KRISPY KREME ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER
FISCAL 2009 RESULTS
Winston-Salem, NC – September 11, 2008 – Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. (NYSE: KKD) (the “Company”) today reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2009, ended August 3, 2008.
The Company incurred a net loss in the second quarter of $1.9 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $27.0 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, in the second quarter last year. While a number of factors affected results for the quarter compared to the second quarter of last year, which are disclosed in detail in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed this morning, the largest single factor was that results for the second quarter of last year included impairment charges and lease termination costs of $22.1 million, or $.35 per share.
Total revenues for the second quarter decreased 9.5% to $94.2 million compared to $104.1 million in the second quarter last year. The decline in revenues reflects decreases in Company Stores and KK Supply Chain revenues, partially offset by an increase in Franchise revenues. Company Stores revenues decreased 13.5% to $65.1 million. Within this segment, on-premises revenues fell 10.5% in total (4.1% on a same-store basis) and off-premises revenues fell 15.7% compared to the second quarter last year. KK Supply Chain revenues declined 5.1% to $22.5 million, and Franchise revenues rose 30.1% to $6.6 million.
As of August 3, 2008, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet reflected cash and debt of approximately $33.2 million and $75.4 million, respectively.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, 31 new Krispy Kreme stores, comprised of five factory stores and 26 satellites, were opened systemwide, and seven stores, comprised of five factory stores and two satellites, were closed systemwide. This brings the total number of stores systemwide at quarter end to 494, consisting of 286 factory stores and 208 satellites. The net increase of 24 stores in the quarter reflects a net increase of 29 international stores and a net decrease of five domestic stores. All 31 new stores were opened by franchisees. Approximately 80% of total stores are operated by franchisees, and over half are located outside the United States.
Second quarter systemwide sales increased 3.9% from the second 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 second quarter compared to the second quarter last year, principally due to store closures over the past 12 months.

“We are not satisfied with our financial results for the second quarter,” said Jim Morgan, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Some of the shortfall was due to external factors, but we must move forward on implementing our key strategic initiatives in order to achieve the positive long-term results we believe are possible.” Those initiatives are:
Building new small retail concept shops in select Company markets to bring our signature doughnuts closer to consumers and to establish the economics of the domestic hub-and-spoke model;
Bringing intense focus to the basics of shop operations to improve both the consumer experience and our financial results;
Developing, testing and deploying new menu offerings to give consumers more reasons to visit Krispy Kreme;
Improving how we do business in the off-premises channel, which has particular revenue and cost pressures;
Building on our successes in international franchise development, to which we are devoting additional resources;
Enhancing franchisee operational support both domestically and internationally; and
Providing increased Supply Chain support to an increasingly global business and improving franchisee service levels and economics.
“A weakening economy, combined with rising fuel and agricultural commodity prices adversely affected us in the quarter,” Morgan continued, “but it’s our task to operate successfully no matter the headwinds. Although our near term results may continue to be uneven, we have talented and dedicated employees who are working hard to implement the further improvements necessary for us to be successful for the long term.”
Many factors could adversely affect the Company’s business. In particular, the Company is vulnerable to further increases in the cost of raw materials and fuel, which could adversely affect the Company’s operating results and cash flows. In addition, several franchisees have been experiencing financial pressures which, in certain instances, have become exacerbated in recent quarters. Royalty revenues and most of KK Supply Chain revenues are directly related to sales by franchise stores and, accordingly, the success of franchisees’ operations has a direct 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 second quarter results this afternoon at 4:30 p.m. (ET). A live webcast of the conference call will be available at www.KrispyKreme.com/investorrelations.html.

(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 (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. |
