Insights

The Simply Good Foods Company's recently reported financial results exhibit a modest increase in net sales, rising from $300.9 million to $308.7 million. Despite a slight dip in net income and earnings per share (EPS), the company has managed to maintain financial stability with an adjusted EPS increase and a notable rise in adjusted EBITDA from $60.8 million to $62.0 million. The company's reaffirmation of its fiscal year 2024 outlook suggests confidence in its growth trajectory, expecting net sales to increase at the high end of their 4-6% target range.

Investors should note the company's strategic emphasis on marketing and merchandising for the 'New Year, New You' season, which is anticipated to bolster sales in the upcoming quarters. The focus on volume-driven sales growth and the planned gross margin expansion indicate a robust operational strategy. However, it is crucial to monitor the execution of these growth initiatives and their impact on profitability, especially given the planned significant investments in marketing and organizational capabilities.

Simply Good Foods' performance in the nutritional foods and snacking sector is particularly noteworthy given the 8% increase in retail takeaway, which outpaces the net sales growth. This indicates a strong consumer demand for their products, likely driven by health-conscious trends and the company's effective distribution. The timing of shipments and the alignment with the 'New Year, New You' in-store programming suggest a strategic approach to capitalize on seasonal consumer behavior.

Moreover, the company's acceleration plans for Quest and the revitalization plan for Atkins could resonate well with the market's shift towards protein-rich and low-carb diets. The ability to maintain and grow market share in the competitive health food space will be critical and Simply Good Foods appears to be leveraging its brand strength and market positioning to achieve this. Close attention to consumer preferences and agile adaptation to market changes will be key factors in sustaining the observed growth momentum.

The Simply Good Foods Company's financial results reflect broader economic trends, such as consumer spending patterns in the health and wellness segment. The company's strategy to drive volume growth amidst a dynamic economic environment showcases its resilience and adaptability. The inclusion of a fifty-third week in the fiscal year 2024 calculations is a temporal factor that investors should consider when interpreting year-over-year comparisons.

While the company projects net sales growth at the higher end of its stated algorithm, the actual economic impact will depend on factors such as inflationary pressures, consumer discretionary spending and supply chain efficiencies. The anticipated gross margin expansion could be indicative of effective cost management strategies or pricing power in the marketplace, which are crucial in a period of economic uncertainty. The long-term success of Simply Good Foods will hinge on its ability to navigate macroeconomic challenges while executing its strategic growth initiatives.

DENVER, Jan. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Simply Good Foods Company (Nasdaq: SMPL) (“Simply Good Foods,” or the “Company”), a developer, marketer and seller of branded nutritional foods and snacking products, today reported financial results for the thirteen weeks ended November 25, 2023.

First Quarter Summary:(1)

  • Net sales of $308.7 million versus $300.9 million
  • Net income of $35.6 million versus $35.9 million
  • Earnings per diluted share (“EPS”) of $0.35 versus $0.36
  • Adjusted Diluted EPS(2) of $0.43 versus $0.42
  • Adjusted EBITDA(4) $62.0 million versus $60.8 million

Reaffirm fiscal year 2024 Net Sales and Adjusted EBITDA(3) outlook(4):

  • Net sales expected to increase at the high end of the Company’s long-term algorithm of 4-6%, including the benefit of a fifty- third week
  • Adjusted EBITDA(3) anticipated to increase slightly greater than the net sales growth rate

"We are pleased with our fiscal first quarter financial results and marketplace performance that were in line with estimates," said Geoff Tanner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Simply Good Foods. "Simply Good Foods retail takeaway in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, in the combined measured and unmeasured channels, was solid and increased slightly more than 8%,(5) driven by volume growth. As expected, retail takeaway outpaced net sales growth of 2.6% due primarily to timing of shipments versus the year ago period related to "New Year, New You" in-store programming."

"Our first quarter marketplace results are a positive start to the year and, while early, the second quarter is off to a good start. Additionally, we have strong marketing and merchandising plans in place for "New Year, New You" season which started this week and will run through the second quarter of fiscal 2024. We're pleased with the progress we've made on the acceleration plans for Quest and the revitalization plan for Atkins. We are confident in our strategy and execution and we believe we are positioned to drive sustained profitable growth. As such, we reaffirm our full year fiscal 2024 outlook and expect net sales growth, driven by volume, to be at the high end of our 4-6% long-term algorithm, including the benefit of a fifty-third week. We continue to anticipate solid gross margin expansion during the year and meaningful investments in marketing and growth initiatives, as well as organizational capabilities. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA is expected to increase slightly higher than the net sales growth rate. We're excited about our prospects and thankful for the efforts of our passionate employees who continue to drive the business forward."

Fiscal First Quarter 2024 Results

Net sales increased $7.8 million, or 2.6%, to $308.7 million. As expected, sales performance was driven by Quest volume growth which more than offset Atkins softness. North America and International net sales increased 2.6% and 0.7%, respectively, versus last year.

Total Simply Good Foods retail takeaway for the thirteen weeks ended November 26, 2023, increased 7.1% in the U.S. measured channels of IRI MULO + Convenience Stores. In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, total Simply Good Foods combined measured and unmeasured channel U.S. retail takeaway increased about 8%.(5) Quest retail takeaway in the combined U.S. measured and unmeasured channels increased about 19% and Atkins was down about 4%.

Gross profit was $115.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, an increase of $4.1 million from the year ago period. Gross margin was 37.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 versus 36.9% last year, an increase of 40 basis points. The improvement in gross margin was primarily due to lower ingredient and packaging costs.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company reported net income of $35.6 million compared to $35.9 million for the comparable period of fiscal 2023.

