CANTON, Mass. - Oct. 23, 2014 // PRNewswire // -

Third quarter highlights include:

• Dunkin' Donuts U.S. comparable store sales growth of 2.0%; Baskin-Robbins U.S. comparable store sales growth of 5.8%
• Added 197 net new restaurants worldwide including 120 net new Dunkin' Donuts in the U.S.
• Revenue increased 3.4%
• Adjusted operating income increased 11.3%; adjusted operating income margin of 51.6%
• Diluted adjusted EPS increased 19.5% to $0.49
• Board of Directors declares $0.23 fourth quarter dividend

Dunkin' Brands Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: DNKN), the parent company of Dunkin' Donuts (DD) and Baskin-Robbins (BR), today reported results for the third quarter ended September 27, 2014.

"Dunkin' Donuts U.S. third quarter comparable store sales growth of two percent marked a slight improvement from the second quarter as we continue to feel the impact from ongoing challenges with the economy and a highly competitive QSR breakfast and coffee environment. In the face of these challenges, we are focused on driving balanced growth by capturing incremental beverage occasions through new product news, such as the launch of Dark Roast coffee, targeted discounting and leveraging innovation to deliver strong morning food results," said Nigel Travis, Chairman & CEO, Dunkin' Brands Group, Inc. "Franchisee restaurant level economics remain highly-compelling as demonstrated by our strong third quarter restaurant growth including the addition of 120 net new Dunkin' Donuts in the U.S. We now believe that we can ultimately have more than 17,000 Dunkin' Donuts in the U.S., an increase of 2,000 restaurants over the initial long-term growth target that we provided at the time of our IPO in 2011."

"It will be a challenge to achieve the low-end of our full-year Dunkin' Donuts U.S. comparable store sales growth target of two to three percent, but we remain confident we will achieve our other development and financial performance targets for 2014," said Paul Carbone, CFO, Dunkin' Brands Group, Inc. "Importantly, as we reaffirmed at our Investor & Analyst Day on September 17, our long-term expectations remain intact."

Global systemwide sales growth in the third quarter was primarily attributable to global store development and Dunkin' Donuts U.S. comparable store sales growth (which includes stores open 54 weeks or more).

Dunkin' Donuts U.S. comparable store sales growth in the third quarter was driven by higher traffic and increased average ticket resulting from our continued focus on product and marketing innovation. Growth was driven by beverages, led by Iced Coffee, Frozen Beverages, and Hot and Iced Espresso; by breakfast sandwiches and associated add-ons like Hash Browns, led by the return of the Breakfast Burrito and the Spicy Smoked Sausage Breakfast Sandwich and the launch of the Chicken Biscuit in several markets; and by donuts including the Coffee Cream and Pumpkin flavors. Ticket and traffic growth contributed equally to comparable store sales growth in the third quarter.

Baskin-Robbins U.S. comparable store sales growth was driven by sales of Cups & Cones, Cakes, and Beverages as a result of the program offering guests a free waffle cone with the purchase of a second scoop of ice cream, while online ice cream cake ordering continues to drive cake sales.

In the third quarter, Dunkin' Brands franchisees and licensees opened 197 net new restaurants around the globe. This includes 120 net new Dunkin' Donuts U.S. locations, 61 net new Baskin-Robbins International locations, 10 net new Dunkin' Donuts International locations, and six net new Baskin-Robbins U.S. locations. Additionally, Dunkin' Donuts U.S. franchisees remodeled 120 restaurants during the quarter.

Revenues for the third quarter increased 3.4 percent compared to the prior year period primarily from increased royalty income due to systemwide sales growth, offset by a decline in sales of ice cream products.

Operating income for the third quarter increased $10.2 million, or 12.5 percent, from the prior year period primarily as a result of the increase in revenues, as well as $3.7 million in write-downs related to our investments in the Dunkin' Donuts Spain joint venture recorded in the prior year period. Adjusted operating income increased $10.1 million, or 11.3 percent, from the third quarter of 2013 as a result of the increase in revenues and the write-downs related to the Spain joint venture recorded in the prior year period.

Net income for the third quarter increased by $14.5 million, or 36.0 percent, compared to the prior year period primarily as a result of the increase in operating income of $10.2 million and decreases in interest expense and income tax expense of $3.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Income tax expense was favorably impacted by the settlement of certain tax audits. Adjusted net income increased by $7.7 million, or 17.3 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2013, as a result of the increase in adjusted operating income and the decrease in interest expense, offset by an increase in income tax expense.

Diluted adjusted earnings per share increased by 19.5 percent to $0.49 for the third quarter of 2014 compared to the prior year period as a result of the increase in adjusted net income and a decrease in shares outstanding. The decrease in shares outstanding from the prior year period is due primarily to the repurchase of shares, offset by the exercise of stock options. During the third quarter, the Company repurchased a total of 1,139,000 shares.

