PIZZA PIZZA ROYALTY

Pizza Pizza Royalty said system-wide same-store sales fell 4.1% in Q1 (Pizza Pizza -4.3%, Pizza 73 -2.7%) as weaker consumer confidence and lower traffic hit add-ons and delivery. Royalty pool system sales declined 3.5% to CAD 145.8 million and royalty income dropped to CAD 9.4 million, yet the company maintained the quarterly dividend of CAD 0.2325 per share, resulting in a 134% payout ratio and reduced working capital. Management is prioritizing value and innovation — including a CAD 5 slice-and-drink that boosted walk-in traffic — pushing pickup and organic delivery improvements, and targeting 2–3% growth in traditional stores while being disciplined on non-traditional locations. » More on finance.yahoo.com
