Dunkin' Brands Group, Inc. announced long-lived asset impairment charges for the fourth quarter ended December 28, 2019. For the quarter, the company reported long-lived asset impairment charges of $190,000 against $439,000 a year ago.

For the fiscal year ended December 26, 2020, the Company expects low-single digit comparable store sales growth for Dunkin' U.S. and low-single digit comparable store sales growth for Baskin-Robbins U.S., low-to-mid single digit percent revenue growth, mid-single digit percent operating and adjusted operating income growth and GAAP diluted earnings per share of $2.96 to $3.05.

The Company reiterates its previously announced long-term targets through fiscal year 2021. The Company expects low-single digit percent comparable store sales growth for Dunkin' U.S., low-to-mid single digit percent revenue growth and mid-to-high single digit percent operating.

For year 2020, the Company expects to open between 200 to 250 net new Dunkin' U.S. units, excluding approximately 450 limited menu Dunkin' Speedway locations which are closing under a termination agreement entered into with Speedway and are expected to close by fiscal year end 2020. These locations represented less than 0.5% of Dunkin' U.S. annual system wide sales in 2019. As a result of this strategic decision, in 2020 the Company will report development results both with and without the Speedway closures included until the exit is completed. For year 2021, the company expects Dunkin' U.S. franchisees to open between 200 and 250 net new units annually.
