CANTON, Mass. (May 4, 2017) - Dunkin' Brands Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: DNKN), the parent company of Dunkin' Donuts (DD) and Baskin-Robbins (BR), today reported results for the first quarter ended April 1, 2017.
“In the first quarter of 2017, we achieved mid-single digit operating income growth and double-digit earnings per share growth. While our Dunkin' Donuts U.S. comparable stores sales were flat in the quarter, these results, delivered against an increasingly-challenging environment for retail and restaurants, demonstrate the benefits of our asset-light, 100-percent franchised business model," said Nigel Travis, Dunkin’ Brands Chairman and CEO. "Going forward, we will continue to execute against our six-part strategy designed to drive growth and long-term competitive differentiation by positioning Dunkin’ as a beverage-led, to-go brand. Our goal is to ensure that Dunkin' is a place of positive transition in our guests' lives, the place that energizes them and sends them on their way to make the most of their day."
"We are updating our fiscal year 2017 earnings per share guidance to reflect a new accounting standard for share-based compensation, which requires us to change how we present certain items in our financial statements," said Kate Jaspon, acting Chief Financial Officer, Dunkin' Brands Group, Inc. "While our updated guidance reflects the realized benefit to our earnings in the first quarter, it does not reflect any potential future material impact as a result of the new accounting standard."

1 Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income margin, and adjusted net income are non-GAAP measures reflecting operating income and net income adjusted for amortization of intangible assets, long-lived asset impairments, impairment of our equity method investments, and certain other items, net of the tax impact of such adjustments in the case of adjusted net income. Diluted adjusted earnings per share is a non-GAAP measure calculated using adjusted net income. See “Non-GAAP Measures and Statistical Data” and “Dunkin' Brands Group, Inc. Non-GAAP Reconciliations” for further detail.
2 In the first quarter of 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Compensation–Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"), as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. As required by the updated accounting standard, excess tax benefits or deficiencies are now recorded to the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations, on a prospective basis, instead of additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheets. See "Adoption of New Accounting Standard" for further detail.
3 Systemwide sales include sales at franchisee- and company-operated restaurants, including joint ventures. While we do not record sales by franchisees, licensees, or joint ventures as revenue, and such sales are not included in our consolidated financial statements, we believe that this operating measure is important in obtaining an understanding of our financial performance. We believe systemwide sales information aids in understanding how we derive royalty revenue and in evaluating our performance relative to competitors.
4 Consolidated global net POD development for the three months ended March 26, 2016 reflects the previously-announced closing of 2 self-serve coffee stations within Speedway locations.
Global systemwide sales growth in the first quarter was primarily attributable to global store development.
Dunkin' Donuts U.S. comparable store sales in the first quarter were flat as an increase in average ticket was offset by a decline in traffic. Breakfast sandwich sales increased driven by value messaging around wake-up wraps and core sandwiches such as egg and cheese. Beverage sales were driven by the iced coffee category as Cold Brew sales continue to grow.
Baskin-Robbins U.S. comparable store sales were negative during the first quarter driven by a decline in traffic offset by increased average ticket. Sales of cups and cones increased due to increased sales of scoops and
the Warm Cookie Sandwich platform. Sales of take-home pints also increased during the first quarter. Sales of beverages, soft serve, and sundaes declined during the quarter.
In the first quarter, Dunkin' Brands franchisees and licensees opened 29 net new restaurants around the globe. This included 56 net new Dunkin' Donuts U.S. locations and 1 net new Baskin-Robbins U.S. location, offset by the net closure of 27 Dunkin' Donuts International locations and 1 Baskin-Robbins International location. Additionally, Dunkin' Donuts U.S. franchisees remodeled 81 restaurants and Baskin-Robbins U.S. franchisees remodeled 36 restaurants during the quarter.
Revenues for the first quarter increased $0.9 million, or 0.5%, compared to the prior year period due primarily to increased royalty income as a result of systemwide sales growth, as well as an increase in rental income due to an increase in the number of leases for franchised locations. These increases in revenues were offset by a decrease in sales at company-operated restaurants as there were no company-operated points of distribution during the first quarter of 2017 compared to 41 company-operated points of distribution in the prior year period.
Operating income and adjusted operating income for the first quarter increased $6.0 million, or 7.0%, and $5.4 million, or 5.9%, respectively, from the prior year period primarily as a result of the increase in royalty income. Additionally, the prior year period was unfavorably impacted by the operating results of company-operated restaurants. These increases in operating income and adjusted operating income were offset by a gain recognized in connection with the sale of real estate in the prior year period.
Net income and adjusted net income for the first quarter increased by $10.3 million, or 27.8%, and $10.0 million, or 24.6%, respectively, compared to the prior year period primarily as a result of the increases in operating income and adjusted operating income, as well as a decrease in income tax expense. The decrease in tax expense was driven by $6.1 million of excess tax benefits from share-based compensation, which are now included in the provision for income taxes as a result of the required adoption of a new accounting standard in the current quarter. Previously excess tax benefits were recorded within equity on the balance sheet.
Diluted earnings per share and diluted adjusted earnings per share for the first quarter increased by 27.5% to $0.51 and 22.7% to $0.54, respectively, compared to the prior year period as a result of the increases in net income and adjusted net income, respectively, offset by an increase in shares outstanding. The increase in shares outstanding from the prior year period was due primarily to the exercise of stock options and the new accounting standard adopted in the current quarter, offset by the repurchase of shares since the first quarter of 2016. Excluding the impact of excess tax benefits, diluted earnings per share and diluted adjusted earnings per share would have been $0.06 lower.

