Insights

SpartanNash's Q2 results reveal a mixed picture. While net sales decreased 3.5% to $2.23 billion, the company maintained its fiscal 2024 guidance, suggesting confidence in its long-term strategy. The decrease in net earnings from $0.57 to $0.34 per diluted share is concerning, primarily due to lower volumes and restructuring charges. However, the company's focus on margin-enhancing programs and its Customer Value Proposition initiative could potentially offset these challenges.

The improvement in cash generated from operating activities, up 166% to $132.1 million, is a positive sign of effective working capital management. The reduction in the net long-term debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio from 2.4x to 2.2x also indicates improved financial health. Investors should closely monitor the impact of the company's price reduction strategy on 6,000 products, as it could affect margins in the short term but potentially drive volume growth.

SpartanNash's strategy to pilot a Customer Value Proposition initiative is a smart move in the current economic climate. By focusing on freshness, value and convenience, the company is addressing key consumer priorities. The decision to lower prices on 6,000 products demonstrates a proactive approach to maintaining market share in a competitive grocery landscape.

However, the 2.5% decrease in comparable store sales in the Retail segment suggests challenges in consumer demand. The acquisition of Metcalfe's Market stores helped offset some of this decline, indicating that strategic acquisitions could be a viable growth path. The 4.8% decrease in Wholesale segment sales, primarily due to reduced volumes in national accounts, warrants attention and may require targeted strategies to reverse this trend.

Reaffirms Fiscal 2024 Guidance

Pilots Customer Value Proposition in Retail Segment

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Aug. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Food solutions company SpartanNash (the "Company") (Nasdaq: SPTN) today reported financial results for its 12-week second quarter ended July 13, 2024.

"The team's execution of our transformational initiatives has created a foundation for future growth while contributing to our margin gains year-to-date," said SpartanNash President and CEO Tony Sarsam. "We are pleased with the progression of our investments in margin-enhancing programs and expect benefits by the end of the year. Building on this progress, we are piloting a Customer Value Proposition initiative that is informed by extensive shopper data and insights, aimed at enhancing freshness, value and convenience. As part of this store modernization program, we are lowering prices on 6,000 products to bring more value to our shoppers today."

Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Highlights(1)

  • Net sales decreased 3.5% to $2.23 billion, driven by lower volumes in both the Wholesale and Retail segments.
    • Wholesale segment net sales decreased 4.8% to $1.55 billion primarily due to reduced volumes in the national accounts customer channel.
    • Retail segment net sales decreased 0.4% to $676.1 million, with comparable store sales down 2.5%. Incremental sales from newly acquired Metcalfe's Market stores were offset by lower consumer demand trends.
  • Net earnings of $0.34 per diluted share, compared to $0.57 per diluted share.
    • The decrease was primarily due to lower unit volumes and higher restructuring and asset impairment charges. This reduction was partially offset by benefits from the merchandising transformation, favorable segment sales mix, as well as lower LIFO expense of $3.2 million.
  • Adjusted EPS(2) of $0.59, compared to $0.65. Adjusted EBITDA(3) of $64.5 million, compared to $66.1 million. These measures exclude, among other items, restructuring and asset impairment charges, the impact of the LIFO provision and acquisition and integration expenses.

Other Fiscal 2024 Highlights(4)

