Reports Record Net Revenue Quarter and Strong Gross Profit Growth
Hostess Brands, Inc. TWNK TWNKW (the "Company"), today reported its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
Business Highlights for the Second Quarter 2019 as Compared to the Prior Year Period
- Net revenue increased $25.2 million, or 11.7%, to $241.1 million due to higher volume of both core and new Hostess® branded products driven by distribution and merchandising support as well as realization of price increases.
- Total Company point of sale in tracked channels increased 6.3% and market share of 19.0% was up 81 basis points.
- Gross profit increased $16.6 million, or 24.8%, to $83.5 million due to higher sales volume and pricing actions as well as continued operating efficiencies.
- Net income was $16.7 million, compared to $24.6 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.10 per share. The decline was primarily due to discrete income tax adjustments of $7.8 million.
- Adjusted net income increased $3.8 million or 18.9% to $24.1 million, representing $0.17 adjusted earnings per share.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased $7.5 million, or 15.7%, to $55.1 million, or 22.9% of net revenue, compared to $47.6 million, or 22.1% of net revenue.
- Cash and cash equivalents were $189.3 million as of June 30, 2019 with a leverage ratio of 4.0x, both driven by operating cash flows of $74.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Despite Reduction for the Anticipated Sale of In-Store Bakery Operations ("ISB"), the Company Reiterates 2019 Net Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA Outlook
- The Company expects continued organic revenue growth well above the Sweet Baked Goods ("SBG") category in 2019 driven by Hostess® branded core and new product innovation due to expanded distribution and improved merchandising execution as well as benefits from increased pricing. This will be partially offset by reduced revenue from the anticipated disposition of ISB in the third quarter of 2019.
- The Company expects full year 2019 adjusted EBITDA of $200 million to $210 million, an increase of 7% to 13% over 2018, primarily driven by revenue growth and achievement of operational efficiencies, partially offset by the anticipated divestiture of ISB in the third quarter of 2019.
- The Company has improved its expected leverage ratio estimate to 3.2x to 3.4x at the end of 2019, driven by strong operating cash flows and the anticipated cash received from the divestiture of ISB.
"The continued execution against our pillars for growth are evidenced this quarter by meaningful revenue growth, increased market share and improvement in our industry-leading profitability," commented Andy Callahan, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The strength of the Hostess® brand and our investments in our fundamental capabilities have helped us achieve broad-based success across channels. We will continue to focus on execution in the second half of 2019 as we build upon our strong foundation for sustainable growth and shareholder value creation."
1This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income attributed to Class A stockholders and adjusted earnings per share ("Adjusted EPS"). Please refer to the schedules in the press release for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measure. Unless otherwise stated, all comparisons of financial measures in this press release are to the second quarter of 2018. All measures of market performance contained in this press release, including point of sale and market share, include all Company branded products within the SBG category as reported by Nielsen but do not include other products sold outside of the SBG category. All market data in this press release reflect the restatement of convenience channel data executed by Nielsen for the 13-week period ended June 29, 2019. The Company's leverage ratio is net debt (total long-term debt less lease obligations, unamortized debt premiums and cash and cash equivalents) divided by adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve-month period.
Second Quarter 2019 Compared to Second Quarter 2018
Net revenue was $241.1 million, an increase of 11.7%, or $25.2 million, compared to $215.8 million. The net revenue growth was primarily from increased sales of Hostess® branded products driven by higher volume of both core products and new Hostess® branded breakfast products as distribution and merchandising support improved in multiple sales channels. Dolly Madison® branded products also provided revenue growth as the Company leveraged the acquired Cloverhill customer relationships. Net revenue also benefited from increased pricing implemented in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Gross profit was $83.5 million, or 34.6% of net revenue, compared to $66.9 million, or 31.0% of net revenue. Adjusted gross profit was $83.5 million, or 34.6% of net revenue, a $14.2 million increase as compared to $69.3 million, or 32.1% of net revenue, in the prior year period. Pricing actions and increases in sales volume partially offset the impact of inflationary pressures on ingredient, labor and packaging costs. The Company also benefited from continued operational cost efficiencies.
Operating costs and expenses were $46.6 million, or 19.3% of net revenue, compared to $32.2 million, or 14.9% of net revenue. These costs increased due to higher incentive compensation and additional corporate expenses incurred in connection with the relocation of the Company's primary distribution facility and category sales and marketing functions. Additionally, there was a $1.3 million loss on the remeasurement of the tax receivable agreement obligation in the second quarter of 2019 as compared to a $1.8 million gain on remeasurement in the prior year period driven by changes in estimated future state rates.
The Company's effective tax rate was 35.2% compared to 0.8%. In the second quarter of 2019, the Company recognized a discrete tax expense of $2.8 million as compared to a discrete tax benefit of $5.0 million recognized in the prior year period resulting from revaluing deferred tax balances based on changes in its estimated state apportionment factors and tax rates.