2 Net openings for the three months ended March 26, 2016 reflect the previously-announced closing of 2 self-serve coffee stations within Speedway locations.
Dunkin' Donuts U.S. first quarter revenues of $142.0 million represented an increase of 2.3% compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily a result of increases in royalty income driven by systemwide sales growth, franchise fees due to an increase in renewal income, and rental income driven by an increase in the number of leases for franchised locations. The increases in revenues were offset by a decline in sales at company-operated restaurants as there were no company-operated points of distribution in the first quarter of 2017.
Dunkin' Donuts U.S. segment profit in the first quarter increased to $108.0 million, an increase of $7.5 million over the prior year period, driven primarily by the increases in royalty income and franchise fees. Additionally, the prior year period was unfavorably impacted by the operating results of company-operated restaurants. The increases in segment profit were offset by a gain recognized in connection with the sale of real estate in the prior year period.

Dunkin' Donuts International first quarter systemwide sales increased 4.4% from the prior year period driven primarily by sales growth in Asia, the Middle East, and South America, offset by a decline in South Korea. Sales in South Korea and South America were positively impacted by favorable foreign exchange rates, while sales in Asia were negatively impacted by unfavorable foreign exchange rates. On a constant currency basis, systemwide sales increased by approximately 3%.
Dunkin' Donuts International first quarter revenues of $5.3 million represented a decrease of 27.0% from the prior year period. The decrease in revenues was primarily a result of a decline in franchise fees as the prior year period included a significant market development fee recognized upon entry into a new market.
Segment profit for Dunkin' Donuts International decreased $1.9 million to $1.9 million in the first quarter primarily as a result of the decrease in revenues.

Baskin-Robbins International systemwide sales increased 5.0% in the first quarter compared to the prior year period driven by sales growth in South Korea, Asia, and Canada, offset by declines in the Middle East and Japan. Sales in both South Korea and Japan were positively impacted by favorable foreign exchange rates. On a constant currency basis, systemwide sales increased by approximately 3%.
Baskin-Robbins International first quarter revenues decreased 2.8% from the prior year period to $26.1 million due primarily to a decrease in sales of ice cream products to our licensees in the Middle East. Systemwide sales and sales of ice cream products are not directly correlated within a given period due to the lag between shipment of products to licensees and retail sales at franchised restaurants, as well as the overall timing of deliveries between fiscal quarters.
First quarter segment profit decreased 4.8% from the prior year period to $8.0 million as a result of a decrease in net margin on ice cream driven by the decrease in sales.
COMPANY UPDATES
• | The Company today announced that the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.3225 per share, payable on June 14, 2017, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 5, 2017. |
FISCAL YEAR 2017 TARGETS
As described below, the Company is updating and reiterating certain targets regarding its 2017 performance:
• | The Company continues to expect low single digit comparable store sales growth for Dunkin' Donuts U.S. and Baskin-Robbins U.S. |
• | The Company continues to expect Dunkin' Donuts U.S. franchisees to add approximately 385 net new restaurants. It continues to expect Baskin-Robbins U.S. franchisees to add approximately 10 net new restaurants. |
• | Internationally, the Company continues to expect franchisees and licensees to add approximately 200 net new restaurants across the two brands. |
• | The Company continues to expect low-to-mid single digit revenue growth on both a 52- and 53-week basis (fiscal year 2016 was a 53-week year). |
• | The Company continues to expect mid-to-high single digit GAAP operating income growth and adjusted operating income growth on both a 52- and 53-week basis. |
• | The Company now expects GAAP diluted earnings per share of $2.22 to $2.30 (previously it expected $2.16 to $2.24) and diluted adjusted earnings per share of $2.40 to $2.43 (previously it expected $2.34 to $2.37), which are inclusive of the $0.06 of tax benefits recognized in the first quarter as a result of the adoption of a new accounting standard. This guidance excludes any potential future impact from material excess tax benefits in subsequent quarters of 2017. |
• | The Company expects full-year weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 93 million and a 36.5 percent effective tax rate, which amounts are inclusive of the impact of the excess tax benefit recognized in the first quarter. The $6.1 million excess tax benefit recognized in the first quarter reduced the expected full-year effective tax rate by approximately 200 basis points. |
The foregoing non-GAAP forward-looking financial measures are reconciled from the respective measures determined under GAAP in the attached tables “Dunkin' Brands Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries Non-GAAP Reconciliations.”
Adoption of New Accounting Standard
The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of 2017, which simplifies several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including excess tax benefits and classification in the statements of cash flows. The adoption resulted in a $6.1 million reduction to the provision for income taxes for the first quarter of 2017, or a 9.2 percentage point decrease in our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2017, due to the recognition of excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation. As a result, basic and diluted EPS and diluted adjusted EPS increased by approximately $0.06 in the first quarter of 2017. Prior periods have not been revised to reflect excess tax benefits in earnings, as only prospective application is permitted. Excess tax benefits will vary in future periods, as such amounts are dependent on the number of employee stock options exercised and fluctuations in the Company’s stock price. Additionally, the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the first quarter of 2017 excludes excess tax benefits from the assumed proceeds available to repurchase shares under the treasury stock method, which did not have a material impact in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 had no impact on cash paid for income taxes.

