Consolidated Fourth Quarter Operating Highlights

Compared to the prior year fourth quarter where applicable

•

Net sales increased 11.0% to $1.233 billion. Pricing/mix(4) increased 0.7%, volume(5) declined 2.2%, and the extra week and the Simple Mills acquisition added 7.8% and 4.7%, respectively.

•

Branded Retail net sales increased $115.3 million, or 16.6%, to $811.6 million due to the extra week, acquisition contribution, and increased pricing/mix(4), partially offset by volume declines. Pricing/mix(4) increased 2.3%, volume(5) decreased 1.7%, the Simple Mills acquisition and extra week contributed 7.7% and 8.3%, respectively.

•

Other net sales increased $6.5 million, or 1.6%, to $421.3 million due to the extra week, partially offset by unfavorable price/mix and lower volumes. Pricing/mix(4) declined 2.5%, volume(5) decreased 2.7%, and the extra week contributed 6.8%.

•

Materials, supplies, labor, and other production costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) were 51.5% of net sales, a 30-basis point increase. These costs increased as a percentage of net sales mostly due to increased outside purchases of product (sales with no associated ingredient costs), partially offset by lower workforce-related and ingredient costs.

•

Selling, distribution, and administrative (SD&A) expenses were 39.9% of net sales, a 10-basis point decrease. SD&A expenses decreased slightly as a percentage of net sales primarily due to lower distributor distribution fees and the addition of Simple Mills, partly offset by increased workforce-related costs largely related to the California conversion and the impact of wage increases, and restructuring-related implementation costs. Excluding matters affecting comparability, adjusted SD&A(2) was 39.0% of net sales, a 60-basis point decrease.

•

Impairment of intangible assets was $136.0 million related to finite-lived intangible assets with a triggering event in the fourth quarter and the loss on inferior ingredients was $2.7 million. The prior year quarter included plant closure costs and impairment of assets of $0.5 million.

•

Depreciation and amortization (D&A) expenses were $38.5 million or 3.1% of net sales, a 20-basis point decrease.

•

Net interest expense increased $11.4 million primarily due to higher interest expense from the issuance of debt to fund the Simple Mills acquisition and related fees and expenses.

•

Net income decreased $110.2 million to a net loss of $67.1 million, primarily due to a $136.0 million non-cash impairment of intangible assets, and diluted EPS decreased $0.52 to a net loss per share of $0.32. Adjusted net income(2) decreased 1.5% to $45.8 million and adjusted diluted EPS(2) was consistent with the prior-year period at $0.22.

•

Adjusted EBITDA(2) increased 14.7% to $117.4 million, representing 9.5% of net sales, a 30-basis point increase.

•

Simple Mills contributed $57.5 million in net sales, net loss of $6.2 million, $6.3 million to adjusted EBITDA(2), and ($0.03) to diluted EPS.

Cash Flow, Capital Allocation, and Capital Return

For fiscal year 2025, cash flow from operating activities increased $33.5 million to $446.2 million, capital expenditures decreased $5.0 million to $127.1 million, and dividends paid to shareholders increased $6.3 million to $209.3 million. Cash and cash equivalents were $12.1 million at year end.

(1)

Any reference to sales refers to net sales inclusive of allowances and deductions against gross sales for variable consideration and consideration payable to customers

(2)

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.

(3)

No reconciliation of the forecasted range for (i) adjusted EBITDA to net income or (ii) adjusted diluted EPS to diluted EPS for the 52-week Fiscal 2026 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. For the same reasons, the company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

(4)

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

(5)

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

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 our Form 10-K, Part II, Item 1A., Risk Factors, of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 4, 2025 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 and integration-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, provide 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 release to the most comparable GAAP financial measure.
