FLOWERS FOODS, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2024 RESULTS

THOMASVILLE, Ga., Aug. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Flowers Foods, Inc. (NYSE: FLO) today reported financial results for the company’s 12-week second quarter ended July 13, 2024.

Second Quarter Summary:Compared to the prior year second quarter where applicable

Sales decreased 0.2% to $1.225 billion as positive pricing/mix was more than offset by volume declines, primarily due to business exits.
Net income increased 5.0% to $67.0 million, primarily due to growth in operating income, partially offset by higher net interest and income tax expense. Adjusted net income(1) increased 6.5% to $75.5 million.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 7.8% to $143.5 million, representing 11.7% of sales, a 90-basis point increase.
Diluted EPS increased $0.02 to $0.32. Adjusted diluted EPS(1) increased $0.03 to $0.36.

Chairman and CEO Remarks:

“We continued to execute well in the second quarter with a solid top- and bottom-line performance,” said Ryals McMullian, chairman and CEO of Flowers Foods. “Our brands outperformed the fresh packaged bread category, growing units in tracked channels and generating leading unit and dollar share gains. Private label and away-from-home margins maintained their positive trajectory as we improved profitability in existing accounts and filled available capacity with new, higher-margin business. And savings initiatives are taking hold, driving a meaningful sequential improvement in costs.

“We are maintaining our 2024 financial outlook, which incorporates continued strong operational performance balanced with the potential impact on consumer and promotional behavior from an uncertain economic environment. We also expect full year results to benefit from new business wins and additional cost savings. Our portfolio strategy is generating improved overall performance and we expect to continue that progress through further investments in innovation and marketing. We remain committed to achieving results in line with our long-term financial targets.”

For the 52-week Fiscal 2024, the Company Expects:

Sales in the range of approximately $5.091 billion to $5.172 billion, representing 0.0% to 1.6% growth compared to the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA(2) in the range of approximately $524 million to $553 million.
Adjusted diluted EPS(1) in the range of approximately $1.20 to $1.30.

The company’s outlook is based on the following assumptions:

Depreciation and amortization in the range of $155 million to $160 million, compared to prior guidance of $160 million to $165 million.
Net interest expense of approximately $20 million to $24 million, compared to prior guidance of $22 million to $26 million.
An effective tax rate of approximately 25%.
Weighted average diluted share count for the year of approximately 212.5 million shares, compared to prior guidance of approximately 213 million shares.
Capital expenditures in the range of $145 million to $155 million, with $3 million to $6 million related to the ERP upgrade.

Consolidated Second Quarter Operating Highlights Compared to the prior year second quarter where applicable

Sales decreased 0.2% to $1.225 billion. Pricing/mix(3) increased 1.0% and volume(4) declined 1.2%.

Branded Retail sales increased $2.3 million or 0.3% to $789.5 million due to favorable price/mix resulting from a shift in mix to more premium-priced products. Pricing/mix(3) rose 0.3% and volume(4) was flat.
Other sales decreased $5.4 million or 1.2% to $435.5 million due to volume declines resulting from lower margin foodservice business we exited in the second half of Fiscal 2023, partially offset by positive price/mix for non-retail sales. Pricing/mix(3) rose 1.6% and volume(4) declined 2.8%.

Materials, supplies, labor, and other production costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) were 50.1% of sales, a 90-basis point decrease. These costs decreased as a percentage of sales due to moderating ingredient and packaging costs, improved sales price/mix, and decreased product returns. Lower production volumes, higher workforce-related and bakery maintenance costs, and increased outside purchases of product (sales with no associated ingredient costs) partially offset the overall improvement.
Selling, distribution, and administrative (SD&A) expenses were 38.5% of sales, a 30-basis point decrease. SD&A decreased as a percentage of sales due to lower distributor distribution fees, marketing expense, and consulting costs, and an insurance liability claim in the prior period. These items were partially offset by increased workforce-related costs, amortization of cloud-based applications, higher rent expense, and lower scrap dough income. Excluding matters affecting comparability, adjusted SD&A expenses were 38.2% of sales, flat with the prior year period.
Restructuring charges were $6.8 million, or 0.6% of sales, compared to $2.5 million, or 0.2% of sales in the prior year quarter.
The company recognized impairments of $1.4 million, which represented 0.1% of sales, to write-off certain assets classified as held for sale that the company no longer intends to sell.
Depreciation and amortization (D&A) expenses were $36.8 million or 3.0% of sales, a 20-basis point increase.
Net interest expense increased $0.7 million primarily due to lower interest income resulting from decreases in distributor notes receivable outstanding.
Net income increased 5.0% to $67.0 million. Adjusted net income(1) increased 6.5% to $75.5 million.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 7.8% to $143.5 million, representing 11.7% of sales, a 90-basis point increase.

