Tom Monaghan, one of the founders, has been exceptionally active in the pro-life movement and Republican politics more broadly. The company has distanced itself from Monaghan, and he hasn't had a significant ownership interest since 1998, but the Domino's name is inevitably linked to all mentions of the divisive individual. The company as a whole keeps its public channels quite neutral.

Political Contributions Risk

3

Domino's moderately-sized donation footprint puts them in a distant 4th among restaurant brands in the S&P500. Political contributions lean heavily Republican, without a close second of Red partisanship in the industry.

Political Dichotomy Risk

5

Domino's' political donations lean very far right. Additionally, one of the founders has publicly stated his personal stance on abortion, aligned with Republican ideology. Having over 6,000 US-based stores and 13,000 international stores, the company has a very diverse consumer base. Within the U.S., the stores are dispersed throughout the country, with exceptionally high concentrations in Texas and a few other red states. One of the risks described in their 10K is in regard to the ESG-sphere. Domino's has stated a plan to hit net zero carbon emissions by 2050, which could be a potential risk factor given their donations and their right-leaning customer base. Domino's navigated various risks with competitors and supply chain issues that came with the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the 2:1 ratio of international to U.S. locations, the company is somewhat insulated from U.S. political risk, although overall risk level is still very high.

Associational Risk

2

While donations are mostly Republican, they are not to extremely controversial politicians or PACs. There are articles regarding a Domino's franchise owner in Hawaii and his highly Republican donations, which could increase risk slighly, but the individual is isolated. Conversely, there is also a lot of coverage surrounding substantial donations to children's hospitals, which lowers risk through positive association.

Brand Visibility Risk

3

Domino's is a highly visible and well-known brand, yet the focus on price and convenience lowers public scrutiny. Still, as a restaurant, price and reputation are valued highly in regard to brand visibility risk profiles.

Political Hazard (pH) Ratings Explained

A corporation’s Political Hazard Rating, or pH rating, is an overall assessment of the corporation’s likelihood of facing a material consumer boycott or investor backlash from a controversy caused by the company’s or its executives’ political activities and proclivities. The pH ratings range from 1 to 5, with a higher rating correlating with higher risk. The categories below are the components considered when setting a company’s pH rating.

Public Statements Risk

Rates the corporation based on its executives’ and the corporations’ own prior public political statements, including their frequency and whether they have tended to be, or actually have been, controversial or high-profile.

Political Dichotomy Risk

Rates the corporation based on the dichotomy, if any, between the executives’ and/or corporations’ own prior political contributions or statements and the likely political leaning of the corporation’s consumer base.

Political Contributions Risk

Rates the corporation based on the magnitude of the executives’ and/or corporations’ total political contributions to politicians and PACs, benchmarked to sector, and the weighted nature of those contributions as between political parties.

Associational Risk

Rates the corporation based on its executives’ and/or the corporation’s own prior political contributions and/or public association with particularly controversial people or high-profile politicians or PACs.

Brand Visibility Risk

Rates the corporation's risk relative to sector with higher risk being associated with higher brand visibility
