For the fiscal year ended January 28, 2001, systemwide sales increased 40.5% to $448.1 million from $318.9
million for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2000. This is a result of an increase in company store sales of

Diluted earnings per share increased to $1.10 for the year from $0.61 per share in the prior year.
Commenting on company's financial performance, Scott Livengood, Chairman, President and CEO of Krispy
Kreme Doughnuts, said: "I am pleased to report that our momentum from the first three quarters continued into
the fourth quarter and contributed to record results for fiscal 2001. We once again achieved strong results across
all major sales channels and across the country. I attribute our success during this first year as a public company
to maintaining a clear focus on our business strategy, continued support by our loyal customers and an
organization comprised of dedicated and passionate Krispy Kremers. It has been another great quarter and year
for our company. I am very proud of what our employees and franchise partners have been able to accomplish."
During the quarter, eleven new Krispy Kreme stores were opened. New markets entered included San Diego,
New Orleans, Bakersfield, Rochester and Austin. In addition, six markets gained additional locations bringing the
total number of stores at January 28, 2001 to 174. Since the end of the quarter, Krispy Kreme has opened two
additional franchise stores in Southern California and one additional franchise store in Dallas/Ft. Worth.
The company also provided guidance for fiscal 2002 generally and for the first quarter specifically. The
company's long-term business model is for 20% revenue growth, mid-single digit comparable store sales growth,
and 25% earnings per share growth annually. The company's expectations for fiscal 2002 are consistent with
this model, which would result in diluted earnings per share of $1.38. For the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the
company expects comparable store sales growth of mid-single digits and diluted earnings per share of $.34, a
26% improvement above the comparable period last year. These earnings per share expectations do not give
effect to the two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend payable on March 19, 2001 to shareholders
of record as of the close of business on March 5, 2001.
The 63-year-old North Carolina-based company is a leading branded specialty retailer of premium quality
doughnuts, including the company's signature Hot Original Glazed. Krispy Kreme currently operates 177 stores in
28 states.
