Raises Outlook For The Full Fiscal Year

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - May 30, 2013 // PRNewswire // - Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. (NYSE: KKD) (the "Company") today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, ended May 5, 2013. The Company also raised its guidance for the full year.

First Quarter Fiscal 2014 Highlights Compared to the Year-Ago Period:

• Revenues increased 11.2% to $120.6 million from $108.5 million
• Company same store sales rose 11.4%, the eighteenth consecutive quarterly increase
• Operating income rose 40% to $15.2 million from $10.8 million
• Adjusted net income rose 37% to $14.1 million ($0.20 per share) from $10.3 million ($0.14 per share); adjusted net income and adjusted EPS reflect income tax expense only to the extent currently payable in cash; adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are non-GAAP measures (see the reconciliation of GAAP to adjusted earnings in the table accompanying this release)
• Net income was $8.0 million ($0.11 per share) compared to $6.0 million ($0.08 per share) in the first quarter last year
• Cash provided by operating activities was $14.4 million compared to $10.4 million in the first quarter last year

Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer James H. Morgan commented: "Our exceptional performance in the first quarter is a testament to both the strength of our brand and the dedication of our team members and franchisees worldwide. It is also evidence of our ongoing momentum which we believe will make this another outstanding year at Krispy Kreme. We continue to believe we are in the very early stages of developing Krispy Kreme's long-term potential as we continue to execute on our strategic priorities, demonstrate our capability to grow same store sales, generate significant operating cash flow, and increase earnings over the long term. While our same store sales numbers over the next three quarters are likely to be less dramatic as we come up against our outstanding comp performance last year, we are confident in our belief that we can deliver strong and sustainable financial returns for our shareholders. We are, therefore, pleased to raise our annual outlook for fiscal 2014 adjusted earnings from between $0.53 and $0.57 to between $0.59 and $0.63 per share. We look forward to reporting our ongoing results as fiscal 2014 progresses."

First Quarter Fiscal 2014 Results

Consolidated Results

For the first quarter ended May 5, 2013, revenues increased 11.2% to $120.6 million from $108.5 million.

Direct operating expenses increased to $96.6 million from $88.7 million, but as a percentage of total revenues fell to 80.0% from 81.7%. General and administrative expenses decreased to $6.1 million from $6.5 million in the year-ago period and, as a percentage of total revenues, decreased to 5.0% from 6.0%.

Operating income rose 40% to $15.2 million from $10.8 million.

Adjusted net income was $14.1 million ($0.20 per share) compared to $10.3 million ($0.14 per share) in the first quarter last year.

Net income was $8.0 million ($0.11 per share) compared to $6.0 million ($0.08 per share) in the first quarter last year.

Segment Results

Company Stores revenues increased 11.7% to $81.9 million from $73.3 million. Same store sales at Company stores rose 11.4%, the eighteenth consecutive quarterly increase, driven principally by higher traffic with a lesser contribution from pricing. Company Stores segment operating income improved to $5.3 million from $2.9 million in the first quarter last year.

Domestic Franchise revenues rose 9.0% to $2.9 million from $2.6 million, reflecting higher royalties slightly offset by lower franchise fees. Total sales by domestic franchisees rose 12.5%, while same store sales increased 11.3%. Domestic Franchise costs and expenses in the quarter include increases over last year related to the addition of new personnel and other costs associated with the execution of our domestic franchise expansion program. The Domestic Franchise segment posted operating income $1.4 million compared to $1.6 million in the first quarter last year.

International Franchise revenues increased 6.9% to $6.4 million from $6.0 million, reflecting higher royalties and initial franchise fees. Sales by international franchise stores rose 5.1%. Adjusted to eliminate the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates, same store sales at international franchise stores fell 7.3%, reflecting, among other things, honeymoon effects from the substantial number of international store openings in recent years, as well as cannibalization as markets develop. International Franchise costs and expenses in the quarter included a provision of approximately $120,000 for potential uncollectible accounts as well as higher personnel and personnel-related costs to support continuing and anticipated international growth. International Franchise segment operating income was flat with the first quarter of last year at $4.5 million.

