Krispy Kreme is accelerating its turnaround with major refranchising and asset sales to cut debt and shift to a capital-light model. The company raised approximately $90 million from expanding its Western U.S. joint venture with WKS Restaurant Group, including about $50 million of cash at closing and a note payable over time. WKS’s ownership in the joint venture rose from 45% to 80%, while Krispy Kreme’s stake fell to 20%, and the venture added 23 company-operated shops in California and Hawaii.
The joint venture also used new debt financing to repay roughly $53.5 million of intercompany debt owed to Krispy Kreme. Separately, Krispy Kreme closed the sale of its Japan operations to Unison Capital, generating nearly $70 million of cash proceeds, which were used to pay down debt. A $40,404,497 seller note from the WKS affiliate bears 5% annual interest and matures on March 22, 2032.
Krispy Kreme, Inc. reports fiscal 2025 revenue of $1,522.6 million, driven mainly by its omni-channel doughnut business across 15,194 global points of access. The U.S. segment generated $913.1 million of revenue, with additional contributions from International and Market Development operations.
The company implemented a 2025 turnaround plan focused on de-leveraging its balance sheet, refranchising international markets, expanding its capital-light franchise model, and improving margins and return on invested capital. Krispy Kreme recorded a $356.0 million non-cash partial goodwill impairment and other non-cash asset and lease impairment charges tied to updated forecasts and a terminated U.S. relationship.
Management highlights growth priorities in profitable U.S. expansion, digital sales, and international franchising, alongside detailed risk disclosures covering food safety, cybersecurity (including a 2024 cybersecurity incident), supply chain concentration, significant indebtedness, and execution risks around its turnaround and refranchising strategy. The company had 172.2 million shares outstanding as of February 20, 2026.
Krispy Kreme, Inc. major shareholder affiliates reported an update to a cash‑settled total return swap tied to its common stock. JAB Holdings B.V. extended the term of an existing long cash-settled equity swap with Banco Santander, S.A. from March 2026 to March 1, 2028 for no additional consideration.
The extension is treated as a deemed cancellation of the old swap and entry into a new one, but JAB Holdings B.V.’s economic exposure to the referenced shares, with an aggregate initial price not to exceed $100,000,000, remains unchanged and will be settled only in cash. The swap does not give JAB Holdings B.V. voting, investment or dispositive control over Krispy Kreme securities, and the reporting entities disclaim beneficial ownership except to the extent of their pecuniary interest.
JAB-affiliated entities filed Amendment No. 14 to their Schedule 13D on Krispy Kreme, Inc., confirming beneficial ownership of 74,190,990 common shares, or 43.31% of the company’s stock, based on 171,300,000 shares outstanding as of October 31, 2025.
The filing also reports that JAB Holdings B.V. and Banco Santander, S.A. extended a long cash-settled total return equity swap to March 1, 2028, providing economic exposure to Subject Shares with an aggregate initial price not exceeding $100,000,000. The JAB group’s exposure under this swap remains unchanged, and no share transactions were reported in the past 60 days.
Krispy Kreme reported weaker 2025 results while pushing a turnaround plan. Full-year net revenue fell to $1,522.6 million, down 8.6%, and the company posted a GAAP net loss of $523.8 million, largely driven by goodwill and asset impairments that pushed its net leverage ratio to 6.7x.
Despite this, fourth-quarter profitability improved: net revenue was $392.4 million (down 2.9%), but Adjusted EBITDA rose 21.0% to $55.6 million with margin expanding to 14.2%, and free cash flow was $27.9 million. Global Points of Access were reduced by 13.5% to 15,194 as underperforming doors were closed.
The company outlined a four-part turnaround centered on refranchising, lower capital intensity, margin expansion and “sustainable, profitable growth.” It agreed to sell its Japan operations to Unison Capital for about $65 million and plans to restructure its Western U.S. joint venture. For 2026, it targets systemwide sales growth of 2–4% from $1.96 billion, at least 100 new shops, capital spending of $50–$60 million, positive free cash flow and net leverage at or below 5.5x.
