Krispy Kreme, Inc., a prominent player in the sweet treats industry, is known for its iconic Original Glazed® doughnuts and extensive network of fresh doughnut shops across 40 countries. In its recent third-quarter earnings report for 2024, Krispy Kreme highlighted a net revenue of $379.9 million, reflecting a 6.8% decline from the previous year, but positive organic revenue growth of 3.5%. This period also marked a strategic shift with the sale of its majority stake in Insomnia Cookies, resulting in a GAAP net income of $37.6 million.
Key financial metrics from the quarter include an adjusted EBITDA of $34.7 million, a decrease of 20.7% primarily due to the Insomnia Cookies sale. The company saw an 18% increase in its Global Points of Access, totaling 15,811, driven by a 21% rise in digital sales. Despite challenges in the U.S. and the U.K., international segments showed resilience with organic revenue growth in regions like Canada, Japan, and Australia.
The U.S. segment faced a revenue decline of 12.2%, affected by the Insomnia Cookies transaction, yet experienced a 2.5% organic growth driven by increased digital sales and expanded Points of Access. Internationally, revenue grew by 3.7%, supported by strong performance in Canada, Japan, and Australia. The Market Development segment saw a slight revenue dip but benefited from new openings and SG&A savings, leading to improved adjusted EBITDA margins.
Looking ahead, Krispy Kreme remains optimistic about its U.S. expansion, particularly through partnerships like the one with McDonald’s, and its focus on a capital-light franchise model internationally.
