"Second quarter sales growth was below our expectations with Dunkin' Donuts U.S. comparable store sales not accelerating as fast or to the degree that we anticipated after a difficult first quarter. We believe this was largely the result of macroeconomic challenges facing consumers, as evidenced across the retail and the QSR industries, along with an unseasonably cold, rainy start to the spring season," said Nigel Travis, Chairman & CEO, Dunkin' Brands Group, Inc. "Dunkin' Donuts U.S. transaction growth was encouraging and comparable store sales gradually improved throughout the quarter with June average weekly sales reaching the highest volume on record. We remain confident in our ability to drive long-term growth through our product and marketing innovation, including our mobile and loyalty programs. In fact, we're excited to announce that we recently eclipsed 7.9 million downloads of the Dunkin' Donuts mobile app, and we are nearing 1.3 million DD Perks Rewards members."

"In addition to the impact of Dunkin' Donuts U.S. comparable store sales, our full-year earnings per share target is also being affected by weak performance by our Baskin-Robbins joint venture in Japan along with lower-than-anticipated profit from the sale of ice cream in the Baskin-Robbins International business," said Paul Carbone, CFO, Dunkin' Brands Group, Inc. "While we are updating certain 2014 targets, we are maintaining our long-term growth targets."

Global systemwide sales growth in the second quarter was primarily attributable to global store development and Dunkin' Donuts U.S. comparable store sales growth (which includes stores open 54 weeks or more).

Dunkin' Donuts U.S. comparable store sales growth in the second quarter was driven by higher traffic and increased average ticket resulting from our continued focus on product and marketing innovation. Growth was driven by beverages, led by Iced Coffee, Frozen Beverages, and Hot and Iced Espresso; by breakfast sandwiches and associated add-ons like Hash Browns, led by the Chicken Apple Sausage Breakfast Sandwich; and by donuts including the Blueberry Cobbler and flower-shaped donuts and the celebration of National Donut Day in June. Traffic growth accounted for more than half of the comparable store sales growth in the second quarter.

Baskin-Robbins U.S. comparable store sales growth was driven by sales of Cups & Cones, Cakes, and Beverages as a result of a new program offering guests a free waffle cone with the purchase of a second scoop of ice cream, the Mother's and Father's Day holidays as well as the launch of online ice cream cake ordering.

In the second quarter, Dunkin' Brands franchisees and licensees opened 151 net new restaurants around the globe. This includes 75 net new Dunkin' Donuts U.S. locations, 47 net new Baskin-Robbins International locations, 17 net new Dunkin' Donuts International locations, and 12 net new Baskin-Robbins U.S. locations. Additionally, Dunkin' Donuts U.S. franchisees remodeled 94 restaurants during the quarter.

Revenues for the second quarter increased 4.6 percent compared to the prior year period primarily from increased royalty income due to systemwide sales growth.

Operating income for the second quarter increased $10.8 million, or 14.0 percent, from the prior year period primarily as a result of the increase in revenues and a gain recognized in connection with the sale of all company-owned restaurants in the Atlanta market. Additionally, the prior year period included a one-time $7.5 million charge related to a third-party product volume guarantee and a $7.0 million gain related to the sale of 80 percent of our Baskin-Robbins Australia business. Adjusted operating income increased $3.0 million, or 3.3 percent, from the second quarter of 2013 as a result of the increase in revenues and gain on the sale of company-owned restaurants in Atlanta, offset by the gain from the sale of the Baskin-Robbins Australia business recognized in the prior year period.

Net income for the second quarter increased by $5.4 million, or 13.2 percent, compared to the prior year period primarily as a result of the increase in operating income of $10.8 million and a $3.1 million decrease in interest expense, offset by a $9.2 million increase in income tax expense. Adjusted net income increased by $6.3 million, or 14.3 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2013, as a result of the increase in adjusted operating income and decrease in interest expense.

Diluted adjusted earnings per share increased by 14.6 percent to $0.47 for the second quarter of 2014 compared to the prior year period as a result of the increase in adjusted net income and a decrease in shares outstanding. The decrease in shares outstanding from the prior year period is due primarily to the repurchase of shares, offset by the exercise of stock options. During the second quarter, the Company repurchased a total of 1,260,000 shares.

    1 Prior year amounts reflect change in segment profit measure. Please refer to "Segment Profit Comparability" for further detail.

Dunkin' Donuts U.S. revenues of $136.5 million represented an increase of 6.0 percent year-over-year. The increase was primarily a result of increased royalty income, as well as franchise fees due primarily to timing of franchise renewals and an increase in development year-over-year. The increases were offset by a decline in sales at company-owned restaurants due to the sale of all company-owned restaurants in the Atlanta market early in the second quarter.

