WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Dec. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. (NYSE: KKD) (the "Company") today reported financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended October 28, 2007.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, 29 new Krispy Kreme stores, comprised of 8 factory stores and 21 satellites, were opened systemwide, and 17 Krispy Kreme factory stores were closed systemwide. This brings the total number of stores systemwide at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2008 to 423, consisting of 290 factory stores and 133 satellites. The net increase of 12 stores in the quarter reflects a net increase of 24 international stores and a net decrease of 12 domestic stores.
Third quarter systemwide sales decreased approximately 2.6% from the third quarter of last year. Satellite stores made up 31% of the total systemwide store count as of October 28, 2007 compared to 23% at October 29, 2006. Systemwide average weekly sales per store are lower than Company average weekly sales per store principally because satellite stores, which have lower average weekly sales than factory stores, are operated almost exclusively by franchisees. Systemwide average weekly sales per store decreased approximately 9.2% to approximately $36,400. Company Stores average weekly sales per store decreased 0.4% to approximately $52,900.
Company revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 decreased 11.7% to $103.4 million compared to $117.1 million in the third quarter of last year. Company Stores revenues decreased 11.3% to $72.8 million, Franchise revenues were flat at $5.7 million and KK Supply Chain revenues decreased 15.1% to $24.9 million.
The net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was $798,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $7.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the comparable period last year.
The Company recorded a net credit to impairment charges and lease termination costs of $268,000 in the third quarter this year, compared to a charge of $5.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Most of the prior year charge relates to underperforming stores, including stores closed and likely to be closed.
As of October 28, 2007, the Company's consolidated balance sheet reflects cash and indebtedness of approximately $23 million and $88 million, respectively. The maximum additional indebtedness permitted under the Company's credit facilities (and the amount of additional borrowings available to the Company under those facilities) was approximately $11 million at that date. During the first nine months of fiscal 2008, the Company prepaid approximately $21.9 million under the Company's $110 million term loan entered into in February 2007. A substantial portion of these prepayments was made in order to reduce the likelihood of violation of the financial covenants contained in the Company's credit facilities.
Several franchisees have been experiencing financial pressures which, in certain instances, appear to have become more exacerbated during fiscal 2008. Franchisees closed 25 stores in the first nine months of fiscal 2008. The Company believes franchisees will close additional stores in the foreseeable future, and the number of such closures is likely to be significant. Royalty revenues and most of KK Supply Chain revenues are directly correlated to sales by franchise stores and, accordingly, store closures have an adverse effect on the Company's revenues and results of operations.
"Although we still have much to do, performance improved in the third quarter compared to the second quarter, and the organization made progress on the transformation steps previously announced," said Daryl Brewster, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. Since the end of the second quarter, we have:
"As we look past the third quarter, we continue to focus on improving Company shop performance, driving the hub and spoke model, growing our international franchise business, refranchising certain domestic markets and reducing costs to help offset rising commodity prices," Brewster added.
Systemwide sales, a non-GAAP financial measure, include sales by both Company and franchise stores. The Company believes systemwide sales data are useful in assessing the overall performance of the Krispy Kreme brand and, ultimately, the performance of the Company. The Company's consolidated financial statements include sales by Company stores, sales to franchisees by the KK Supply Chain business segment, and royalties and fees received from franchisees, but exclude sales by franchise stores to their customers.
Krispy Kreme management will host a conference call to review third quarter results on December 6, 2007 at 4:30 p.m. (ET). A live webcast of the conference call will be available at www.KrispyKreme.com/investorrelations.html and www.Streetevents.com.

(6) The change in "same store sales" represents, on a Company and
systemwide basis, the aggregate on-premises sales (including
fundraising sales) during the current year period for all stores
which had been open for more than 56 consecutive weeks during the
current year period (but only to the extent such sales occurred in
the 57th or later week of each store's operation) divided by the
aggregate on-premises sales of such stores for the comparable weeks
in the preceding year period. Once a store has been open for at
least 57 consecutive weeks, its sales are included in the computation
of same stores sales for all subsequent periods. In the event a
store is closed temporarily (for example, for remodeling) and has no
sales during one or more weeks, such store's sales for the comparable
weeks during the earlier or subsequent period are excluded from the
same store sales computation.
(7) For Company off-premises sales, "average weekly number of doors"
represents the average number of customer locations to which product
deliveries are made during a week by Company Stores, and "average
weekly sales per door" represents the average weekly sales to each
such location by Company Stores.
