    المصدر: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 22 فبراير 2022 06:40:01   America/New_York

    Fourth quarter net revenue grew 13.8% with organic revenue growth of 13.9%
    Significant GAAP net income growth to +$4.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA grew 14.4% to $47.7 million
    Introduces 2022 guidance above our long term outlook

    CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Krispy Kreme, Inc. (NASDAQ: DNUT) (“Krispy Kreme” or the “Company”) today reported strong financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended January 2, 2022 with fourth quarter net revenue growing 13.8% year-over-year, or 21.5% adjusted for the extra 53rd week in 2020. For the fourth quarter, organic revenue grew 13.9%, including the now fully-exited legacy wholesale business, or 19.6% excluding this business, year-over-year. For the full year, net revenue grew 23.4%, while organic revenue grew 12.5%, or 21.4% excluding the legacy wholesale business.

    GAAP Net Income was $4.3 million compared to a loss of $24.8 million a year ago while GAAP diluted Earnings Per Share for the quarter was $0.01 compared to a loss of $0.21 last year. Adjusted diluted Earnings Per Share was $0.08 for the quarter, compared to $0.10 last year due to share dilution from the IPO. Adjusted EBITDA grew 14.4% in the quarter led by a 290 basis point improvement to U.S. and Canada margins, driven by the strength and efficiency of the Company’s fresh doughnut hub and spoke operating model. The economies of scale from adding over 2,000 Global Points of Access in the last 12 months, as well as successful price increases in September and November, more than offset wage and commodity inflation.

    Growth was driven by the performance and expansion of Krispy Kreme’s capital-efficient hub and spoke operating model, and strong performances across all three business segments. Global Points of Access, which reflect all locations where fresh doughnuts and cookies can be purchased, increased 25% year-over-year, providing customers access to Krispy Kreme in more than 10,000 locations around the world. International Sales per Hub grew 42% year-over-year, while U.S. and Canada Sales per Hub grew 14%.

    Commenting on the performance, CEO Mike Tattersfield stated, “Our fourth quarter and full year results demonstrate the benefits of our omni-channel model and global expansion strategy, which allow us to meet consumer demand with premium, fresh doughnuts. Our global Halloween campaign and seasonal limited time offerings resonated strongly with consumers which really maximizes the gifting and sharing occasions of the brand.”

    Mike continued, “Looking ahead, we are well-positioned to deliver another year of double-digit revenue growth in 2022. Our performance will be led by the expansion of our omni-channel model, as we continue to significantly expand our points of access. We will continue our transformation to the more profitable and capital efficient hub and spoke model in the U.S. and Canada, which will allow us to grow our most loved sweet treat brand. We are incredibly excited for the opportunity to open in at least three new countries in 2022 and expand our global footprint for years to come.”

    Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Consolidated Results

Total company organic revenue grew 13.9% in the quarter compared to the same quarter last year, and 15.9% on a two-year stack basis against 2019. Organic revenue growth in the quarter was driven by the International segment, as well as strong Delivered Fresh Daily (“DFD”) performance in the U.S. and Canada business, which is a reflection of weekly average sales per door growing more than 55% during the quarter compared to the prior year. Total Company organic revenue growth for the fourth quarter, excluding the exit of our legacy wholesale business, grew 19.6% compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, and was up 21.6% on a two-year stack basis excluding the exit of our legacy whole business with strong growth from both the U.S. and Canada and International segments.

Organic revenue grew 12.5% in 2021, or 21.4% excluding the exit of our legacy wholesale business, as well as 13.7% on a two-year stack basis, driven by the increase in points of access and higher sales per DFD door.

    GAAP Net Income for the quarter was $4.3 million, compared to a GAAP Net Loss of $24.8 million in 2020. Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter grew 14.4% to $47.7 million.

Adjusted Net Income grew 17.1% to $16.0 million in the quarter. GAAP Diluted EPS in the quarter was $0.01 compared to a net loss of $0.21 in the same quarter last year with Adjusted Diluted EPS decreasing to $0.08 from $0.10 in the fourth quarter of 2020, as a result of an increased share count following the IPO.

    For the full year 2021, GAAP Net Loss for 2021 was $14.8 million, compared to a GAAP Net Loss of $60.9 million in 2020. Adjusted EBITDA grew 29.2% to $187.9 million in 2021.