Net income was $16.7 million compared to $24.6 million. Net income attributed to Class A stockholders was $11.5 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to $19.3 million, or $0.18 per diluted share. The decline was primarily due to discrete income tax adjustments of $7.8 million.
Adjusted net income was $24.1 million compared to $20.2 million. Adjusted EPS was $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $0.14 per share. Adjusted EBITDA was $55.1 million, or 22.9% of net revenue, compared to $47.6 million, or 22.1% of net revenue.
Cash from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $74.1 million compared to $81.2 million for the same period last year. The decrease was attributable to the timing of customer receipts as well as higher working capital needs to facilitate the increased sales volume. Operating cash flow for the second quarter of 2019 was $45.7 million, an increase of 6.5% from the prior year period.
Sweet Baked Goods Segment: Net revenue was $229.3 million, an increase of $25.0 million, or 12.3%, compared to $204.2 million driven by additional volume and price increases. Gross profit was $80.9 million, or 35.3% of net revenue, compared to $64.4 million, or 31.5% of net revenue.
In-Store Bakery Segment: Net revenue was $11.8 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 1.5%, compared to $11.6 million. The increase in net revenue was attributable to increased sales volume. Gross profit was $2.5 million, or 21.4% of net revenue, compared to gross profit of $2.5 million, or 21.5% of net revenue.
Divestiture of ISB
As previously announced, the Company has entered into a definitive agreement to sell ISB to Sara Lee Frozen Bakery for a purchase price of $65.0 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments. The transaction is expected to close during the third quarter, subject to customary closing conditions. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the transaction to pursue a range of potential strategic options, including reinvesting in its business, de-leveraging its balance sheet, and pursuing potential strategic acquisitions, while effectively managing its capital structure.
New Corporate Headquarters and Research and Development Center
The Company is opening a new consumer research center with a lab, sensory test kitchen and focus group space within the Company's new corporate headquarters building which is relocating within the Kansas City metro area. This new research and development center, which is anticipated to open during the first quarter of 2020, will enhance the Company's in-house innovation capabilities and expand capacity for new product research and development.
Outlook
Despite the impacts of the anticipated divestiture of ISB, the Company reiterated its net revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance as well as improved its leverage outlook for 2019 to reflect the strong year-to-date financial results:
- Net revenue growth well above the SBG category;
- Adjusted EBITDA of $200 million to $210 million, an increase of 7% to 13% from 2018;
- Adjusted EPS of $0.57 to $0.62, an increase of 6% to 15% from 2018;
- The net expected increase in cash of $145 million to $155 million would result in a leverage ratio of 3.2x to 3.4x at the end of 2019, absent any acquisitions or other strategic uses of cash, compared to 4.5x at December 31, 2018;
- Cash provided by operations of $145 million to $155 million, a reduction from previous expectation of $150 million to $160 million;
- Capital expenditures of approximately $30 million to $35 million;
- Income tax rate, excluding discrete items, of 21% to 22% giving effect to the non-controlling interest and the related share exchanges occurring in the second quarter. The Company expects to pay minority shareholder distributions of $7.5 million to $8.5 million and corporate tax payments of $2.0 million to $3.0 million in 2019.
The Company provides guidance only on a non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) basis and does not provide a reconciliation of the Company's forward-looking financial expectations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation; including adjustments that could be made for deferred taxes; remeasurement of the tax receivable agreement, changes in allocation to the non-controlling interest, transformation expenses and other non-operating gains or losses reflected in the Company's reconciliation of historic non-GAAP financial measures, the amount of which could be material. Please refer to the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures included in this press release for further information about the use of these measures.

HOSTESS BRANDS, INC.
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income attributable to Class A Stockholders and adjusted EPS, collectively referred to as "Non-GAAP Financial Measures," are commonly used in the Company's industry and should not be construed as an alternative to gross profit, net income or earnings per share as indicators of operating performance or as alternatives to cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (each as determined in accordance with GAAP). These Non-GAAP Financial Measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company has included these Non-GAAP Financial Measures because it believes the measures provide management and investors with additional information to measure the Company's performance and liquidity, estimate the Company's value and evaluate the Company's ability to service debt.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures are adjusted to exclude certain items that affect comparability. The adjustments are itemized in the tables below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reason the Company considers them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating adjustments, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments set forth below. The presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or recurring items.
The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude (i) interest expense, net, (ii) depreciation and amortization and (iii) income taxes, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that the Company does not consider indicative of its ongoing operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP. For example, adjusted EBITDA:
- does not reflect the Company's capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
- does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company's working capital needs;
- does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the Company's debt; and
- does not reflect payments related to income taxes, the Tax Receivable Agreement or distributions to the non-controlling interest to reimburse its tax liability.