Dunkin' Donuts U.S. segment profit in the second quarter increased $9.7 million over the prior year period to $101.0 million, which was driven primarily by revenue growth and a gain recognized in connection with the sale of the company-owned restaurants in the Atlanta market.

    2 Prior year POD counts have been adjusted to reflect the results of an internal POD count audit.

Dunkin' Donuts International second quarter systemwide sales increased 3.5 percent from the prior year period, driven by sales growth in the Middle East, Germany, Spain, and India, offset by a decline in South Korea. The decline in South Korea was partially offset by favorable foreign exchange. On a constant currency basis, systemwide sales increased by approximately 2 percent.

Dunkin' Donuts International second quarter revenues of $4.5 million represented an increase of 15.0 percent year-over-year. The increase in revenue was primarily a result of an increase in royalty income and franchise fees for openings in new international markets.

Segment profit for Dunkin' Donuts International increased $1.4 million to $3.0 million, primarily due to revenue growth and a reduction in expenses due to investments in marketing in the prior year. Also contributing to the increase in segment profit was a partial recovery of a previously-reserved note receivable related to our Spain joint venture, as well as losses incurred from our Spain joint venture in the prior year period.

    2 Prior year POD counts have been adjusted to reflect the results of an internal POD count audit.

Baskin-Robbins International systemwide sales increased 4.7 percent from the prior year period driven by increases in sales in South Korea and the Middle East, offset by a decline in sales in Japan. On a constant currency basis, systemwide sales increased by approximately 4 percent.

Baskin-Robbins International second quarter revenues decreased 3.7 percent from the prior year period to $33.6 million due primarily to sales of ice cream products to our Australian joint venture in the prior year period in conjunction with the sale of 80 percent of our Baskin-Robbins Australia business, as well as a decline in royalty income.

Second quarter segment profit decreased 39.6 percent from the prior year period to $11.7 million due primarily to a $7.0 million gain recognized on the sale of the Baskin-Robbins Australia business in the prior year period and a decrease in income from our Japan joint venture.

FISCAL YEAR 2014 TARGETS

As described below, the Company has updated or reiterated its performance targets regarding its 2014 expectations.


    --  The Company now expects Dunkin' Donuts U.S. comparable store sales
        growth of 2 to 3 percent (previously it expected 3 to 4 percent
        comparable store sales growth) and it continues to expect Baskin-Robbins
        U.S. comparable store sales growth of 1 to 3 percent.
    --  The Company continues to expect that Dunkin' Donuts U.S. will add
        between 380 and 410 net new restaurants representing greater than 5
        percent net restaurant growth and continues to expect Baskin-Robbins
        U.S. will add between 5 and 10 net new restaurants.
    --  Internationally, the Company continues to target opening 300 to 400 net
        new restaurants across the two brands.
    --  Globally, the Company continues to expect to open between 685 and 800
        net new units.
    --  The Company now expects revenue growth of between 5 and 7 percent
        (previously it expected 6 to 8 percent revenue growth) and adjusted
        operating income growth of between 7 and 9 percent (previously it

    --  The Company now expects adjusted earnings per share of $1.73 to $1.77

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," "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; successful westward expansion; 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, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income margin, 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 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 table "Dunkin' Brands Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries Non-GAAP Reconciliations."

Additionally, the Company has included metrics such as systemwide sales growth 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.

The Company uses "systemwide sales growth" to refer to the percentage change in sales at both franchisee- and company-owned restaurants from the comparable period of the prior year. Changes in systemwide sales are driven by changes in comparable store sales and changes in the number of restaurants.

The Company uses "DD U.S. comparable store sales growth," "BR U.S. comparable store sales growth," "DD International comparable store sales growth," and "BR International comparable store sales growth," which are calculated by including only sales from franchisee- and company-owned restaurants that have been open at least 54 weeks and that have reported sales in the current and comparable prior year week.

Segment Profit Comparability

Beginning in fiscal year 2014, the key measure used by the Company to assess the performance of and allocate resources to each reportable segment, referred to as segment profit, was revised to better align the segments with our consolidated performance measures and incentive targets. As a result, segment profit now reflects operating income adjusted for amortization of intangible assets, long-lived asset impairments, and other non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual charges, and does not reflect the allocation of any corporate charges. Prior to fiscal year 2014, segment profit was measured based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairment charges, loss on debt extinguishment and refinancing transactions, other gains and losses, and unallocated corporate charges. The segment profit amounts included herein for the three months ended June 29, 2013 have been restated to reflect this change to the measurement of segment profit to ensure comparability.
