The increase in the gift card/certificate liability is due primarily to an increase in, and timing of, gift card activations. The franchisee profit-sharing liability represents amounts owed to franchisees from the net profits primarily on the sale of Dunkin’ K-Cup® pods, retail packaged coffee, and ready-to-drink bottled iced coffee in certain retail outlets.
