KRISPY KREME REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS DEMONSTRATING PROGRESS ON TURNAROUND
Advancing initiatives to deleverage the balance sheet and drive sustainable, profitable growth
CHARLOTTE, NC (November 6, 2025) – Krispy Kreme, Inc. (NASDAQ: DNUT) (“Krispy Kreme”, “KKI”, or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 28, 2025.
Third Quarter Highlights (vs Q3 2024)
•Net revenue of $375.3 million
•Organic revenue increased 0.6%
•GAAP net loss of $20.1 million
•Adjusted EBITDA of $40.6 million
•Cash provided by operating activities of $42.3 million, free cash flow of $15.5 million
•Global Points of Access (“POA”) decreased 960, or 6.1%, to 14,851 reflecting the strategic closure of unprofitable POA
“The third quarter marked a significant pivot as we implemented our comprehensive turnaround plan focused on Krispy Kreme’s two biggest opportunities: profitable U.S. expansion and capital-light international franchise growth. Early results showed progress over the second quarter with reduced leverage, positive free cash flow, and substantially higher adjusted EBITDA. I am particularly pleased by the ongoing optimization and profitable expansion of our U.S. fresh delivery model, productivity improvements, and the removal of costs related to our now-ended McDonald's USA partnership.”
“Looking ahead to the remainder of 2025 and beyond, we expect further improvement in adjusted EBITDA and positive free cash flow. We also anticipate progress on our refranchising agenda and continued profitable expansion with key customers in the U.S., all while reducing capital spending and paying down debt,” said Krispy Kreme CEO Josh Charlesworth.
Turnaround Plan
The Company’s comprehensive turnaround plan is designed 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.Improving Return on Invested Capital: Reduce capital intensity by using existing assets and focusing on franchise 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

Third Quarter 2025 Consolidated Results (vs Q3 2024 unless otherwise stated)
Krispy Kreme’s results reflect early progress in improving U.S. profitability and wider adoption of the capital-light international franchise model. Net revenue was $375.3 million in the third quarter of 2025, a decline of approximately 1.2% or $4.6 million, primarily due to the 2024 sale of a majority stake in Insomnia Cookies Holdings, LLC (“Insomnia Cookies”), which produced $10 million in net revenue in the third quarter of 2024. The Company sold its remaining ownership stake in Insomnia Cookies during the second quarter of 2025.
Organic revenue increased by $2.2 million, or approximately 0.6%, primarily driven by growth in the International segment. The organic revenue increase reflects a Global Points of Access decline of 960, or 6.1%, impacted by the strategic closure of underperforming doors.
GAAP net loss was $20.1 million, compared to the prior year net income of $37.6 million, which included a one-time, pre-tax $87.1 million gain in July 2024 related to the sale of a majority stake in Insomnia Cookies. GAAP diluted loss per share was $0.11, compared to earnings of $0.23 in the same quarter last year.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 17% to $40.6 million, more than double that of the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 10.8% from 9.1% positively impacted by productivity initiatives, SG&A savings, and the removal of costs from the now-ended McDonald’s USA partnership, combined with business interruption insurance recoveries of $9.3 million related to the losses incurred in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025 due to the Company’s 2024 cybersecurity incident. Adjusted net income, diluted, was $1.4 million for the quarter, up $3.9 million compared to prior year, and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.01.
As previously disclosed, in the third quarter of 2025, Krispy Kreme and McDonald’s USA jointly decided to terminate their Business Relationship Agreement, effective July 2, 2025. As demonstrated by the Company’s profitability, which increased significantly from the second quarter of 2025, Krispy Kreme immediately began removing costs related to this partnership and is focused on growing fresh delivery with profitable, high-volume retail points of distribution.
Third Quarter 2025 Segment Results (vs Q3 2024 unless otherwise stated)
U.S.: In the U.S. segment, net revenue declined by $12.2 million to $216.2 million, or approximately 5.3%, primarily due to the 2024 sale of a majority stake in Insomnia Cookies, which produced $10 million in net revenue in the third quarter of 2024. Strategic door closures and lower retail transactions led to an organic revenue decline of $4.7 million, or approximately 2.2%. Sequentially, average revenue per door per week (“APD”) increased 18% to $617, primarily driven by the exit of lower volume, unprofitable doors.
U.S. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $7.1 million to $21 million, or 50.9%, significantly aided by the timing of cybersecurity-related insurance recoveries of $9.3 million. Excluding cybersecurity insurance recoveries and the Insomnia Cookies sale, U.S. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $1.4 million compared to the third quarter of 2024 and increased $1.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2025. The sequential improvement in Adjusted EBITDA was despite lagging costs related to the now-ended McDonald’s USA partnership early in the third quarter of 2025, demonstrating meaningful improvement resulting from the turnaround plan initiatives.
International: In the International segment, net revenue grew by $9.5 million, or approximately 7.3%, with a foreign currency translation benefit of $1.2 million. International organic revenue grew by $8.1 million to $138.8 million, or approximately 6.2%, driven primarily by continued momentum in Canada, Japan, and Mexico and recovery in the UK. Points of Access declined by 10.2% due to strategic door closures in Japan and Mexico to optimize the Company’s delivered fresh network.
International segment Adjusted EBITDA increased by $0.4 million, or 1.7%, to $23.2 million driven by revenue growth in Japan and Mexico. The margin decline of 90 basis points to 16.5% was due to the ongoing turnaround in the UK where there was strong sequential Adjusted EBITDA growth improvement as the new UK leadership team makes continued progress.
Market Development: In the Market Development segment, net revenue declined by $1.9 million to $18.9 million, or approximately 9.2%, reflecting the $0.9 million impact of franchise acquisitions in fiscal 2024. Market Development organic revenue declined by approximately 5.3%, as growth in royalty revenue from international markets including Brazil, South Korea, and the Middle East was more than offset by lower product sales and limited equipment sales in the quarter. Market Development Adjusted EBITDA increased by $0.7 million, or 6.4% to $12 million with a margin of 63.5%, up 930 basis points, mainly due to changes in revenue mix.
Balance Sheet and Capital Expenditures
On a year-to-date basis, the Company invested $80.8 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 consumers through nationwide expansion. This includes a Hot Light Theater Shop and production hub in Minneapolis, MN that will open this month. Overall, the Company has reduced investment in building new hubs in favor of leveraging existing excess capacity for growth where available.
As of September 28, 2025, the Company has total available liquidity of $215.2 million, which includes $30.7 million of cash and cash equivalents as well as undrawn committed capacity of $184.5 million under its credit facilities. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 28, 2025.
Refranchising
The Company is making progress toward signing refranchising agreements for certain international markets. It also plans to restructure its well-established joint venture in the Western U.S. with WKS Restaurant Group (“WKS”), which today represents approximately 15% of U.S. revenues. The Company expects to reduce its ownership stake to a minority position by 2026.
These efforts are expected to provide the Company with greater financial flexibility and enable debt paydown.

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 Income/(Loss), Diluted” as net (loss)/income 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 Income/(Loss), Diluted converted to a per share amount.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted Net Income/(Loss), 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.
