Insights

Financial Analyst

Krispy Kreme's Q2 2024 results show mixed performance. While revenue grew 7.3% to $438.8 million, the company reported a net loss of $4.9 million. The positive aspects include:

• Organic revenue growth of 7.8%
• Adjusted EBITDA increase of 12.1% to $54.7 million
• 23.2% increase in global points of access

However, the concerning factors are:

• GAAP net loss of $4.9 million compared to a small profit last year
• 20.1% decline in adjusted net income
• Adjusted diluted EPS drop from $0.07 to $0.05

The sale of Insomnia Cookies stake and partnership with McDonald's could be game-changers, potentially improving financial profile and expanding reach. Investors should monitor how these strategic moves impact future quarters.

Market Research Analyst

Krispy Kreme's Q2 results highlight strong consumer engagement with their brand. Key indicators include:

• 22% increase in digital sales
• 18% growth in Delivered Fresh Daily sales
• Success of specialty collections like Dolly Parton Southern Sweets

The expansion strategy is bearing fruit, with a 23.2% increase in global points of access. The upcoming launches in Germany, Brazil, Spain and Morocco, along with the McDonald's partnership, signal aggressive market penetration. However, the 4% increase in average sales per door per week in the U.S. suggests room for improvement in same-store performance. The focus on fresh doughnut availability aligns with consumer preferences for convenience and quality, but the company must balance expansion with profitability to ensure long-term success.

Business Strategy Consultant

Krispy Kreme's Q2 results reflect a strategic pivot towards its core doughnut business. The sale of Insomnia Cookies allows for increased focus and potentially improved financials. Key strategic moves include:

• Accelerating U.S. expansion through existing and new partnerships
• International market entries (Germany, Brazil, Spain, Morocco)
• Nationwide rollout with McDonald's, starting in the Midwest

The Hub and Spoke model optimization is showing promise, with improved EBITDA margins. However, the company faces challenges in balancing growth with profitability, as evidenced by the net loss. The omni-channel strategy, particularly the focus on digital and DFD sales, appears to be gaining traction. Moving forward, Krispy Kreme needs to carefully manage its expansion costs while capitalizing on its brand strength and innovative product offerings to drive sustainable growth and profitability.

Second Quarter 2024 Consolidated Results (vs Q2 2023)

Krispy Kreme’s second quarter results represent continued execution of its omni-channel strategy, with net revenue growth of 7.3% to $438.8 million, compared to $408.9 million last year. GAAP net loss was $4.9 million compared to prior year net income of $0.1 million. GAAP diluted loss per share was $(0.03), a decline of $(0.03) from the same quarter last year.

Total company organic revenue grew 7.8%, fueled by a 23.2% increase in POA, a digital sales increase of 22%, and an increase in DFD sales of 18%, driven by the success of global brand activations including the Dolly Parton Southern Sweets collection, and Kit Kat, among others.

Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter grew 12.1% to $54.7 million, with Adjusted EBITDA margins improving 60 bps to 12.5%, benefiting from the optimization of the Company’s Hub and Spoke strategy and SG&A leverage driven by cost controls and lower compensation costs. Adjusted Net Income, diluted declined 20.1% to $9.1 million in the quarter. Adjusted Diluted EPS declined to $0.05 from $0.07 in the same quarter last year, primarily driven by increased depreciation and amortization linked to the strategy of making fresh doughnuts more available and Insomnia Cookies’ continued expansion.

Second Quarter 2024 Segment Results (vs Q2 2023)

U.S.: In the U.S. segment, net revenue grew $21.9 million, or 8.2%, with organic revenue growth of 8.4%. Revenue growth was driven by innovative specialty doughnut collections which continued to resonate with consumers, resulting in a 24% increase in Delivered Fresh Daily sales and a 26% increase in digital sales. Sales per hub in the U.S. increased 6.4% to $5.0 million, with DFD average sales per door per week increasing 4% to $657.

U.S. Adjusted EBITDA increased 16.3% to $32.7 million with Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion of 80 basis points to 11.3%, driven by the impact of labor and waste optimization and productivity benefits from the Company’s Hub and Spoke model, partially offset by increased promotional activity and McDonald’s start up costs.

International: In the International segment, net revenue grew $4.7 million, or 3.9%. International organic revenue grew 5.0%, driven by record POA growth of 1,515, or 39%, and successful marketing activations.

International Adjusted EBITDA decreased 12.3% to $21.7 million with adjusted EBITDA margin declining approximately 320 basis points to 17.3%, primarily linked to softer transaction volumes in the U.K.

Market Development: In the Market Development segment net revenue and organic revenue increased $3.4 million, or 16.1%, driven by greater equipment sales than in the prior year.

Market Development Adjusted EBITDA grew 22.7% to $12.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA margins expanded 280 basis points to 53.1%, driven by greater flow through from product sales.

Balance Sheet and Capital Expenditures

During the second quarter of 2024, strong Adjusted EBITDA translated to GAAP Operating Cash Flow of $33.3 million. The Company invested $31.7 million in capital expenditures, driven primarily by the investments in the Hub and Spoke model for the U.S. expansion of the DFD network. This drove positive Free Cash Flow of $1.6 million in the quarter.

Subsequent to the quarter, the Company received $127.4 million following the sale of a majority stake in Insomnia Cookies and have received an additional $45 million following the refinancing of intercompany debt.

2024 Financial Guidance

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(in thousands, except per share amounts)

We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as earnings before interest expense, net, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization, with further adjustments for share-based compensation, certain strategic initiatives, acquisition and integration expenses, and other certain non-recurring, infrequent or non-core income and expense items. Adjusted EBITDA is a principal metric that management uses to monitor and evaluate operating performance and provides a consistent benchmark for comparison across reporting periods.

We define “Adjusted Net Income, Diluted” as net loss attributable to common shareholders, adjusted for interest expense, share-based compensation, certain strategic initiatives, acquisition and integration expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, the tax impact of adjustments, and other certain non-recurring, infrequent or non-core income and expense items. “Adjusted EPS” is Adjusted Net Income, Diluted converted to a per share amount.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Diluted, and Adjusted EPS have certain limitations, including adjustments for income and expense items that are required by GAAP. In evaluating these non-GAAP measures, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation, such as share-based compensation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Diluted, and Adjusted EPS should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. Management compensates for these limitations by relying on our GAAP results in addition to using Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Diluted, and Adjusted EPS supplementally.
