Domino's Pizza Enterprises Limited
(ASX:DMP) has hiked its dividend after boosting its net profit by 44.2 per cent to a record $29.1 million in the first half of the 2015 financial year.

Domino's says the year has started strongly and the company plans to open its 1,500th store later this year.
Looking ahead Domino's expects to improve its annual net profit by 32.5 per cent and lift EBITDA by 30 per cent.
