SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS

The company operates under two reportable segments: North America and International.

North America
North America net sales in the fiscal third quarter were $268.1 million, representing a 6.5% decrease compared to the prior year period. Organic net sales growth decreased 6.5% compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales in personal care, as well as lower sales in baby and kids. This was partially offset by growth in beverages.

Segment gross profit in the fiscal third quarter was $59.2 million, a decrease of 5.6% from the prior year period. Adjusted gross profit was $59.6 million, a decrease of 5.0% from the prior year period. Gross margin was 22.1%, a 20-basis point increase from the prior year period, and adjusted gross margin was 22.2%, a 40-basis point increase from the prior year period. The increase was driven primarily by productivity and pricing on the success of Fuel and revenue growth management initiatives, partially offset by cost inflation and deleverage on lower sales volume.

Adjusted EBITDA in the fiscal third quarter was $27.9 million, an increase of 2.5% from the prior year period. The increase was driven primarily by lower SG&A, partially offset by lower volume and inflation. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.4%, a 90-basis point increase from the prior year period.

International
International net sales in the fiscal third quarter grew 1.0% year-over-year to $170.3 million. Organic net sales growth grew 1.0% year-over-year. Growth in beverages was offset by lower sales in meal prep. Organic net sales increase reflects 3.4 percentage points of growth from the favorable impact of foreign exchange.

Segment gross profit in the fiscal third quarter was $37.4 million, a 7.8% increase from the prior year period. Adjusted gross profit was $38.1 million, an increase of 9.7% from the prior year period. Gross margin was 22.0%, a 140-basis point increase from the prior year period, and adjusted gross margin was 22.4%, a 180-basis point increase from the prior year period. The increase in gross profit was mainly due to pricing and productivity, partially offset by deleverage on lower volume.

Adjusted EBITDA in the fiscal third quarter was $24.5 million, a 15.4% increase from the prior year period. The increase was driven primarily by pricing and productivity, partially offset by lower volumes. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 14.4%, a 180-basis point improvement from the prior year period.

Personal Care28.8-33.5%+0.1%

Snacks
Snacks category net sales in the third quarter were $111.2 million, down 0.4% from the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by softness in Terra® and ParmCrisps® as we reshape our channel and promotional mix, partially offset by growth in Garden Veggie Snacks and strong innovation with Flavor Burst.

Baby & Kids
Baby & Kids category net sales in the third quarter were $64.3 million, down 4.0% from the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by baby formula, partially offset by growth in Earth’s Best® snacks. Net sales, excluding formula, were down 0.5% versus the prior year.




















Beverages
Beverages category net sales in the third quarter were $68.4 million, up 6.7% from the prior year period. The increase was driven by growth in both non-dairy beverage in Europe and Celestial Seasonings® tea in North America.

Meal Prep
Meal Prep category net sales in the third quarter were $165.7 million, down 2.1% from the prior year period. The decrease was driven primarily by softness in Linda McCartney’s® Foods and Yves® plant-based meat-free, partially offset by continued strong growth in soup in both the UK and North America.

Personal Care
Personal care net sales in the third quarter were $28.8 million, down 33.5% from the prior year period as we focus on the execution of our stabilization plan.

FISCAL 2024 GUIDANCE**

Lee Boyce, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer stated, “While we are pleased with the progress we are making to strengthen the focus of our business and unlock fuel to build our capabilities, we are not satisfied with the speed of the return to growth in our North America business. Fiscal third quarter results were below our expectations and we are revising our guidance for the full year based on three primary factors. Our infant formula business did not recover as expected as our supplier did not meet their commitment, execution in our Snacks business did not meet our standards, and stabilization of our Personal Care business is taking longer than expected. We are aggressively addressing Personal Care stabilization through portfolio and operating footprint consolidation, we are working closely with our formula supplier to ensure a full recovery beginning in the second half of 2024, and we have realigned the commercial business in North America with a series of leadership changes and a clear plan to accelerate our execution in the region.”

The company is revising guidance for fiscal 2024 as follows:

Organic net sales are expected to decline 3 to 4% year-over.
Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $150 million and $155 million.
Free cash flow guidance is reaffirmed and expected to be $40 million to $45 million.

** The forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures included in this section are not reconciled to the comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures. The company is not able to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts because the company is unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact GAAP measures but would not impact the non-GAAP measures. Such items may include certain litigation and related expenses, transaction costs associated with acquisitions and divestitures, productivity and transformation costs, impairments, gains or losses on sales of assets and businesses, foreign exchange movements and other items. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the company’s GAAP financial results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures, including, among others, organic net sales, adjusted operating income and its related margin, adjusted gross profit and its related margin, adjusted net income and its related margin, adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and its related margin, free cash flow and net debt. The reconciliations of historic non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the tables below. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded. They should be read only in connection with the company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP.

We define our non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

Organic net sales: net sales excluding the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and discontinued brands. To adjust organic net sales for the impact of acquisitions, the net sales of an acquired business are excluded from fiscal quarters constituting or falling within the current period and prior period where the applicable fiscal quarter in the prior period did not include the acquired business for the entire quarter. To adjust organic net sales for the impact of divestitures and discontinued brands, the net sales of a divested business or discontinued brand are excluded from all periods.

















Adjusted gross profit and its related margin: gross profit, before inventory write-downs related to exited categories, plant closure related costs, net and warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, net.
Adjusted operating income and its related margin: operating loss before certain litigation expenses, net, inventory write-downs related to exited categories, plant closure related costs, net, productivity and transformation costs, CEO succession costs, warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, net, costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, and intangibles and long-lived asset impairments.
Adjusted net income and its related margin and diluted net income per common share, as adjusted: net loss, adjusted to exclude the impact of certain litigation expenses, net, inventory write-downs related to exited categories, plant closure related costs, net, productivity and transformation costs, CEO succession costs, warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, net, costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, (gains) losses on sales of assets, intangibles and long-lived asset impairments, unrealized currency (gains) losses and the related tax effects of such adjustments.
Adjusted EBITDA: net loss before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity in net loss of equity-method investees, stock-based compensation, net, unrealized currency losses, certain litigation and related costs, inventory write-downs related to exited categories, plant closure related costs, net, productivity and transformation costs, CEO succession costs, warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, (gains) losses on sales of assets, intangibles and long-lived asset impairments and other adjustments.
Free cash flow: net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment.
Net debt: total debt less cash and cash equivalents.

We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures presented provide useful additional information to investors about current trends in the company’s operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of operations. We provide:

Organic net sales to demonstrate the growth rate of net sales excluding the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and discontinued brands, and believe organic net sales is useful to investors because it enables them to better understand the growth of our business from period to period.
Adjusted results as important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.
Free cash flow as one factor in evaluating the amount of cash available for discretionary investments.
Net debt as a useful measure to monitor leverage and evaluate the balance sheet.
