KRISPY KREME REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS DEMONSTRATING SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS ON TURNAROUND

Reduces net leverage, expands adjusted EBITDA margin, and delivers positive free cash flow

CHARLOTTE, NC (May 7, 2026) – Krispy Kreme, Inc. (NASDAQ: DNUT) (“Krispy Kreme”, “KKI”, or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 29, 2026.

First Quarter 2026 Highlights (vs Q1 2025)

•Net revenue of $367.0 million declined 2.2%, reflecting the strategic closure of underperforming doors completed in the third quarter of 2025

•Systemwide sales of $485.3 million increased 0.7% in constant currency excluding sales attributable to the now-ended McDonald’s USA partnership

•GAAP net loss of $22.7 million improved $10.7 million

•Adjusted EBITDA of $33.1 million increased 38.0%

•Cash provided by operating activities of $20.2 million increased $41.0 million, free cash flow of $11.4 million increased $58.1 million

“The first quarter highlighted significant progress across every pillar of our turnaround plan. We reduced net leverage, increased adjusted EBITDA margin by 260 basis points, and delivered positive free cash flow. We also closed two refranchising transactions, expanded access to our fresh doughnuts in the U.S. quarter-over-quarter, and accelerated the outsourcing of U.S. logistics, which is now complete. Strong consumer demand during recent holidays such as Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day also demonstrated that we remain a top choice for gifting, sharing, and celebrating,” said Krispy Kreme CEO Josh Charlesworth.

“We expect this momentum to continue through 2026, driven by profitable growth in the U.S. with key strategic partners, higher digital sales, and international expansion. For the full year, we are issuing guidance for net revenue and adjusted EBITDA, updating our net leverage reduction target, and reaffirming our outlook for systemwide sales growth.”

Turnaround Plan

The Company’s comprehensive turnaround plan, announced in August 2025, is designed to deleverage the balance sheet and deliver sustainable, profitable growth. The four components of the plan, along with progress on each, are as follows:

1)Refranchising: Improve financial flexibility through refranchising international markets and the joint venture in the Western U.S.

a.Refranchised the Company’s operations in Japan in March 2026.

b.Refranchised the joint venture in the Western U.S. in March 2026.

2)Improving Return on Invested Capital: Reduce capital intensity by using existing assets and focusing on franchise development.

a.Capital expenditures decreased 66% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the year-ago period.

b.Opened 26 shops during the first quarter of 2026, nearly all of which are franchised.

c.Entered into a franchise agreement to expand into the Netherlands in late 2026.

3)Expanding Margins: Expand margins through greater operational efficiency, including outsourcing U.S. logistics.

a.Consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin increased from 6.4% to 9% year-over-year, including a 480 basis point increase in the U.S. segment.

b.Completed outsourcing of U.S. logistics in April 2026.

4)Driving Sustainable, Profitable Growth: Pursue U.S. growth based upon sustainable and profitable revenue streams.

a.Added 276 doors in the U.S. with strategic partners during the first quarter of 2026 on top of the 200 doors added in the fourth quarter of 2025.

b.Average U.S. revenue per door per week (“APD”) increased year-over-year 16.7% to $685.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 2, 2025, Krispy Kreme, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an incremental assumption agreement and amendment (the “First Amendment”), by and among the Company, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc., as borrower (the “Parent Borrower”), the other loan parties party thereto, with the lenders party thereto and BNP Paribas (“BNP”), as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). On May 7, 2025, the Company entered into another incremental assumption agreement and amendment (the “Second Amendment” and, together with the First Amendment, collectively, the “Amendments” and each, an “Amendment”), by and among the Company, the Parent Borrower, the other loan parties party thereto, with the lender party thereto and the Administrative Agent. Each Amendment amends the Parent Borrower’s existing credit agreement, dated as of March 23, 2023 (as amended and as otherwise modified and in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Amendments, the “Existing Credit Agreement”; the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended by the Amendments, the “Amended Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Parent Borrower, the lenders, and other parties party thereto from time to time, the Administrative Agent and BNP, as collateral agent. The First Amendment, among other things, (a) established incremental term loan commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $110,000,000 and (b) imposed certain restrictions on the ability to make Restricted Payments (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), including payments of dividends, if the Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) exceeds 3.00:1.00. The Total Net Leverage Ratio was 3.94 to 1.00 as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The Second Amendment established incremental term loan commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $15,000,000. The Parent Borrower borrowed $125,000,000 under the Amendments following their respective execution and delivery. The incremental borrowings made pursuant to each Amendment (i) were used to pay fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Amendment and (ii) will be used for general corporate purposes of the Parent Borrower and its subsidiaries (including to finance working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and other investments) and for any other purpose not prohibited under the related loan documents. Except as described in the following sentence, the additional commitments established pursuant to each Amendment and the loans made pursuant thereto have identical terms as those set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement applicable to the existing commitments and loans thereunder (including with respect to interest rates (including the Applicable Rate), maturity date, mandatory prepayments and voluntary prepayments). The incremental term loans made pu