Cash Flow, Capital Allocation, and Capital Return

Year-to-date, through the second quarter of fiscal 2024, cash flow from operating activities increased $39.5 million to $168.4 million, capital expenditures decreased $7.1 million to $61.3 million, and dividends paid to shareholders increased $3.8 million to $101.9 million. Cash and cash equivalents were $6.9 million at quarter end.

(1)

Adjusted for items affecting comparability. See reconciliations of non-GAAP measures in the financial statements following this release. Earnings are net income. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are reconciled to net income.

(2)

No reconciliation of the forecasted range for adjusted EBITDA to net income for the 52-week Fiscal 2024 is included in this press release because the company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts. In addition, the company believes such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.

(3)

Calculated as (current year period units X change in price per unit) / prior year period sales dollars

(4)

Calculated as (prior year period price per unit X change in units) / prior year period sales dollars

Pre-Recorded Management Remarks and Question and Answer WebcastIn conjunction with this release, pre-recorded management remarks and a supporting slide presentation will be posted to the Flowers Foods website. The company will host a live question and answer webcast at 8:30 a.m. (Eastern) on August 16, 2024. The pre-recorded remarks and webcast will be archived on the investors page of flowersfoods.com.

The foregoing list of important factors does not include all such factors, nor does it necessarily present them in order of importance. In addition, you should consult other disclosures made by the company (such as in our other filings with the SEC or in company press releases) for other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by the company. Refer to Part I, Item 1A., Risk Factors, of the Form 10-K, Part II, Item 1A., Risk Factors, of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 13, 2024 and subsequent filings with the SEC for additional information regarding factors that could affect the company’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, as they speak only as of the date made and are inherently uncertain. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise or update such statements, except as required by law. You are advised, however, to consult any further public disclosures by the company (such as in our filings with the SEC or in company press releases) on related subjects.

Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). However, from time to time, the company may present in its public statements, press releases and SEC filings, non-GAAP financial measures such as, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted selling, distribution and administrative expenses (SD&A), and gross margin excluding depreciation and amortization. The reconciliations attached provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this presentation or release to the most comparable GAAP financial measure. The company’s definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Earnings are net income. The company believes that EBITDA is a useful tool for managing the operations of its business and is an indicator of the company’s ability to incur and service indebtedness and generate free cash flow. The company also believes that EBITDA measures are commonly reported and widely used by investors and other interested parties as measures of a company’s operating performance and debt servicing ability because EBITDA measures assist in comparing performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation or amortization, which can vary significantly depending upon accounting methods and non-operating factors (such as historical cost). EBITDA is also a widely-accepted financial indicator of a company’s ability to incur and service indebtedness.

EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to (a) income from operations or net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance; (b) cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the company’s ability to meet its cash needs; or (c) any other indicator of performance or liquidity that has been determined in accordance with GAAP.

The company defines adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted income tax expense and adjusted SD&A, respectively, to exclude additional costs that the company considers important to present to investors to increase the investors’ insights about the company’s core operations. These costs include, but are not limited to, the costs of closing a plant or costs associated with acquisition-related activities, restructuring activities, certain impairment charges, legal settlements, costs to implement an enterprise resource planning system and enhance bakery digital capabilities (business process improvement costs) to provide investors direct insight into these costs, and other costs impacting past and future comparability. The company believes that these measures, when considered together with its GAAP financial results, provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of its business operating results, including underlying trends, by excluding the effects of certain charges. Adjusted EBITDA is used as the primary performance measure in the company’s 2014 Omnibus Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (Amended and Restated Effective May 25, 2023).

Presentation of gross margin includes depreciation and amortization in the materials, supplies, labor and other production costs according to GAAP. Our method of presenting gross margin excludes the depreciation and amortization components, as discussed above.

The reconciliations attached provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this presentation or release to the most comparable GAAP financial measure.
