Domino's performance has been affected by higher inflationary pressures in commodity, labor and fuel costs (resulting from the macroeconomic environment in the U.S.) and staffing challenges. In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the company's total cost of sales amounted to $686.7 million compared with $612.8 million reported in the prior-year quarter. During the quarter, fuel and labor costs negatively impacted the supply chain margins. The company anticipates fluctuations in commodity prices (including wheat) and fuel costs arising from geopolitical risk and the impact on the overall macroeconomic environment. It expects inflation to impact its delivery business owing to added expenses of fees and tips in the channel. Domino's has been strategically increasing prices to mitigate the impact of inflation while maintaining a strong value proposition. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the company expects pricing to increase to approximately 7%. High debt remains a concern for the company.
