Insights

Simply Good Foods delivered a solid Q2 fiscal 2025 performance with $359.7 million in net sales (up 15.2%) and adjusted EBITDA of $68 million (increasing 17.6% year-over-year). The company's strategic acquisition of OWYN is proving successful, contributing $33.8 million (10.8%) to revenue growth, while organic net sales grew 4.4%.

Revenue performance shows interesting brand dynamics: Quest growing at ~13% retail takeaway and OWYN surging at 52%, while Atkins declined ~10%. This divergence suggests the company's multi-brand strategy is providing meaningful portfolio diversification benefits despite challenges with its legacy Atkins brand.

The gross margin decline of 120 basis points to 36.2% warrants attention, though it's primarily attributed to the OWYN acquisition integration. The company maintained strong fiscal discipline, repaying $50 million of term loan debt during the quarter ($100 million year-to-date), resulting in a healthy net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio of 0.7x.

Management's reaffirmation of FY2025 guidance (net sales growth of 8.5-10.5% and adjusted EBITDA growth of 4-6%) demonstrates confidence in their execution strategy despite mixed brand performance. The company's focus on protein-rich, low-sugar products positions it well in a growing consumer segment, though the Atkins performance suggests potential market share challenges within specific categories.

DENVER, April 09, 2025 (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 and twenty-six weeks ended March 1, 2025. The acquisition of Only What You Need, Inc. ("OWYN") was completed on June 13, 2024. Therefore, the Company's year-ago performance for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended February 24, 2024, does not include results of the OWYN business. The reference to "organic" or "legacy" Simply Good Foods in this press release encompasses Simply Good Foods' business excluding OWYN.

Second Quarter Summary:(1)

  • Net sales of $359.7 million versus $312.2 million
  • Net income of $36.7 million versus $33.1 million
  • Earnings per diluted share (“EPS”) of $0.36 versus $0.33
  • Adjusted Diluted EPS(2) of $0.46 versus $0.40
  • Adjusted EBITDA(3) $68.0 million versus $57.8 million

Reaffirming Fiscal Year 2025(4) Outlook:

  • Net sales expected to increase 8.5% to 10.5%
  • Adjusted EBITDA expected to increase 4% to 6%
  • The fifty-third week in fiscal year 2024 is an approximately 2-percentage point headwind to both Net Sales and Adjusted EBITDA growth in fiscal year 2025 and is incorporated in the outlook above

"I am very pleased with our second quarter and first half results. We are executing well, adding new doors, winning with innovation, and driving brand awareness and household penetration of our brands" said Geoff Tanner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Simply Good Foods. "Simply Good Foods grew second quarter retail takeaway 7%, with organic(5) net sales growth up over 4%. Strong top-line enabled Adjusted EBITDA growth of 18% year-over-year, which also benefited from favorable commodities and strong cost discipline. In these uncertain times, we remain excited about the mainstreaming of consumer demand for high protein, low-sugar, low-carb foods and beverages, and we are confident our differentiated portfolio of three uniquely positioned brands puts us at the forefront of this generational shift."

Second Quarter 2025 Results

Net sales increased $47.5 million, or 15.2%, to $359.7 million. OWYN net sales contributed $33.8 million, or 10.8%, to reported net sales growth, while organic net sales grew 4.4%, driven by Quest. International organic net sales of $6.4 million declined $2.1 million versus the comparable year ago period.

Total Simply Good Foods retail takeaway(6) increased about 7% driven by strong Quest and OWYN point-of-sales growth of about 13% and 52%, respectively. Atkins retail takeaway was off about 10%.

Gross profit was $130.1 million, an increase of $13.3 million, or 11.4%, from the year ago period. The increase in gross profit was driven by organic volume growth and the inclusion of OWYN, partially offset by a $0.4 million non-cash inventory step-up purchase accounting adjustment related to the OWYN Acquisition. As a result, gross margin was 36.2%, a 120 basis points decrease versus last year, driven primarily by OWYN. The non-cash inventory step-up related to the OWYN Acquisition was a 10 basis points headwind to gross margin in the quarter.

Operating expenses of $75.4 million increased $6.6 million versus the comparable year ago period. Selling and marketing expenses increased $0.4 million to $35.1 million primarily due to the inclusion of OWYN offsetting declines on the legacy business. General and administrative ("G&A") expenses of $36.0 million increased $6.1 million compared to the year ago period. Excluding stock-based compensation of $4.7 million, integration expenses of $2.0 million, and term loan transaction fees of $0.7 million, second quarter fiscal year 2025 G&A increased $3.0 million to $28.6 million, driven primarily by the OWYN Acquisition.

One-time Business Transaction costs related to the OWYN Acquisition were $0.2 million.

Net interest income and interest expense was $5.6 million, an increase of $1.0 million versus the comparable year ago period. The interest expense component increase was primarily driven by a higher term loan debt balance due to the OWYN Acquisition.

Net income of $36.7 million increased $3.6 million, or 10.9%, as compared to $33.1 million in the comparable year ago period.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company that makes certain adjustments to net income calculated under GAAP, was $68.0 million versus $57.8 million in the year ago period.