    Fourth Quarter and Full Year Market Segment Results

    U.S. and Canada: In the U.S. and Canada segment in the fourth quarter, net revenue grew 10.5% to $249.2 million from $225.4 million a year ago, driven by the continued execution of our omni-channel strategy, partially offset by one less week of sales this year compared to 2020. Organic revenue increased 9.1% driven by our omni-channel model, primarily the strength of DFD, as well as strong growth from Insomnia Cookies. Excluding the impact of exiting the legacy wholesale business, U.S. and Canada organic growth in the fourth quarter was 17.3%, with a two-year stack of 25.6% when compared to 2019. For 2021, net revenue grew 18.6% to $928.4 million while organic revenue increased 5.5%, or 18.3% excluding the impact of exiting the legacy wholesale business.

    U.S. and Canada Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter increased 42.3% to $31.8 million with margin expansion of 290 basis points to 12.8% driven primarily by the strong performance of our Hub and Spoke model from increased DFD doors and sales per door. Price increases were successfully implemented on fresh doughnuts during September and again in November to offset cost and labor pressures. For 2021, U.S. and Canada Adjusted EBITDA increased 17.5% to $107.6 million while margins were approximately flat at 11.6%.

    International: In the International segment, net revenue in the fourth quarter grew 25.7% to $90.0 million, with organic growth of 30.8%. Organic growth in the quarter was driven by successful limited time offerings, expansion of DFD and an increase in average sales per door. Growth was strong across all of our International markets including the UK, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand. For 2021, the International segment saw net revenue increase 44.7% to $333.0 million, with organic growth of 36.9% highlighting the strength of the model even through the pandemic.

    International Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter grew 24.6% over the prior year to $20.7 million, driven primarily by revenue growth from points of access expansion and efficiencies from our hub and spoke model, which led to a record $9.1 million sales per hub over the trailing twelve months. International Adjusted EBITDA margin was 23.1% for the quarter, approximately flat compared to the same period 2020. For 2021, International Adjusted EBITDA grew 82.8% to $81.4 million on margins of 24.5%, an increase of 510 basis points compared to 2020.

    Market Development: In the Market Development segment, net revenue grew 9.9% to $31.4 million, with organic growth of 8.8%. Net revenue growth was driven mainly by the acquisition of Krispy Kreme Japan in the fourth quarter of 2020, partially offset by franchise acquisitions in the U.S. For 2021, Market Development net revenue increased 12.7% to $123.0 million, with organic growth of 11.0%.

    Market Development Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter was approximately flat at $11.0 million, with strong increases in sales per hub in both domestic and international franchise as well as in Japan, offset by domestic franchise acquisitions. For 2021, Market Development Adjusted EBITDA increased 4.5% to $40.8 million.

    Balance Sheet & Capital Expenditures

    During the fourth quarter 2021, the company invested $36.0 million in capital expenditures, primarily for the growth of Hubs and Fresh Shops and $12.4 million for the acquisition of Krispy Kreme Canada.

    Non-GAAP Measures

    This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures including organic revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Fresh Revenue from Hubs with Spokes and Sales per Hub, which differ from results using U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

    1. Excludes Branded Sweet Treat Line distribution points and legacy wholesale business doors.
    2. Includes points of access that were acquired from franchisees in the U.S. and Canada. These points of access were previously included in the Market Development segment prior to the respective acquisition dates.
    3. Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we include Carts and Food Trucks in our calculation of global points of access. Carts and Food Trucks are non-producing, mobile (typically on wheels) facilities without walls or a door where product is received from a Hot Light Theater Shop or Doughnut Factory. They are primarily found in international locations, in airports, train stations, etc. Comparative data has been included in all periods presented above.
    4. DFD Doors for both the U.S. and Canada and Market Development segments exclude legacy wholesale doors, which have been declining consistent with our strategy to evolve our legacy wholesale business to focus on the new DFD model and our new Branded Sweet Treat Line. As of January 3, 2021, and December 29, 2019, the legacy wholesale doors were 1,508 and 4,693 for the U.S. and Canada segment, respectively, and 187 and 1,919 for the Market Development segment, respectively. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021 legacy wholesale doors for the U.S. and Canada and the Market Development segments were substantially eliminated.
    5. Includes locations in Japan, which were acquired in December 2020 and are now Company-owned. All remaining points of access in the Market Development segment relate to our franchise business. As of January 2, 2022, there were four Hot Light Theater Shops, 48 Fresh Shops and 105 DFD Doors in Japan operating. As of January 3, 2021, there were three Hot Light Theater Shops, 40 Fresh Shops and 24 DFD Doors in Japan operating.
