-month interest reserve.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out 2017 2016 Food $ 36,645 $ 36,644 Equipment and supplies 3,316 3,537 Inventories $ 39,961 $ 40,181
Other Assets	Other Assets Current and long-term other assets primarily include prepaid expenses such as insurance, rent and taxes, deposits, notes receivable, as well as covenants not-to-compete
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, Plant and Equipment Additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.Depreciation and amortization expense is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Estimated useful lives, other than the estimated useful life of the capital lease assets as described below, are generally as follows (in years): Buildings 20 Leasehold and other improvements 7 – 15 Equipment 3 – 15 Included in land and buildings as of December 31, 2017 and January 1, 2017 are capital lease assets of approximately $4.3 million and $4.7 million, which are net of $6.2 million and $5.8 million of accumulated amortization, respectively, related to the lease of a supply chain center building and the lease of a Company-owned store. The capital lease assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over the respective lease terms. Depreciation and amortization expense on property, plant and equipment was approximately $29.6 million, $27.3 million and $24.1 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Impairments of Long-Lived Assets	Impairments of Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates the potential impairment of long-lived assets at least annually based on various analyses including the projection of undiscounted cash flows and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. For Company-owned stores, the Company performs this evaluation on an operating market basis, which the Company has determined to be the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of other cash flows. If the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds the amount of the expected future undiscounted cash flows of that asset, the Company estimates the fair value of the assets. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized and the asset is written down to its estimated fair value. The Company did not record any impairment losses on long-lived assets in 2017, 2016 or 2015.
Investments in Marketable Securities	Investments in Marketable Securities Investments in marketable securities consist of investments in various mutual funds made by eligible individuals as part of the Company’s deferred compensation plan (Note 7). These investments are stated at aggregate fair value, are restricted and have been placed in a rabbi trust whereby the amounts are irrevocably set aside to fund the Company’s obligations under the deferred compensation plan. The Company classifies and accounts for these investments in marketable securities as trading securities.
Debt Issuance Costs	Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs are recorded as a reduction to the Company’s debt balance and primarily include the expenses incurred by the Company as part of the 2015 and 2017 Recapitalizations (Note 4). Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis (which is materially consistent with the effective interest method) over the expected term of the respective debt instrument to which the costs relate and is included in interest expense. In connection with the 2012 Recapitalization, the Company recorded approximately $39.9 million of debt issuance costs. In connection with the 2015 Recapitalization, the Company expensed approximately $6.9 million of these costs in connection with the extinguishment of $551.3 million of the 2012 Fixed Rate Notes (Note 4). In connection with the 2017 Recapitalization, the Company expensed the approximately $5.5 million in remaining unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the extinguishment of the remaining $910.2 million of the 2012 Fixed Rate Notes. Additionally, in connection with the 2015 and 2017 Recapitalizations, the Company recorded $17.4 million and $16.8 million of debt issuance costs, respectively, which are being amortized into interest expense over the five and ten-year In connection with the aforementioned write-off
Goodwill	Goodwill The Company’s goodwill amounts primarily relate to franchise store acquisitions and are not amortized. The Company performs its required impairment tests in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and did not recognize any goodwill impairment charges in 2017, 2016 or 2015.
Capitalized Software	Capitalized Software Capitalized software is recorded at cost and includes purchased, internally-developed and externally-developed software used in the Company’s operations. Amortization expense is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the software, which range from one to seven years. Capitalized software amortization expense was approximately $14.8 million, $10.8 million and $8.3 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, scheduled amortization for the next five fiscal years was approximately $14.3 million, $9.4 million, $5.3 million, $3.3 million and $1.6 million for 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively.
Insurance Reserves	Insurance Reserves The Company has retention programs for workers’ compensation, general liability and owned and non-owned non-owned non-owned Insurance reserves relating to our retention programs are based on undiscounted actuarial estimates. These estimates are based on historical information and on certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions for such factors as medical costs and legal actions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause these estimates to change in the near term. The Company receives estimates of outstanding insurance exposures from its independent actuary and differences between these estimated actuarial exposures and the Company’s recorded amounts are adjusted as appropriate.
Other Accrued Liabilities	Other Accrued Liabilities Current and long-term other accrued liabilities primarily include accruals for income, sales, property and other taxes, legal reserves, store operating expenses, deferred rent expense, dividends payable and deferred compensation liabilities.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation The Company’s foreign entities use their local currency as the functional currency. For these entities, the Company translates net assets into U.S. dollars at year end exchange rates, while income and expense accounts are translated at average annual exchange rates. Currency translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in determining net income.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Domestic Company-owned stores revenues are comprised of retail sales of food through Company-owned Domino’s Pizza stores located in the contiguous United States and are recognized when the items are delivered to or carried out by customers. Domestic franchise revenues are primarily comprised of royalties and fees from Domino’s Pizza franchisees with operations in the contiguous United States. Royalty revenues are recognized when the items are delivered to or carried out by franchise customers. Supply chain revenues are primarily comprised of sales of food, equipment and supplies to franchised Domino’s Pizza stores located in the United States and Canada. Revenues from the sales of food are recognized upon delivery of the food to franchisees, while revenues from the sales of equipment and supplies are generally recognized upon shipment of the related products to franchisees. International franchise revenues are primarily comprised of royalties and fees from Domino’s Pizza franchisees outside the contiguous United States. These revenues are recognized consistently with the policies applied for franchise revenues generated in the contiguous United States.