  • Cash generated from operating activities of $132.1 million compared to $49.7 million. The 166.0% increase in cash from operating activities is due primarily to ongoing working capital management initiatives.
  • Net long-term debt(5) to adjusted EBITDA(3) ratio of 2.2x improved sequentially compared to 2.4x at the end of the first quarter.
  • Capital expenditures and IT capital(6) of $73.4 million compared to $63.5 million.
  • Returned $30.4 million to shareholders through $15.1 million in share repurchases and $15.4 million in dividends.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, the Company also provides information regarding adjusted earnings from continuing operations, as well as per diluted share ("adjusted EPS"), net long-term debt, capital expenditures and IT capital, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA"). These are non-GAAP financial measures, as defined below, and are used by management to allocate resources, assess performance against its peers and evaluate overall performance. The Company believes these measures provide useful information for both management and its investors. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide additional understanding of the trends and special circumstances that affect its business. These measures provide useful supplemental information that helps investors to establish a basis for expected performance and the ability to evaluate actual results against that expectation. The measures, when considered in connection with GAAP results, can be used to assess the overall performance of the Company as well as assess the Company's performance against its peers. These measures are also used as a basis for certain compensation programs sponsored by the Company. In addition, securities analysts, fund managers and other shareholders and stakeholders that communicate with the Company request its financial results in these adjusted formats.

Current year adjusted earnings from continuing operations, and adjusted EBITDA exclude, among other items, LIFO expense, organizational realignment, severance associated with cost reduction initiatives and operating and non-operating costs associated with the postretirement plan amendment and settlement. Current year organizational realignment includes consulting and severance costs associated with the Company's change in its go-to-market strategy as part of its long-term plan, which relates to the reorganization of certain functions. Costs related to the postretirement plan amendment and settlement include operating and non-operating expenses associated with amortization of the prior service credit related to the amendment of the retiree medical plan, which are adjusted out of adjusted earnings from continuing operations. Postretirement plan amendment and settlement costs also include operating expenses related to payroll taxes which are adjusted out of all non-GAAP financial measures. Prior year adjusted earnings from continuing operations, and adjusted EBITDA exclude, among other items, LIFO expense, organizational realignment, severance associated with cost reduction initiatives and a non-routine settlement related to a legal matter resulting from a previously closed operation that was resolved during the prior year and operating and non-operating costs associated with the postretirement plan amendment and settlement.

Each of these items are considered "non-operational" or "non-core" in nature.

The Company is unable to provide a full reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP measures used in the Fiscal 2024 Outlook section of this press release without unreasonable effort because it is not possible to predict certain adjustment items with a reasonable degree of certainty since they are not yet known or quantifiable, and do not relate to the Company's normal operating activities. These adjustments may include, among other items, restructuring and asset impairment activity, acquisition and integration costs, severance, costs related to the postretirement plan amendment and settlement, and organizational realignment costs, and the impact of adjustments to the LIFO inventory reserve. This information is dependent upon future events, which may be outside of the Company's control and could have a significant impact on its GAAP financial results for fiscal 2024.

Notes: Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("adjusted EBITDA") is a non-GAAP operating financial measure that the Company defines as net earnings plus interest, discontinued operations, depreciation and amortization, and other non-cash items including share-based payments (equity awards measured in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation, which include both stock-based compensation to employees and stock warrants issued to non-employees) and the LIFO provision, as well as adjustments for items that do not reflect the ongoing operating activities of the Company.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA by segment are not measures of performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net earnings, cash flows from operating activities and other income or cash flow statement data. The Company's definitions of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA by segment may not be identical to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Adjusted earnings from continuing operations is not a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net earnings, cash flows from operating activities and other income or cash flow statement data.

Notes: Net long-term debt is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as long-term debt and finance lease obligations plus current maturities of long-term debt and finance lease obligations less cash and cash equivalents. The Company believes both management and its investors find the information useful because it reflects the amount of long-term debt obligations that are not covered by available cash and temporary investments. Net long-term debt is not a substitute for GAAP financial measures and may differ from similarly titled measures of other companies.

Notes: Capital expenditures and IT capital is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by adding spending related to the development of cloud computing applications to capital expenditures, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Cloud computing spend only includes costs incurred during the application development phase and does not include ongoing costs of hosting or maintenance associated with these applications, which are expensed as incurred. The Company believes it is a useful indicator of the Company's investment in its facilities and systems as it transitions to more cloud-based IT systems. Capital expenditures and IT capital is not a substitute for GAAP financial measures and may differ from similarly titled measures of other companies.