1 Prior year amounts reflect change in segment profit measure. Please refer to "Segment Profit Comparability" for further detail.

Dunkin' Donuts U.S. revenues of $143.0 million represented an increase of 6.5 percent year-over-year.  The increase was primarily a result of increased royalty income, as well as franchise fees due primarily to the timing of franchise renewals and an increase in development year-over-year. The increases were offset by a decline in sales at company-owned restaurants due to the sale of all company-owned restaurants in the Atlanta market in the second quarter of 2014.

Dunkin' Donuts U.S. segment profit in the third quarter increased $9.1 million over the prior year period to $106.2 million, which was driven primarily by the increases in royalty income and franchise fees, offset by an increase in personnel costs.

Dunkin' Donuts International third quarter systemwide sales increased 4.3 percent from the prior year period, driven by sales growth in Germany, Spain, and the Philippines, offset by a decline in South Korea.

The Company's consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and other additional information have been provided with this press release. This information should be reviewed in conjunction with this press release.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained herein are not based on historical fact and are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the applicable securities laws and regulations. Generally, these statements can be identified by the use of words such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "feel," "forecast," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "project," "should," "would," and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. These risk and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the ongoing level of profitability of franchisees and licensees; our franchisees' and licensees' ability to sustain same store sales growth; successful westward expansion; changes in working relationships with our franchisees and licensees and the actions of our franchisees and licensees; our master franchisees' relationships with sub-franchisees; the strength of our brand in the markets in which we compete; changes in competition within the quick-service restaurant segment of the food industry; changes in consumer behavior resulting from changes in technologies or alternative methods of delivery; economic and political conditions in the countries where we operate; our substantial indebtedness; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; consumer preferences, spending patterns and demographic trends; the impact of seasonal changes, including weather effects, on our business; the success of our growth strategy and international development; changes in commodity and food prices, particularly coffee, dairy products and sugar, and other operating costs; shortages of coffee; failure of our network and information technology systems; interruptions or shortages in the supply of products to our franchisees and licensees; the impact of food borne-illness or food safety issues or adverse public or media opinions regarding the health effects of consuming our products; our ability to collect royalty payments from our franchisees and licensees; the ability of our franchisees and licensees to open new restaurants and keep existing restaurants in operation; our ability to retain key personnel; any inability to protect consumer credit card data and catastrophic events.

Forward-looking statements reflect management's analysis as of the date of this press release. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are more fully described in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including under the section headed "Risk Factors" in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K. Except as required by applicable law, we do not undertake to publicly update or revise any of these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Measures and Statistical Data

In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth in this press release, the Company has included certain non-GAAP measurements, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income margin, adjusted net income, and diluted adjusted earnings per share, which present operating results on a basis adjusted for certain items. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures as key performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance internally. We also believe these non-GAAP measures provide our investors with useful information regarding our historical operating results. These non-GAAP measures are not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Use of the terms adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income margin, adjusted net income, and diluted adjusted earnings per share may differ from similar measures reported by other companies. These non-GAAP measures are reconciled from the respective measures determined under GAAP in the attached table "Dunkin' Brands Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries Non-GAAP Reconciliations."

Additionally, the Company has included metrics such as systemwide sales growth and comparable store sales growth, which are commonly used statistical measures in the quick service restaurant industry and the Company believes are important to understanding the Company's performance.

The Company uses "systemwide sales growth" to refer to the percentage change in sales at both franchisee- and company-owned restaurants from the comparable period of the prior year. Changes in systemwide sales are driven by changes in comparable store sales and changes in the number of restaurants.

The Company uses "DD U.S. comparable store sales growth," "BR U.S. comparable store sales growth," "DD International comparable store sales growth," and "BR International comparable store sales growth," which are calculated by including only sales from franchisee- and company-owned restaurants that have been open at least 54 weeks and that have reported sales in the current and comparable prior year week.

Segment Profit Comparability

Beginning in fiscal year 2014, the key measure used by the Company to assess the performance of and allocate resources to each reportable segment, referred to as segment profit, was revised to better align the segments with our consolidated performance measures and incentive targets. As a result, segment profit now reflects operating income adjusted for amortization of intangible assets, long-lived asset impairments, and other non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual charges, and does not reflect the allocation of any corporate charges. Prior to fiscal year 2014, segment profit was measured based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairment charges, loss on debt extinguishment and refinancing transactions, other gains and losses, and unallocated corporate charges. The segment profit amounts included herein for the three months ended September 28, 2013 have been restated to reflect this change to the measurement of segment profit to enable comparability with the three months ended September 27, 2014.