Supply Chain Profit-Sharing Arrangements	Supply Chain Profit-Sharing Arrangements The Company enters into profit-sharing arrangements with domestic and Canadian stores that purchase all of their food from Supply Chain (Note 11). These profit-sharing arrangements generally offer Company-owned stores and participating franchisees with 50% (or a higher percentage in the case of Company-owned stores and certain franchisees who operate a larger number of stores) of their regional supply chain center’s pre-tax
Advertising	Advertising Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense, which relates primarily to Company-owned stores, was approximately $39.8 million, $34.5 million and $32.0 million during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Domestic Stores (Note 11) are required to contribute a certain percentage of sales to the Domino’s National Advertising Fund Inc. (“DNAF”), a not-for-profit DNAF assets, consisting primarily of cash received from franchisees and accounts receivable from franchisees, can only be used for activities that promote the Domino’s Pizza brand. Accordingly, all assets held by the DNAF are considered restricted.
Rent	Rent The Company leases certain equipment, vehicles, retail store and supply chain center locations and its corporate headquarters under operating leases with expiration dates through 2033. Rent expenses totaled approximately $57.9 million, $49.9 million and $46.1 million during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Common Stock Dividends	Common Stock Dividends The Company declared and paid dividends of approximately $84.2 million (or $1.84 per share) in 2017, approximately $74.0 million (or $1.52 per share) in 2016 and approximately $66.5 million (or $1.24 per share) in 2015. The Company also paid dividends of $13.8 million in 2015 related to a dividend declaration in 2014.
Stock Options and Other Equity-Based Compensation Arrangements	Stock Options and Other Equity-Based Compensation Arrangements The cost of all of the Company’s stock options, as well as other equity-based compensation arrangements, is reflected in the financial statements based on the estimated fair value of the awards.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share The Company discloses two calculations of earnings per share (“EPS”): basic EPS and diluted EPS. The numerator in calculating common stock basic and diluted EPS is consolidated net income. The denominator in calculating common stock basic EPS is the weighted average shares outstanding. The denominator in calculating common stock diluted EPS includes the additional dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, unvested restricted stock grants and unvested performance-based restricted stock grants.
Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information	Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information The Company paid interest of approximately $107.4 million, $104.6 million and $80.8 million during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Cash paid for income taxes was approximately $122.6 million, $74.3 million and $80.1 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company had $4.0 million, $3.8 million and $0.8 million of non-cash non-cash
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting 2016-09 As a result, excess tax benefits or deficiencies from equity-based compensation activity are reflected in the consolidated statements of income as a component of the provision for income taxes, whereas they previously were recognized in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit. The Company also elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than to use an estimate of expected forfeitures for financial statement reporting purposes. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 The Company adopted the cash flow presentation prospectively, and accordingly, excess tax benefits from equity-based compensation of $27.2 million in fiscal 2017 are presented as an operating activity, while $48.1 million and $17.8 million of excess tax benefits from equity-based compensation in fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015, respectively, are presented as a financing activity. The presentation requirements for cash flows related to taxes paid for restricted stock upon vesting had no impact on our consolidated statements of cash flows for any of the periods presented because such cash flows have historically been presented as a financing activity. Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB and concluded the following accounting pronouncements may have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, or represent accounting pronouncements for which the Company has not yet completed its assessment. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) non-cash The Company has substantially completed its assessment of ASC 606, and the adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on its recognition of sales from Company-owned stores, ongoing royalty fees which are based on a percentage of franchise sales, revenues from its supply chain centers, development fees or technology fees. The Company has determined that the store opening fees received from international franchisees do not contain separate and distinct performance obligations from the franchise right and those upfront fees will therefore be recognized as revenue over the term of each respective franchise agreement. Currently, we recognize such fees as revenue when received. The Company does not expect this to have a material impact on its international franchise revenues. However, an adjustment to beginning retained earnings and a corresponding contract liability of approximately $15 million will be established on the date of adoption associated with the fees received through December 31, 2017 that would have been deferred and recognized over the term of each respective franchise agreement if the new guidance had been applied in the past. The Company has also determined that ASC 606 requires a gross presentation on the consolidated statement of income for franchisee contributions received by and related expenses of DNAF, our consolidated not-for-profit In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) 2016-02 2016-02 right-of-use In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-04, Liabilities – Extinguishment of Liabilities (Subtopic 405-20): 2016-04 Revenues from Contracts with Customers non-financial 2016-04 In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments 2016-13 2016-13 In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash 2016-18), 2016-18 In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 , Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 35): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment 2017-04. 2017-04 2017-04
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
