Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. (NYSE: KKD) recently reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended February 2, 2014, and raised its diluted EPS guidance for fiscal 2015 to reflect fewer forecasted shares outstanding as a result of share repurchases.

The fourth quarter and fiscal year ended February 2, 2014 included 13 and 52 weeks, respectively, compared to 14 and 53 weeks, respectively, for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended February 3, 2013. Accordingly, financial results for the fiscal 2014 periods are not directly comparable to those of the corresponding fiscal 2013 periods. The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to January 31, which periodically results in a 53-week year.

The sponsorship will be Chipotle's largest single sports partnership and will feature promotional programs with 12 teams, individual players, and programs across the entire league. "At the core of our effort to change the way people think about and eat fast food is our commitment to finding better, more sustainable sources for all of the ingredients we use," said Mark Crumpacker, Chipotle's chief marketing and development officer. "That value is one that is often shared by people with an active lifestyle. This partnership with MLS will allow us to further engage consumers in a sport we have long supported through grassroots efforts."
