Global systemwide sales growth in the second quarter was primarily attributable to global store development and Dunkin' Donuts U.S. comparable store sales growth (which includes stores open 54 weeks or more).
Dunkin' Donuts U.S. comparable store sales growth in the second quarter was driven by increased average ticket and higher traffic resulting from our continued product and marketing innovation. This includes strong beverage growth, led by cold beverage news such as the introduction of Iced Coffee flavors inspired by Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream as well as Berry Blast, Minute Maid® and Hot Chocolate Coolatta flavors; continued momentum across the breakfast sandwich platform highlighted by the national expansion of the Turkey Sausage Breakfast Sandwich in May; growth in donut sales led by a successful National Donut Day program; and growth in afternoon products including new Chicken and Tuna Salad Wraps and new Chicken Sandwiches.
Baskin-Robbins U.S. comparable store sales growth was driven by sales of Flavors of the Month, including Jamoca Heath, Blueberry Shortbread, and Triple Vanilla; increased sales of cakes around Mother's Day, Father's Day and graduation season; and limited time offers on take-home ice cream quarts.
In the second quarter, Dunkin' Brands franchisees and licensees opened 151 net new restaurants around the globe. This includes 63 net new Dunkin' Donuts U.S. locations, 50 net new Baskin-Robbins International locations, 33 net new Dunkin' Donuts International locations, and five net new Baskin-Robbins U.S. locations. Additionally, Dunkin' Donuts U.S. franchisees remodeled 141 restaurants during the quarter.
Revenues for the second quarter increased 5.9 percent compared to the prior year primarily from increased royalty income from the increase in systemwide sales, as well as increased sales of ice cream products.
Operating income for the second quarter increased $30.7 million, or 66.5 percent, from the prior year primarily as a result of a$20.7 million increase in the Bertico litigation reserve in the prior year, the increase in royalty income, and a gain recognized on the sale of 80 percent of our Baskin-Robbins Australia business, offset by a one-time $7.5 million charge related to a third-party product volume guarantee. Adjusted operating income increased $12.2 million, or 15.5 percent, from the second quarter of 2012 also as a result of the increase in royalty income and the gain from the Baskin-Robbins Australia sale.
Net income for the second quarter increased by $22.3 million, or 120.6 percent, compared to the prior year primarily as a result of the $30.7 million increase in operating income, offset by a $4.4 million increase in income tax expense and a $3.2 millionincrease in interest expense. Adjusted net income increased by $3.6 million, or 8.8 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2012 as a result of the increase in adjusted operating income, offset by increases in interest expense and income tax expense.
Diluted adjusted earnings per share increased by 24.2 percent to $0.41 for the second quarter of 2013, as a result of the increase in adjusted net income, as well as a decline in shares outstanding due to the repurchase of 15 million shares in August 2012 and approximately 400,000 shares repurchased under previous authorizations during the second quarter of 2013.