The Company's consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and other additional information have been provided with this press release. This information should be reviewed in conjunction with this press release.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained herein are not based on historical fact and are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the applicable securities laws and regulations. Generally, these statements can be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “feel,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “should,” or “would,” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. These risk and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the ongoing level of profitability of franchisees and licensees; our franchisees' and licensees' ability to sustain same store sales growth; changes in working relationships with our franchisees and licensees and the actions of our franchisees and licensees; our master franchisees' relationships with sub-franchisees; the strength of our brand in the markets in which we compete; changes in competition within the quick-service restaurant segment of the food industry; changes in consumer behavior resulting from changes in technologies or alternative methods of delivery; economic and political conditions in the countries where we operate; our substantial indebtedness; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; consumer preferences, spending patterns and demographic trends; the impact of seasonal changes, including weather effects, on our business; the success of our growth strategy and international development; changes in commodity and food prices, particularly coffee, dairy products and sugar, and other operating costs; shortages of coffee; failure of our network and information technology systems; interruptions or shortages in the supply of products to our franchisees and licensees; the impact of food borne-illness or food safety issues or adverse public or media opinions regarding the health effects of consuming our products; our ability to collect royalty payments from our franchisees and licensees; the ability of our franchisees and licensees to open new restaurants and keep existing restaurants in operation; our ability to retain key personnel; any inability to protect consumer credit card data and catastrophic events.
Forward-looking statements reflect management's analysis as of the date of this press release. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are more fully described in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including under the section headed “Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K. Except as required by applicable law, we do not undertake to publicly update or revise any of these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Measures and Statistical Data
In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth in this press release, the Company has included certain non-GAAP measurements such as adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income margin, adjusted operating income growth, adjusted net income, and diluted adjusted earnings per share, which present operating results on a basis adjusted for certain items. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures as key performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance internally. We also believe these non-GAAP measures provide our investors with useful information regarding our historical operating results. These non-GAAP measures are not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Use of the terms adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income margin, adjusted operating income growth, adjusted net income, and diluted adjusted earnings per share may differ from similar measures reported by other companies. These non-GAAP measures are reconciled from the respective measures determined under GAAP in the attached tables “Dunkin' Brands Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries Non-GAAP Reconciliations.”
Additionally, the Company has included metrics such as systemwide sales and comparable store sales growth, which are commonly used statistical measures in the quick service restaurant industry and are important to understanding the Company's performance.
Systemwide sales include sales at franchisee- and company-operated restaurants, including joint ventures. While we do not record sales by franchisees, licensees, or joint ventures as revenue, and such sales are not included in our consolidated financial statements, we believe that this operating measure is important in obtaining an understanding of our financial performance. We believe systemwide sales information aids in understanding how we derive royalty revenue and in evaluating our performance relative to competitors.
The Company uses “DD U.S. comparable store sales growth” and “BR U.S. comparable store sales growth,” which are calculated by including only sales from franchisee- and company-operated restaurants that have been open at least 78 weeks and that have reported sales in the current and comparable prior year week.
The Company uses “DD International comparable store sales growth” and "BR International comparable store sales growth," which generally represents the growth in local currency average monthly sales for franchisee-operated restaurants, including joint ventures, that have been open at least 13 months and that have reported sales in the current and comparable prior year month.

(a) In the first quarter of 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09. As required by the update, excess tax benefits or deficiencies are now recorded to the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations, on a prospective basis, instead of additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheets. As a result, the Company recognized $6.1 million of excess tax benefits from share-based compensation in the consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended April 1, 2017.

These changes were made based on the adoption of new accounting standards. The prior period has been revised to conform to the current period presentation for all such changes.
