Krispy Kreme Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2009 Results
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., June 9 // PRNewswire-FirstCall // -- Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. (NYSE: KKD) (the "Company") today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2009, ended May 4, 2008.
Net income for the first quarter was $4.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $7.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the first quarter last year. While a number of factors affected results for the first quarter compared to the first quarter of last year as disclosed in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed this morning, the largest single factor was that results for the first quarter of last year included a charge of $9.6 million related to the refinancing of long-term debt.
"We are pleased to report improved bottom line results in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to the first quarter of last year," said Jim Morgan, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Much work remains to be done to achieve the consistent profitability and sustainable growth we envision. While we continue to face many challenges, I believe more than ever there also are many opportunities ahead of us. Although our near term results may be uneven, our employees are working hard to implement the further improvements necessary for us to be successful for the long term."
Among the other factors that affected the Company's results for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 were a $930,000 non-cash gain on the disposal of equity interests in two franchisees and the related release of the Company's guarantees of certain debt and leases, as well as a net credit in impairment and lease termination costs of $645,000 resulting from changes in estimated sublease rentals on a closed store and the realization of proceeds on the assignment of another closed store lease.
Company revenues for the first quarter decreased 6.6% to $103.6 million compared to $110.9 million in the first quarter last year. The decline in revenues reflects a 10.3% decrease in Company Stores revenues to $72.2 million and a 2.0% decrease in KK Supply Chain revenues to $24.9 million, partially offset by a 30.2% increase in Franchise revenues to $6.5 million. As of May 4, 2008, the Company's consolidated balance sheet reflects cash and debt of approximately $29.2 million and $75.7 million, respectively.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, 28 new Krispy Kreme stores, comprised of four factory stores and 24 satellites, were opened systemwide, and seven stores, comprised of six factory stores and one satellite, were closed systemwide. This brings the total number of stores systemwide at quarter end to 470, consisting of 289 factory stores and 181 satellites. The net increase of 21 stores in the quarter reflects a net increase of 27 international stores and a net decrease of six domestic stores. Approximately 75% of total stores are operated by franchisees, and half are located outside the United States.
First quarter systemwide sales increased 2.4% from the first quarter of last year. The growth in systemwide sales was entirely attributable to growth in sales by international franchisees; the domestic component of systemwide sales fell in the first quarter compared to the first quarter last year, principally due to store closures over the past 12 months.
Many factors could adversely affect the Company's business. In particular, the Company is vulnerable to further increases in the cost of raw materials, which could adversely affect the Company's operating results and cash flows. The Company has guaranteed approximately $14 million of obligations of franchisees in which it has an equity interest, and the aggregate recorded liability for estimated payments under such guarantees was $3.4 million as of May 4, 2008. Franchisees opened 28 stores and closed seven stores in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company believes franchisees will close additional stores in the future, and the number of such closures may be significant. Royalty revenues and most of KK Supply Chain revenues are directly correlated to sales by franchise stores and, accordingly, franchise store closures have an adverse effect on the Company's revenues, results of operations and cash flows.
Systemwide sales, a non-GAAP financial measure, include sales by both 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 include sales by Company stores, sales to franchisees by the KK Supply Chain business segment and royalties and fees received from franchisees, but exclude sales by franchise stores to their customers.
Management will host a conference call to review first quarter results this afternoon at 4:30 p.m. (ET).

(1) Systemwide sales, a non-GAAP financial measure, include the sales by
both Company and franchise stores. The Company believes systemwide
sales data is useful in assessing the overall performance of the
Krispy Kreme brand and, ultimately, the performance of the Company.
(2) Represents, on a Company and systemwide basis, total sales of both
factory and satellite stores divided by the number of operating weeks
for both factory and satellite stores.
(3) Represents, on a Company and systemwide basis, the aggregate number of
operating weeks for both factory and satellite stores.
(4) The change in "same store sales" represents, on a Company and
systemwide basis, 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.
(5) 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.
