Insights
BGS reported concerning Q3 results with
Key concerns include:
- Base business net sales dropped
4.4% due to volume declines - Adjusted gross margin contracted to
22.2% from22.7% - Interest expense increased
17.6% to$42.2M
The guidance revision is particularly troubling, with management lowering expectations across all metrics. The slower-than-expected recovery in sales trends and continued volume pressure suggest ongoing consumer resistance to higher prices. The company's high debt load and rising interest expenses further strain profitability.
The segment performance breakdown reveals structural weaknesses across the portfolio:
- Specialty segment:
9.9% sales decline with margin pressure from lower Crisco pricing - Frozen & Vegetables: Concerning
19.7% sales drop and73.8% adjusted EBITDA decline - Only Spices & Flavor Solutions showed modest growth at
2.6%
Market trends indicate continued pressure as consumers remain price-sensitive and trading down to private label alternatives. The company's ability to maintain market share while managing cost pressures will be important for recovery through 2025.

Prior period segment results in this earnings press release have been recast to reflect the change from one single operating segment to four operating segments.

For the third quarter and first three quarters of 2024, the decrease in Specialty segment net sales was primarily due to lower Crisco pricing, driven by decreased commodity costs, coupled with modest declines in volumes across the business unit in the aggregate. The decrease in Specialty segment adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter and first three quarters of 2024 was primarily due to lower volumes, partially offset by decreased costs in certain raw materials and improvements in freight costs.

Full Year Fiscal 2024 Guidance
B&G Foods revised its net sales guidance for fiscal 2024 to a range of
B&G Foods provides earnings guidance only on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide a reconciliation of the Company’s forward-looking adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments that could be made for deferred taxes; acquisition/divestiture-related expenses, gains and losses (which may include third-party fees and expenses, integration, restructuring and consolidation expenses, amortization of acquired inventory fair value step-up and gains and losses on the sale of certain assets); gains and losses on extinguishment of debt; impairment of assets held for sale; impairment of intangible assets; non-recurring expenses, gains and losses; and other charges reflected in the Company’s reconciliation of historic non-GAAP financial measures, the amounts of which, based on past experience, could be material. For additional information regarding B&G Foods’ non-GAAP financial measures, see “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Items Affecting Comparability” below.
Conference Call
B&G Foods will hold a conference call at 4:30 p.m. ET today, November 5, 2024 to discuss third quarter 2024 financial results. The live audio webcast of the conference call can be accessed at www.bgfoods.com/investor-relations. A replay of the webcast will be available following the conference call through the same link.
About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Items Affecting Comparability
“Adjusted net income” (net income (loss) adjusted for certain items that affect comparability), “adjusted diluted earnings per share” (diluted earnings (loss) per share adjusted for certain items that affect comparability), “base business net sales” (net sales without the impact of acquisitions until the acquisitions are included in both comparable periods and without the impact of discontinued or divested brands), “EBITDA” (net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization), “adjusted EBITDA” (EBITDA as adjusted for cash and non-cash acquisition/divestiture-related expenses, gains and losses (which may include third-party fees and expenses, integration, restructuring and consolidation expenses, amortization of acquired inventory fair value step-up and gains and losses on the sale of certain assets), gains and losses on extinguishment of debt, impairment of assets held for sale, impairment of intangible assets, and non-recurring expenses, gains and losses), “segment adjusted EBITDA” (adjusted EBITDA for operating segments), “adjusted gross profit” (gross profit adjusted for acquisition/divestiture-related expenses and non-recurring expenses included in cost of goods sold) and “adjusted gross profit percentage” (gross profit as a percentage of net sales adjusted for acquisition/divestiture-related expenses and non-recurring expenses included in cost of goods sold) are “non-GAAP financial measures.” A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to adjust for certain items that affect comparability. This information is provided in order to allow investors to make meaningful comparisons of the Company’s operating performance between periods and to view the Company’s business from the same perspective as the Company’s management. Because the Company cannot predict the timing and amount of these items that affect comparability, management does not consider these items when evaluating the Company’s performance or when making decisions regarding allocation of resources.
Additional information regarding EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, segment adjusted EBITDA and reconciliations of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) and, in the case of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, to net cash provided by operating activities, is included below for the third quarter and first three quarters of 2024 and 2023, along with the components of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA. Also included below are reconciliations of the non-GAAP terms adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share and base business net sales to the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows.
End Notes

Please see “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Items Affecting Comparability” above for the definition of the non-GAAP financial measures “base business net sales,” “adjusted diluted earnings per share,” “adjusted net income ,” “EBITDA,” “adjusted EBITDA,” “segment adjusted EBITDA,” “adjusted gross profit” and “adjusted gross profit percentage,” as well as information concerning certain items affecting comparability and reconciliations of the non-GAAP terms to the most comparable GAAP financial measures. |

