By GlobalDataTotal company revenues rose 35.5% to $218.9 million in the first nine months of the year compared with $161.5 million in the same period of the prior year. Sales from company stores increased 29.3% to $156.5 million; revenues from franchise fees and royalties increased 76.5% to $6.7 million; and support operations sales increased 51.9% to $55.7 million.
Commenting on the third quarter results, Scott Livengood, Chairman, President and CEO of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, said: “Our performance continues to be strong across all sales channels and across the country. A very focused execution of our growth strategy — which is to open markets with highly visible stores, establish strong ties with our customers and communities, and ultimately gain greater market penetration through multiple channels of sales outside our store — has led to a quarter which exceeded our expectations.”
During the quarter, ten new Krispy Kreme stores were opened (including one commissary in Northern California). New markets entered included Buffalo, NY, Salt Lake City, UT, Cedar Rapids, IA, San Jose, CA, and Sacramento, CA. In addition, Houston, TX, Los Angeles, CA, Orlando, FL and greater Phoenix, AZ gained additional locations bringing the total number of stores at October 29, 2000 to 164. Since the end of the quarter, Krispy Kreme has opened an additional franchise store in Bakersfield, CA and a company store in Richmond, VA. The company increased its projected new store openings for the current fiscal year from 28 to 34 new stores and expects to open 36 new stores in fiscal 2002. Additional fourth quarter openings will include stores in Nashville, TN; Austin, TX; New Orleans, LA; Sacramento, CA; San Diego, CA; and two in Chicago, IL.
“This increase in store openings is the direct result of our franchisees’ success to date and their desire to accelerate their development, supported by their growing real estate and development capabilities. I’m very proud of what we’ve achieved together,” said Scott Livengood.
As a result of continuing strong sales momentum and the raised estimate of new store openings, the company increased earnings per share expectations to $1.05 for the current fiscal year and $1.30 for fiscal 2002.
The 63-year-old North Carolina-based company is a leading branded specialty retailer of premium quality doughnuts, including the company’s signature Hot Original Glazed. Krispy Kreme currently operates 166 stores in 28 states.