Operating expenses of $63.3 million increased $4.8 million versus the comparable period of 2023. Selling and marketing expenses increased $3.5 million to $32.0 million primarily due to investments in growth initiatives and higher advertising costs. General and administrative ("G&A") expenses of $27.0 million increased $1.3 million compared to the year ago period primarily due to higher stock-based compensation and executive transition costs.

Net interest income and interest expense was $4.9 million, a decline of $2.1 million versus the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The interest expense decline was due to a lower term loan debt balance versus the year ago period. Interest income increased by $1.0 million due to higher cash balances and the related increase in interest rates versus the year ago period and other sources.

Adjusted EBITDA(3), a non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company that makes certain adjustments to net income calculated under GAAP, was $62.0 million versus $60.8 million in the year ago period.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company reported earnings per diluted share (“Diluted EPS”) of $0.35 versus $0.36 in the year ago period. The diluted weighted average total shares outstanding in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was approximately 101.1 million versus 100.7 million in the year ago period.

Adjusted Diluted EPS(3), a non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company that makes certain adjustments to Diluted EPS calculated under GAAP, was $0.43 versus $0.42 in the year ago period.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company had cash of $121.4 million. Cash flow from operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was about $47.5 million, an increase of $38.8 million compared to last year. During the quarter, the Company repaid $10.0 million of its term loan debt, and at the end of the quarter, the outstanding principal balance was $275.0 million. Subsequent to the close of the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company repaid an additional $25.0 million of its term debt.

Outlook(4)

Given the good start to the year, the Company reaffirms its full year fiscal 2024 outlook. The Company expects sales growth to be driven by volume and has strong advertising and marketing plans in place, as well as innovation, merchandising and promotions that should drive sustained, overall, financial and marketplace results.

Additionally, the Company expects lower supply chain costs in fiscal 2024, which will result in strong gross margin expansion and provide it with flexibility to meaningfully invest in marketing and growth initiatives, as well as new organizational capabilities. Therefore, the Company continues to anticipate the following for the full year fiscal 2024:

  • Net sales expected to increase at the high end of the Company's long-term algorithm of 4-6%, including the benefit of a fifty-third week; and
  • Adjusted EBITDA(4,6) anticipated to increase slightly greater than the net sales growth rate.

Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as alternatives to net income as an indicator of operating performance or as alternatives to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (each as determined in accordance with GAAP). Simply Good Foods defines EBITDA as net income or loss before interest income, interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA as further adjusted to exclude the following items: stock-based compensation expense, executive transition costs and other non-core expenses. The Company believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, when used in conjunction with net income, are useful to provide additional information to investors. Management of the Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to supplement net income because these measures reflect operating results of the on-going operations, eliminate items that are not directly attributable to the Company’s underlying operating performance, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to the key metrics the Company’s management uses in its financial and operational decision making. The Company also believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in its industry. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in the non-GAAP calculation.

The following unaudited table provides a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is net income, for the thirteen weeks ended November 25, 2023 and November 26, 2022:

Reconciliation of Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to diluted earnings per share as an indicator of operating performance. Simply Good Foods defines Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share as diluted earnings per share before depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and executive transition costs, on a theoretical tax effected basis of such adjustments. The tax effect of such adjustments to Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share is calculated by applying an overall assumed statutory tax rate to each gross adjustment as shown in the reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA, as previously defined. The assumed statutory tax rate reflects a normalized effective tax rate estimated based on assumptions regarding the Company's statutory and effective tax rate for each respective reporting period, including the current and deferred tax effects of each adjustment, and is adjusted for the effects of tax reform, if any. The Company consistently applies the overall assumed statutory tax rate to periods throughout each fiscal year and reassesses the overall assumed statutory rate on annual basis. The Company believes that the inclusion of these supplementary adjustments in presenting Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, when used in conjunction with diluted earnings per share, are appropriate to provide additional information to investors, reflects more accurately operating results of the on-going operations, enhances the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects and allows for greater transparency with respect to the key metrics the Company uses in its financial and operational decision making. The Company also believes that Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in its industry. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share may not be comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in the non-GAAP calculation.

The following unaudited tables below provide a reconciliation of Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is diluted earnings per share, for the thirteen weeks ended November 25, 2023 and November 26, 2022:

  Thirteen Weeks Ended
  November 25, 2023 November 26, 2022
Diluted earnings per share $0.35  $0.36 
     
Depreciation and amortization  0.06   0.05 
Stock-based compensation expense  0.04   0.03 
Executive transition costs  0.00    
Tax effects of adjustments (1)  (0.02)  (0.02)
Adjusted diluted earnings per share $0.43  $0.42 
(1) This line item reflects the aggregate tax effect of all non-tax adjustments reflected in the preceding line items of the table. The tax effect of each adjustment is computed (i) by dividing the gross amount of the adjustment, as shown in the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation, by the number of diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the applicable fiscal period and (ii) applying an overall assumed statutory tax rate of 25% for the thirteen weeks ended November 25, 2023, as well as the thirteen weeks ended November 26, 2022.

Reconciliation of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which Simply Good Foods defines as the total debt outstanding under our credit agreement with Barclays Bank PLC and other parties (“Credit Agreement”), reduced by cash and cash equivalents, and divided by the trailing twelve months of Adjusted EBITDA, as previously defined.

The following unaudited table below provides a reconciliation of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA as of November 25, 2023:
