"Last quarter, we announced we were aligning our talent and capital to our business priorities, and we have taken significant action. We have restructured our management teams to maximize profitable U.S. expansion and capital-light international growth. We expect to soon award contracts to outsource U.S. logistics. Finally, we have begun a process to evaluate refranchising certain international markets. I believe these changes will drive capital efficient growth, as we continue our transformation into a bigger and better Krispy Kreme."

Fourth Quarter 2024 Consolidated Results (vs Q4 2023)

Krispy Kreme's fourth quarter results reflect the strength of the omni-channel model, delivering net revenue of $404.0 million, a decline of 10.4%, compared to $450.9 million in the same quarter last year primarily due to the sale of a majority ownership stake of Insomnia Cookies in the third quarter of 2024 ($101 million impact) and the 2024 Cybersecurity Incident (estimated $11 million impact). Organic revenue grew 1.8%, driven by the Company's first quarter of Delivered Fresh Daily ("DFD") sales in excess of $100 million worldwide. Organic revenue was impacted adversely by an estimated 280 basis points from lost revenue linked to the 2024 Cybersecurity Incident.

GAAP net loss was $22.2 million, compared to income in the prior year of $1.9 million. GAAP Diluted Loss per Share was $(0.13), a decline of $(0.15) from the same quarter last year.

Global Points of Access grew 24.1%, linked to the Company's accelerating U.S. expansion now reaching more than 1,900 McDonald's restaurants with daily deliveries of Krispy Kreme doughnuts, alongside growth internationally.

Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter declined 28.4% to $45.9 million, linked to an estimated $10 million dollar impact from the 2024 Cybersecurity Incident, with Adjusted EBITDA margins contracting 280 basis points to 11.4%. Adjusted EBITDA Margin reflects an estimated 210 basis point negative impact from the 2024 Cybersecurity Incident.

Adjusted Net Income, diluted declined to $1.2 million in the quarter from $15.1 million in the same quarter last year. Adjusted EPS declined $0.08 to $0.01 from $0.09 in the same quarter last year, due to increased interest expense and depreciation and amortization and an estimated impact of $0.04 due to the 2024 Cybersecurity Incident.

Full Year 2024 Consolidated Results (vs FY 2023)

Krispy Kreme's full year results reflect the sale of a majority ownership stake of Insomnia Cookies, as net revenue declined 1.2% to $1.67 billion in 2024, compared to $1.69 billion in the prior year. GAAP net income was $3.8 million, compared to a loss of $36.6 million. GAAP Diluted EPS was $0.02 compared to a loss of $0.23.

Total company organic revenue grew 5.0%, and was impacted adversely by an estimated 70 basis points from lost revenue due to the 2024 Cybersecurity Incident. Organic revenue growth was driven by Global Points of Access growth, strong marketing activations, and pricing actions.

Adjusted EBITDA declined 8.6% to $193.5 million, primarily linked to the sale of a majority ownership stake of Insomnia Cookies and an estimated $10 million impact from the 2024 Cybersecurity Incident. Adjusted Net Income, diluted declined to $19.2 million from $46.2 million in the prior year. Adjusted EPS declined $0.16 to $0.11 from $0.27 in the prior year, due to increased depreciation and amortization, as we invested in our global expansion as well as higher tax rates with a greater portion of earnings generated in higher tax rate jurisdictions.

Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the full year 2024 were 171.5 million, compared to 170.5 million for the full year 2023.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Segment Results (vs Q4 2023)

U.S.: In the U.S. segment, net revenue declined $50.9 million, or 17.2%, largely attributable to the sale of Insomnia Cookies ($57.4 million impact), a decline in retail sales, and the 2024 Cybersecurity Incident; partially offset by growth in the DFD business. Organic revenue declined by 1.2%, with an estimated headwind of 460 basis points attributable to the 2024 Cybersecurity Incident. Sales per Hub in the U.S. remained consistent at $4.9 million and DFD average sales per door per week decreased, as expected, and were $631, driven by changing customer mix.

U.S. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 44.0% to $23.6 million with Adjusted EBITDA margin contraction of 460 basis points to 9.6%, of which an estimated 350 basis points were attributable the 2024 Cybersecurity Incident.

International: In the International segment, net revenue grew $7.4 million, or 5.7%. International organic revenue grew 7.8%, driven by points of access growth of 648, or 14%, and continued premiumization efforts.

International Adjusted EBITDA declined 7.7% to $25.7 million with adjusted EBITDA margin declining approximately 270 basis points, as strength in Australia was offset by lower volume in the U.K. leading to deleveraging.

Market Development: In the Market Development segment, net revenue declined $3.4 million, or 14.2%, driven by the impact of franchise acquisitions. Organic revenue decline in the segment was 0.7%.

Market Development Adjusted EBITDA grew 6.8% to $11.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA margins expanded to 57.8%, driven by favorable sales mix and selling, general and administrative expense improvement.

Balance Sheet and Capital Expenditures

During the fourth quarter 2024, the Company invested $33.9 million in capital expenditures, driven primarily by investments in the Hub and Spoke model for the U.S. expansion of the DFD network. For the full year 2024, capital expenditures as a percentage of revenue were 7.25%.

In the full year 2024, the Company reduced its supply chain financing liabilities by $44.3 million, including a $23.2 million impact from the Insomnia Cookies divestiture. The company generated Operating Cash Flow of $45.8 million in the year.

2024 Cybersecurity Incident

As previously disclosed, unauthorized activity on a portion of our information technology systems resulted in the Company experiencing certain operational disruptions, including with online ordering in parts of the U.S. (the "2024 Cybersecurity Incident"). Online ordering, retail shops, and core business functions are now fully operational. The incident materially affected the Company's business operations and is reasonably likely to materially impact the Company's results of operations and financial condition. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we incurred approximately $3 million of remediation expenses related to the 2024 Cybersecurity Incident. In addition, we estimate that we lost revenue within our U.S. segment in an amount of $11 million related to the incident with a corresponding estimated $10 million impact on Adjusted EBITDA (includes margin on the aforementioned lost revenues, as well as operational inefficiencies). We expect to continue to incur costs in full year 2025 related to the incident, including operational inefficiencies early in the first quarter and costs related to fees for our cybersecurity experts and other advisors. The Company holds cybersecurity insurance that is expected to offset a portion of the losses and costs from the incident.

2025 Financial Outlook

Krispy Kreme issues the following guidance for the full year 2025 (vs FY2024)

Net Revenue of $1,550 to $1,650 million
Organic Revenue growth⁽¹⁾ of +5% to +7%
Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ of $180 to $200 million
Adjusted EPS⁽¹⁾ of $0.04 to $0.08
Income Tax rate between 32% and 36%
Capital Expenditures of 6% to 7% of net revenue
Interest Expense, net of $65 million to $75 million

The company expects leverage to trend towards 4.0x by year end 2025.

Non-GAAP Measures

This press release includes certain financial information that is not presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures including organic revenue growth/(decline), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted Net Income, Diluted, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow, Net Debt, Fresh Revenue from Hubs with Spokes and Sales per Hub. These non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, and it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Other companies may calculate similarly titled financial measures differently than we do or may not calculate them at all.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(unaudited and 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 certain other 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. "Adjusted EBITDA margin" reflects Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenues.

We define "Adjusted EBIT" as earnings before interest expense, net and income tax expense, with further adjustments for share-based compensation, certain strategic initiatives, acquisition and integration expenses, and certain other non-recurring, infrequent or non-core income and expense items. Adjusted EBIT 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 income/(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 certain other 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 EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBIT, 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 these non-GAAP measures 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 these non-GAAP measures supplementally.
