Financial Outlook

As of March 30, 2025, Krispy Kreme doughnuts are now available in more than 2,400 McDonald's restaurants. The Company is reassessing the deployment schedule together with McDonald's while it works to achieve a profitable business model for all parties and does not expect to launch in any additional restaurants in the second quarter of 2025.

Krispy Kreme continues to believe in the long-term opportunity of profitable growth through the U.S. nationwide expansion including McDonald's.

Given macroeconomic softness and the uncertainty around the McDonald's deployment schedule, the Company is withdrawing its prior full year outlook and not updating it at this time. Regarding the second quarter of 2025, the Company expects to deliver:

  • Net Revenue of $370 to $385 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $30 to $35 million