Segment net sales and segment adjusted EBITDA are the primary measures used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) to evaluate segment operating performance and to decide how to allocate resources to segments. The Company’s CODM is the Company’s chief executive officer. Segment adjusted EBITDA excludes unallocated corporate items, depreciation and amortization, acquisition/divestiture-related and non-recurring expenses, impairment of intangible assets, gains and losses on sales of assets, interest expense, and income tax expense or benefit. Unallocated corporate items consist of centrally managed corporate functions, including selling, marketing, procurement, centralized administrative functions, insurance, and other similar expenses not directly tied to segment operating performance. Depreciation and amortization expenses are neither maintained nor available by operating segment, as the Company’s manufacturing, warehouse, and distribution activities are centrally managed. These items that are centrally managed at the corporate level, and therefore excluded from the measure of segment adjusted EBITDA, are reviewed by the CODM. Expenses that are managed centrally but can be attributed to a segment, such as warehousing and transportation expenses, are generally allocated based on sales. |

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures used by management to measure operating performance. A non‑GAAP financial measure is defined as a numerical measure of the Company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows. The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for cash and non‑cash acquisition/divestiture‑related expenses, gains and losses (which may include third-party fees and expenses, integration, restructuring and consolidation expenses, amortization of acquired inventory fair value step-up, and gains and losses on the sale of certain assets); gains and losses on extinguishment of debt; impairment of assets held for sale; impairment of intangible assets; and non-recurring expenses, gains and losses. |
|
Management believes that it is useful to eliminate these items because it allows management to focus on what it deems to be a more reliable indicator of ongoing operating performance and the Company’s ability to generate cash flow from operations. The Company uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in the Company’s business operations to, among other things, evaluate the Company’s operating performance, develop budgets and measure the Company’s performance against those budgets, determine employee bonuses and evaluate the Company’s cash flows in terms of cash needs. The Company also presents EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because the Company believes they are useful indicators of the Company’s historical debt capacity and ability to service debt and because covenants in the Company’s credit agreement and the Company’s senior notes indentures contain ratios based on these measures. As a result, reports used by internal management during monthly operating reviews feature the EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA metrics. However, management uses these metrics in conjunction with traditional GAAP operating performance and liquidity measures as part of its overall assessment of company performance and liquidity, and therefore does not place undue reliance on these measures as its only measures of operating performance and liquidity. |
|
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to operating income (loss), net income (loss) or any other GAAP measure as an indicator of operating performance. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not complete net cash flow measures because EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are measures of liquidity that do not include reductions for cash payments for an entity’s obligation to service its debt, fund its working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions and pay its income taxes and dividends. Rather, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are potential indicators of an entity’s ability to fund these cash requirements. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not complete measures of an entity’s profitability because they do not include certain costs and expenses and gains and losses described above. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. However, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA can still be useful in evaluating the Company’s performance against the Company’s peer companies because management believes these measures provide users with valuable insight into key components of GAAP amounts. |

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures used by management to measure operating performance. The Company defines adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share as net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share adjusted for certain items that affect comparability. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments to net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share to eliminate the items identified in the reconciliation above. This information is provided in order to allow investors to make meaningful comparisons of the Company’s operating performance between periods and to view the Company’s business from the same perspective as the Company’s management. Because the Company cannot predict the timing and amount of these items, management does not consider these items when evaluating the Company’s performance or when making decisions regarding allocation of resources. |

(1) | Base business net sales is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management to measure operating performance. The Company defines base business net sales as the Company’s net sales excluding (1) the net sales of acquisitions until the net sales from such acquisitions are included in both comparable periods and (2) net sales of discontinued or divested brands. The portion of current period net sales attributable to recent acquisitions for which there is no corresponding period in the comparable period of the prior year is excluded. For each acquisition, the excluded period starts at the beginning of the most recent fiscal period being compared and ends on the first anniversary of the acquisition date. For discontinued or divested brands, the entire amount of net sales is excluded from each fiscal period being compared. The Company has included this financial measure because management believes it provides useful and comparable trend information regarding the results of the Company’s business without the effect of the timing of acquisitions and the effect of discontinued or divested brands. |

Adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit percentage are non-GAAP financial measures used by management to measure operating performance. The Company defines adjusted gross profit as gross profit adjusted for acquisition/divestiture-related expenses and non-recurring expenses included in cost of goods sold and adjusted gross profit percentage as gross profit percentage (i.e., gross profit as a percentage of net sales) adjusted for acquisition/divestiture-related expenses and non-recurring expenses included in cost of goods sold. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments to gross profit and gross profit percentage to eliminate the items identified in the reconciliation above.