Gross profit was $260.6 million, compared to $232.0 million in the year ago period. The increase in gross profit was driven primarily by the inclusion of OWYN, partially offset by a $1.4 million non-cash inventory step-up purchase accounting adjustment related to the OWYN Acquisition. As a result, gross margin was 37.2%, representing a decline of 20 basis points versus the comparable year ago period. Favorable commodity expenses were offset by the inclusion of OWYN. The non-cash inventory step-up related to the OWYN Acquisition was a 20 basis point headwind.

Operating expenses of $151.3 million increased $19.2 million versus the comparable year ago period. Selling and marketing expenses increased $1.4 million to $68.1 million primarily driven by the inclusion of OWYN offsetting declines on the legacy business. General and administrative ("G&A") expenses of $74.1 million increased $17.2 million compared to the year ago period. Excluding stock-based compensation of $8.3 million, integration expenses of $6.9 million, and term loan transaction fees of $0.7 million, second quarter year-to-date fiscal year 2025 G&A increased $9.5 million to $58.2 million, driven primarily by the OWYN Acquisition.

One-time Business Transaction costs related to the OWYN Acquisition were $0.8 million.

Net interest income and interest expense was $12.7 million, an increase of $3.1 million versus the comparable year ago period. The interest expense component increase was primarily driven by a higher term loan debt balance due to the OWYN Acquisition.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

At the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company had cash of $103.7 million and an outstanding principal balance on its term loan of $300.0 million. During the quarter, the Company repaid $50.0 million of its term loan debt, bringing fiscal year-to-date repayments to $100.0 million. Since the closing of the OWYN Acquisition, when the term loan balance increased by $250.0 million, the Company has repaid $190.0 million. Cash flow from operations was about $63.3 million versus $94.0 million in the year ago period. The decline was primarily due to lower net working capital.

As of March 1, 2025, the Company's trailing twelve-month Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio was 0.7x(7).

CFO Succession Plan

On January 28, 2025, the Company announced Chief Financial Officer Shaun Mara's plan to retire, effective July 3, 2025. In connection with Mr. Mara's retirement, the Company also announced the hiring of Christopher J. Bealer as Senior Vice President of Finance, as of April 1, 2025. Mr. Bealer is expected to succeed Mr. Mara as Chief Financial Officer upon Mr. Mara's retirement.

Fiscal Year 2025 Outlook

Due to solid retail takeaway and strong Adjusted EBITDA growth to start the year, the Company reaffirms its fiscal year 2025 outlook. The Company expects organic net sales growth to be driven primarily by volume. The Company is also reaffirming its outlook for gross margin, which is still expected to decline approximately 200 basis points versus fiscal year 2024, with favorable commodity expenses year-to-date, ongoing productivity and cost savings initiatives, and pricing expected to be offset by higher input costs in the second half, as well as preliminary estimates of expected costs related to recently announced tariffs.

Therefore, the Company anticipates the following in fiscal year 2025:

  • Net Sales expected to increase 8.5% to 10.5%
    • OWYN fiscal year 2025 Net Sales expected to be in the $140-150 million range
  • Adjusted EBITDA expected to increase 4% to 6%
  • The fifty-third week in fiscal year 2024 is an approximately 2-percentage point headwind to both Net Sales and Adjusted EBITDA growth in fiscal year 2025 and incorporated in the outlook above
  • Assuming a comparable full year of OWYN results are included in fiscal year 2024, as well as the exclusion of the fifty-third week in fiscal year 2024, fiscal year 2025 is expected to be in line with the Company's long-term algorithm; net sales growth in the 4-6% range and Adjusted EBITDA growth slightly greater than the net sales increase

The foregoing outlook assumes current economic conditions and consumer purchasing behavior remain generally consistent over the balance of the Company's fiscal year.

The Company does not provide a forward-looking reconciliation of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA to Net Debt to Consolidated Net Income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, expected for fiscal year 2025, because we are unable to provide such a reconciliation without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for certain components of consolidated net income and the respective reconciliations, and the inherent difficulty of predicting what the changes in these components will be throughout the fiscal year.

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, business transaction costs, purchase price accounting inventory step-up, integration costs, term loan transaction fees, 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 twenty-six weeks ended March 1, 2025, and February 24, 2024:

  Thirteen Weeks Ended Twenty-Six Weeks Ended

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 stock-based compensation expense, executive transition costs, business transaction costs, purchase price accounting inventory step-up, integration costs, term loan transaction fees, and other non-core expenses 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 twenty-six weeks ended March 1, 2025, and February 24, 2024:

         
  Thirteen Weeks Ended Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
  March 1, 2025 February 24, 2024 March 1, 2025 February 24, 2024

(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 and twenty-six week periods ended March 1, 2025, as well as the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended February 24, 2024.
(2)Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share amounts are computed independently for each quarter. Therefore, the sum of the quarterly Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share amounts may not equal the year to date Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share amounts due to rounding.

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 March 1, 2025:
