Krispy Kreme Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Announces Turnaround Plan

Turnaround plan to deleverage the balance sheet and drive sustainable, profitable growth

CHARLOTTE, NC (August 7, 2025) – Krispy Kreme, Inc. (NASDAQ: DNUT) (“Krispy Kreme”, “KKI”, or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 29, 2025, and outlined a turnaround plan designed to deleverage the balance sheet and drive sustainable, profitable growth.

Second Quarter Highlights (vs Q2 2024)

•Net revenue of $379.8 million

•Organic revenue declined 0.8%

•GAAP net loss of $441.1 million, including non-cash goodwill and other asset impairment charges totaling $406.9 million

•Adjusted EBITDA of $20.1 million

•Cash used for operating activities of $32.5 million

•Global Points of Access (“POA”) increased 2,260, or 14.3%, to 18,113 which includes approximately 2,400 McDonald’s doors that were closed subsequent to Q2

“Our results for the second quarter primarily reflect the impact of unsustainable operating costs relative to unit demand in the McDonald’s USA partnership, which ended July 2, 2025. We are quickly removing our costs related to the McDonald’s partnership and growing fresh delivery through profitable, high-volume doors with major customers. We expect to begin recouping profitability in the third quarter.”

“Looking ahead, we have implemented a comprehensive turnaround plan aimed at unlocking our two biggest opportunities: profitable U.S. expansion and capital-light international franchise growth. This plan is designed to reduce leverage and deliver sustainable, profitable growth through refranchising, improving returns on capital, expanding margins, and driving sustainable, profitable U.S. growth,” said Krispy Kreme CEO Josh Charlesworth.

Turnaround Plan

The Company has implemented a comprehensive turnaround plan to deleverage the balance sheet and deliver sustainable, profitable growth through a focus on the following four components:

1.Refranchising: Improve financial flexibility through refranchising international markets and restructuring the joint venture in the Western U.S.

2.Driving Return on Invested Capital: Reduce capital intensity by using existing assets and focusing on franchisee development

3.Expanding Margins: Expand margins through greater operational efficiency, including outsourcing U.S. logistics

4.Driving Sustainable, Profitable Growth: Pursue U.S. growth based upon sustainable and profitable revenue streams

Second Quarter 2025 Consolidated Results (vs Q2 2024)

Krispy Kreme’s results reflect the work needed to maximize U.S. expansion and wider adoption of the capital-light international franchise model. Net revenue was $379.8 million in the second quarter of 2025, a decline of approximately 13.5% or $59.0 million, primarily due to the $64.2 million reduction associated with the sale of a majority stake in Insomnia Cookies Holdings, LLC (“Insomnia Cookies”) in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The Company sold its remaining ownership stake in Insomnia Cookies during the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Organic revenue declined by $2.9 million, or approximately 0.8%, as growth in Global Points of Access and Delivered Fresh Daily (“DFD”) revenues were more than offset by planned reduced discounting and expected consumer softness leading to a decline in doughnut shop transaction volume.

GAAP Net Loss was $441.1 million, compared to the prior year net loss of $4.9 million, which included non-cash goodwill and other asset impairment charges totaling $406.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. GAAP diluted loss per share was $2.55, compared to a loss of $0.03 in the same quarter last year.

Adjusted EBITDA declined to $20.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA Margin declined to 5.3% primarily driven by the impact of our now-ended McDonald’s USA partnership, and lower transaction volumes affecting operating leverage.

Adjusted Net Loss, diluted was $25.3 million for the quarter and Adjusted Diluted loss per share was $0.15.

Second Quarter 2025 Segment Results (vs Q2 2024)

U.S.: In the U.S. segment, net revenue declined by $59.2 million, or approximately 20.5%, primarily due to the $64.2 million reduction associated with the sale of a majority stake in Insomnia Cookies in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Retail transaction declines related to expected consumer softness, in addition to strategic door closures, led to an organic revenue decline of $6.9 million, or approximately 3.1%. Average revenue per door per week (“APD”) declined to $525, primarily driven by the impact of our now-ended McDonald’s USA partnership, with Sales Per Hub of $4.9 million.

U.S. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $22.7 million, or 69.6%, primarily driven by the sale of a majority stake in Insomnia Cookies in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the adverse impact of our now-ended McDonald’s USA partnership and lower transaction volumes affecting operating leverage.

International: In the International segment, organic revenue grew by $7.4 million, or approximately 5.9%, driven primarily by growth in Canada, Japan and Mexico. International net revenue grew by $7.5 million, or approximately 6.0%, with foreign currency translation impacts of $1.4 million. Points of Access declined by 3.3% due to strategic door closures in Japan and Mexico to optimize the DFD network.

International segment Adjusted EBITDA declined by $3.4 million, or 15.9%, with a margin decline of 360 basis points to 13.7% as strength in Japan was offset by the ongoing turnaround in the U.K. Importantly, U.K. margin improved sequentially, and the Company looks forward to continued progress from the new leadership team in that market.

Market Development: In the Market Development segment, net revenue declined by $7.3 million, or approximately 30.2%, reflecting a $3.9 million impact of franchise acquisitions. Market Development organic revenue declined by approximately 14.2%, as growth in markets such as France, Brazil, and the Middle East was more than offset by timing of product and equipment sales to franchisees.

Market Development Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $3.9 million, or 30.5%, with margin of 52.9%, down 20 basis points.

Balance Sheet and Capital Expenditures

During the first half of 2025, the Company invested $54.1 million, or 7.2% of net revenue, in capital expenditures, primarily in the U.S. to support previously committed initiatives aimed at bringing doughnuts closer to our consumers through nationwide expansion. This includes a new production hub that will be the first Hot Light Theater Shop in Minneapolis, MN opening later this year. Aside from this strategic location, the Company has since reduced investment in new capacity in favor of leveraging existing excess capacity for growth.

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company also amended its existing credit agreement to establish incremental term loan commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $125.0 million. The Company used the incremental capacity primarily to pay down its revolving credit facility. The amendment carries identical terms as the existing credit agreement regarding maturity date and interest rates.

As of June 29, 2025, the Company has total available liquidity of $243.8 million, which includes $21.3 million of cash and cash equivalents as well as undrawn committed capacity of $222.5 million under its credit facilities. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of June 29, 2025.

Capital Allocation

As previously announced, the Company halted the quarterly cash dividend to holders of the Company’s common stock. In the second quarter of 2025 the Company also sold its remaining ownership stake in Insomnia Cookies, with aggregate cash proceeds of $75 million used to reduce debt.

The Company is in active discussions to restructure its well-established joint venture with the WKS Restaurant Group (“WKS”) in the Western U.S., and expects to reduce its ownership stake. As previously announced, the Company has initiated the process to refranchise certain markets including Australia and New Zealand, Japan, Mexico, and the U.K. and Ireland. These efforts will provide the Company with greater financial flexibility, enabling debt paydown and focus on profitable, high return growth.

McDonald's USA Partnership

On June 24, 2025, the Company announced that, after careful consideration, Krispy Kreme and McDonald’s USA jointly decided to end their partnership and terminate their Business Relationship Agreement (the “Agreement”), effective July 2, 2025. The efforts to bring Krispy Kreme’s operating costs in line with unit demand were unsuccessful. The Company is focused on growing fresh delivery with profitable, high-volume retail points of distribution.

Goodwill and Other Asset Impairments

During the second quarter of 2025, management identified impairment indicators that required a quantitative assessment of goodwill. These indicators included that during the first half of 2025, the Company experienced a decline in its stock price and market capitalization, which became significant and sustained during the second quarter. Additionally, current operating results and updates to management’s internal forecasts were below previous forecasts. After completing its quantitative impairment test, management concluded that the estimated fair values of the U.S., U.K. and Ireland, and Australia and New Zealand reporting units had declined below their carrying values and management recognized a cumulative, non-cash partial goodwill impairment charge of $356.0 million (gross of income taxes) in the second quarter of 2025.

Additionally, in response to management’s updated forecasts and the termination of the Agreement with McDonald’s USA during the second quarter of 2025, Krispy Kreme recorded long-lived asset non-cash impairment charges of $22.1 million and lease impairment and termination costs of $28.9 million. These impairment charges, along with the partial goodwill impairment, are included in Goodwill and other asset impairments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Goodwill and other asset impairments do not have an impact on the Company’s compliance with the financial covenants under the Company’s debt arrangements.

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 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, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, 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 (Loss)/Income, Diluted” as net loss attributable to common shareholders, adjusted for 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 (Loss)/Income, Diluted converted to a per share amount.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted Net (Loss)/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.
