FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
KRISPY KREME REPORTS EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $0.13 FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF
FISCAL 2012
FISCAL 2012
Winston-Salem, NC – May 23, 2011 – Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. (NYSE: KKD) (the “Company”) today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, ended May 1, 2011.
First Quarter Fiscal 2012 Highlights Compared to the Year-Ago Period:
- Revenues increased 13.6% to $104.6 million from $92.1 million
- Company same store sales rose 5.8%, the tenth consecutive quarterly increase
- Operating income rose 61.7% to $9.8 million from $6.1 million
- Operating income, excluding the effects of impairment charges and lease termination costs of $240,000 and $1.3 million in fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively, rose 36.5% to $10.0 million from $7.4 million
- Net income was $9.2 million ($0.13 per share diluted) compared to $4.5 million ($0.06 per share diluted) in the first quarter last year
- Cash provided by operating activities was $5.1 million compared to $1.7 million in the first quarter last year
The Company ended the first quarter with a total of 652 Krispy Kreme stores systemwide, a net increase of 6 shops during the quarter. As of May 1, 2011, there were 86 Company stores and 566 franchise locations.
James H. Morgan, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We delivered a strong performance in the first quarter, characterized by double-digit revenue growth, a significant increase in consolidated operating income, and our best quarterly net profit since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. Substantially improved results in the Company Stores segment were a major driver of our improved results. We also benefitted from lower impairment charges and lease termination costs and a significant reduction in interest expense resulting from the January 2011 refinancing of our credit facilities. While commodity costs created some headwinds, and will continue to do so for the remainder of the year, we believe we are off to a good start in fiscal 2012. We are pleased to reaffirm our outlook for consolidated operating income, exclusive of impairment charges and lease termination costs, of between $22 million and $24 million for the year, although we believe first quarter results make the high end of that range appear increasingly achievable.”
First Quarter Fiscal 2012 Results
Consolidated Results
For the first quarter ended May 1, 2011, revenues increased 13.6% to $104.6 million from $92.1 million. Year-over-year revenue increases were generated in all four business segments.
Direct operating expenses increased to $87.0 million from $77.2 million in the same period last year, but as a percentage of total revenues, were down slightly to 83.2% from 83.8 %. General and administrative expenses decreased to $5.6 million from $5.7 million in the same period last year and, as a percentage of total revenues, decreased to 5.4% from 6.2%. Impairment charges and lease termination costs were $240,000 compared to $1.3 million in the year-ago period.
Operating income increased to $9.8 million from $6.1 million.
Interest expense decreased to $480,000 from $1.9 million, principally reflecting lower interest rates as a result of the January 2011 refinancing of the Company’s credit facilities as well as the reduced level of indebtedness.
Net income was $9.2 million ($0.13 per share diluted) compared to $4.5 million ($0.06 per share diluted), in the first quarter last year.
Segment Results
Company Stores revenues increased 11.1% to $69.5 million from $62.5 million. Same store sales at Company stores rose 5.8%, the tenth consecutive quarterly increase. Price increases instituted during the first quarter to help offset higher input costs drove the increase, as higher customer traffic was offset by a decrease in the average guest check exclusive of pricing effects. The Company Stores segment posted an operating profit of $2.2 million, compared to breakeven results last year.
Domestic Franchise revenues increased 7.7% to $2.4 million from $2.2 million, reflecting a 6.8% rise in sales by domestic franchisees. Same store sales rose 4.6% at domestic franchise stores. The increase in revenues was offset by higher segment operating expenses, resulting in Domestic Franchisee segment operating income of $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, flat to last year.
International Franchise revenues increased 18.4% to $5.6 million from $4.8 million. A $500,000 reduction in initial franchise fees, reflecting 16 store openings in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to 41 openings in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, was offset by higher royalty revenues reflecting a 16.4% increase in constant dollar sales by international franchise stores. Adjusted to eliminate the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates, same store sales at international franchise stores fell 9.6%, reflecting, among other things, honeymoon effects from the over 300 stores opened internationally in the past three years, as well as cannibalization as markets develop. The rate of decline in constant dollar international franchise same store sales fell for the fifth consecutive quarter.
International Franchise revenues benefited from the recognition of approximately $375,000 of revenues related to Krispy Kreme Mexico which accrued in prior periods but which had not previously been recognized due to uncertainty about their collectibility. As previously announced, the Company sold its equity interest in KK Mexico on May 5, and in connection with the sale received payment of approximately $765,000 of past due amounts, consisting of approximately $375,000 of previously unrecognized revenues and approximately $390,000 of receivables for which reserves previously had been established. In light of the collection of the past due amounts in connection with the sale, the Company recorded the $375,000 of revenues and the $390,000 bad debt recovery in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company will report a gain on the sale of its interest in KK Mexico currently estimated at $5.9 million ($4.4 million after Mexican taxes, or $0.06 per share) in the second quarter. The International Franchise segment generated operating income of $4.2 million compared to $3.5 million last year.
Total KK Supply Chain revenues (including sales to Company stores) increased 17.4% to $53.9 million from $45.9 million in the first quarter last year, largely driven by selling price increases in major product categories. External KK Supply Chain revenues rose 19.9% to $27.1 million from $22.6 million in the first quarter last year. KK Supply Chain generated operating income of $8.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $8.7 million in the first quarter last year. KK Supply Chain has raised selling prices to recover rising input costs resulting from higher agricultural commodity prices, but generally has not marked up those higher costs; accordingly, KK Supply Chains’ gross profit and operating margins declined in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to the first quarter of last year.

| (1) | Systemwide sales, a non-GAAP financial measure, include the sales by both Company and franchise stores but excludes sales among Company and franchise stores. The Company believes systemwide sales data are useful in assessing the overall performance of the Krispy Kreme brand and, ultimately, the performance of the Company. The Company’s consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein include sales by Company stores, sales to franchisees by the KK Supply Chain business segment, and royalties and fees received from franchise stores based on their sales, but exclude sales by franchise stores to their customers. | ||
| (2) | Computed on a pro forma basis assuming the average rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and each of the foreign currencies in which the Company’s international franchisees conduct business had been the same in the comparable prior year period. | ||
| (3) | The change in “same store sales” represents the aggregate on-premises sales (including fundraising sales) during the current year period for all stores which had been open for more than 56 consecutive weeks during the current year period (but only to the extent such sales occurred in the 57th or later week of each store’s operation) divided by the aggregate on-premises sales of such stores for the comparable weeks in the preceding year period. Once a store has been open for at least 57 consecutive weeks, its sales are included in the computation of same stores sales for all subsequent periods. In the event a store is closed temporarily (for example, for remodeling) and has no sales during one or more weeks, such store’s sales for the comparable weeks during the earlier or subsequent period are excluded from the same store sales computation. The change in “same store customer count” is similarly computed, but is based upon the number of retail transactions reported in the Company’s point-of-sale system. | ||
| (4) | For Company off-premises sales, “average weekly number of doors” represents the average number of customer locations to which product deliveries are made during a week by Company Stores, and “average weekly sales per door” represents the average weekly sales to each such location by Company Stores. | ||