KK Supply Chain revenues (including sales to Company stores) rose 11.2% to $59.8 million from $53.8 million in the same period last year. External KK Supply Chain revenues rose 10.9% to $29.4 million from $26.5 million in the year-ago period. KK Supply Chain generated operating income of $10.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, up from $8.5 million in the first quarter last year. Lower provisions for potentially uncollectible accounts and for slow moving inventories, positive mark-to-market adjustments on derivative positions, and economies of scale contributed to the margin improvement.

Outlook

First quarter results exceeded management's expectations. While comparisons will be more challenging for the balance of the fiscal year due to the Company's outstanding performance in the comparable fiscal 2013 periods, management is increasingly optimistic about the Company's prospects going forward. Accordingly, the Company is raising its fiscal 2014 outlook for adjusted net income to between $42 million and $45 million from the previous forecast of between $37 million and $40 million. The Company also is raising its forecast for adjusted earnings per share for fiscal 2014 to between $0.59 and $0.63 compared to the previous range of $0.53 to $0.57. The revised forecast reflects not only the Company's outperformance in the first quarter, but also higher expectations for the balance of fiscal 2014. Achievement of the increased forecast would represent a year-over-year increase in adjusted earnings per share of between 26% and 34% from the $0.47 per share reported on a 52-week basis for fiscal 2013.

Conference Call

The Company will host a conference call to review financial results for the first quarter as well as its outlook for the balance of fiscal 2014 this afternoon at 4:30 p.m. (ET).

KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUTS, INC. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

As of February 3, 2013, the Company had net deferred income tax assets of approximately $116 million, of which approximately $76 million related to federal and state net operating loss carryovers.  The Company's federal net operating loss carryovers totaled approximately $206 million.

In fiscal 2012, the Company reversed approximately $139.6 million of valuation allowances against its deferred income tax assets because management concluded that realization of such assets was more likely than not.  While such reversal, which was required by GAAP, increased the Company's earnings by $139.6 million in fiscal 2012, the reversal has the effect of reducing the Company's earnings in fiscal 2013 and 2014 as a result of an increase in the provision for income taxes.  This negative effect on earnings after fiscal 2012 occurs because the reversal of the valuation allowance resulted in the recognition in fiscal 2012 of income tax benefits expected to be realized in later years; absent the reversal of the valuation allowance, any such tax benefits would have been recognized when realized in future periods upon the generation of taxable income. Accordingly, in years after fiscal 2012, the Company's effective income tax rate, which in fiscal 2012 and earlier years bore little or no relationship to pretax income, more closely reflects the blended federal and state income tax rates in jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

Because of the increase in the Company's effective income tax rate resulting from the reversal of a valuation allowance, the Company's income tax expense in years after fiscal 2012 is not comparable to income tax expense in fiscal 2012 and earlier years.  In addition, until such time as the Company's net operating loss carryovers are exhausted or expire, GAAP income tax expense is expected to substantially exceed the amount of cash income taxes payable by the Company.

The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to January 31, which periodically results in a 53-week year.  Fiscal 2013 contained 53 weeks, while fiscal 2014 and 2012 each contain 52 weeks.

The following non-GAAP financial information and related reconciliation to GAAP measures are provided to assist the reader in understanding the effects of the above transactions on the Company's results of operations.  In addition, the non-GAAP financial information is intended to illustrate the material difference between the Company's income tax expense and income taxes currently payable.  These non-GAAP performance measures are consistent with other measurements made by management in the operation of the business which do not consider income taxes except to the extent to which those taxes currently are payable, for example, capital allocation decisions and incentive compensation measurements that are made on a pretax basis.

1) Systemwide sales, a non-GAAP financial measure, include sales by both Company and franchise Krispy Kreme stores. The Company believes systemwide sales data are useful in assessing consumer demand for the Company's products, the overall success of the Krispy Kreme brand and, ultimately, the performance of the Company. All of the Company's royalty revenues are computed as percentages of sales made by the Company's domestic and international franchisees, and substantially all of KK Supply Chain's external sales of doughnut mixes and other ingredients ultimately are determined by demand for the Company's products at franchise stores. Accordingly, sales by the Company's franchisees have a direct effect on the Company's royalty and KK Supply Chain revenues, and therefore on the Company's profitability. 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 wholesale 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.
