Freshpet, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2016 Results
Second Quarter Net Sales Increased Approximately 16% to $33.0 Million
Company Reiterates 2016 Guidance
SECAUCUS, N.J. – August 4, 2016 – Freshpet, Inc. (“Freshpet” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FRPT) today reported financial results for its second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016.
Second Quarter 2016 Financial Highlights Compared to Prior Year Period
|
|
· |
Net sales were $33.0 million, up 16.4% |
|
|
· |
Net loss was $3.2 million |
|
|
· |
Adjusted EBITDA was $3.5 million, up 24.2% |
|
|
· |
Freshpet Fridges increased 10.0% to 15,795 from 14,354 |
“Our team made significant progress across key operational and financial business metrics,” said Scott Morris, Freshpet’s President and Chief Operating Officer. “In the second quarter we generated solid net sales and adjusted EBITDA growth as we continued to benefit from increased velocity per fridge and increased store count. We are also pleased with the progress of our plant expansion program and the improvements in quality, logistics, and purchasing which will drive greater efficiencies and leverage across our business model as we improve profitability.”
Second Quarter 2016
Net sales increased 16.4% to $33.0 million for the second quarter of 2016. Net sales for the quarter were driven by velocity gains and a 10.0% increase in Freshpet Fridge store locations to 15,795 as of June 30, 2016, as compared to the prior year period.
Gross profit was $14.9 million, or 45.2% of net sales, compared to $13.7 million, or 48.2% of net sales, in the same period last year. Start-up costs associated with the expansion of the Company’s Freshpet Kitchens reduced gross margin by approximately 130 basis points in the second quarter of 2016. The remaining decrease in gross margin was attributable to new product offerings and product mix.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $17.9 million compared to $15.7 million in the same period in the prior year. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A decreased to 54.2% for the second quarter of 2016 compared to 55.5% in the second quarter of 2015. Adjusted SG&A, which is a non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company that makes certain adjustments to SG&A calculated under GAAP, decreased as a percentage of net sales to 44.5% compared to 47.3% of net sales in the second quarter of 2015.
Net loss was $3.2 million compared to a net loss of $2.2 million for the same period in 2015. Included in net loss was $2.2 million related to costs associated with the CEO’s retirement, of which $1.6 million was a charge for leadership transition expenses and $0.6 million was related to accelerated noncash stock based compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA was $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared to $2.8 million in the same period in 2015. Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP measure defined under “Non-GAAP Measures,” and is reconciled to net earnings in the financial tables that accompany this release.
First Six Months of 2016
Net sales increased 16.3% to $64.5 million compared to $55.4 million during the first six months of 2015. Net sales for the quarter were driven by velocity gains and the increase of Freshpet Fridge store locations.
Gross profit was $29.8 million, or 46.2% of net sales, compared to $26.9 million, or 48.6% of net sales, in the same period last year. Start-up costs associated with the expansion of the Company’s Freshpet Kitchens reduced gross margin by approximately 100 basis points in the six months ended June 30, 2016. The remaining decrease in margin was attributable to new product offerings and product mix.
SG&A was $34.4 million compared to $31.4 million in the same period last year. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A decreased to 53.3% from 56.7% in the same period last year. Adjusted SG&A, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, decreased as a percentage of net sales to 46.9% during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 49.3% of net sales in the same period of 2015.
Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $5.0 million compared to $4.8 million in the same period of 2015. Net loss in the six months ended June 30, 2016 included $2.3 million related to costs associated with the CEO’s retirement, of which $1.6 million was a charge for leadership transition expenses and $0.7 million was related to accelerated noncash stock based compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA, which is a Non-GAAP financial measure, was $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $4.8 million in the same period in 2015.
Cash and Net Debt
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company generated cash of $3.4 million from operations compared to $2.1 million during the same period in 2015. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.7 million and $32.0 million available under its $40.0 million Credit Facilities. The $9.6 million decrease in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments from December 31, 2015 is primarily due to the capital expenditures related to the expansion of the Company’s Freshpet Kitchens in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The Company expects to invest up to $2.5 million during the remainder of 2016 to complete the project on time and on budget. The total drawn from the Credit Facilities is expected to be repaid by the first half of 2017.
Outlook
The Company reiterated its guidance for 2016. For full year 2016, the Company expects the following results compared to the prior year:
|
|
· |
To exceed net sales of $137 million, an increase of approximately 18% |
|
|
· |
To exceed Adjusted EBITDA of $18.5 million, an increase of approximately 67% |
|
|
· |
To exceed Freshpet fridges of 16,600, an increase of approximately 10% |
The Company does not provide guidance for the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income, and similarly cannot provide a reconciliation between its forecasted Adjusted EBITDA and net income metrics without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for certain items, such as non-cash gains or losses resulting from mark-to-market adjustments of warrants. These items are not within the Company’s control and may vary greatly between periods and could significantly impact future financial results.
Conference Call and Webcast
The Company will host a conference call with members of the executive management team to discuss these results with additional comments and details. The conference call is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. ET on Thursday, August 4, 2016. To participate on the live call listeners in North America may dial (844) 452-6821 and international listeners may dial (724) 924-4985; the passcode is 40701474.

Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in this release may constitute “forward-looking” statements. These statements are based on management's current opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results. These forward-looking statements are only predictions, not historical fact, and involve certain risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions. Actual results, levels of activity, performance, achievements and events could differ materially from those stated, anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements. While Freshpet believes that its assumptions are reasonable, it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible to anticipate all factors that could affect actual results. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements made herein including, most prominently, the risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this release. Freshpet undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be made that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
Non-GAAP Measures
3
Freshpet uses the following non-GAAP financial measures in its financial communications. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplements to the GAAP reported measures, should not be considered replacements for, or superior to, the GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies.
|
|
· |
Adjusted SG&A expenses |
|
|
· |
Adjusted SG&A expenses as a % of net sales |
|
|
· |
EBITDA |
|
|
· |
Adjusted EBITDA |
EBITDA represents net loss plus depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income tax expense, and Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus loss on disposal of equipment, plant startup expense, share-based compensation, warrant fair valuation, secondary fees, leadership transition expenses, and launch expenses.
Freshpet defines Adjusted SG&A Expenses as SG&A Expenses before non-cash items related to share-based compensation, leadership transition expenses, and secondary fees.
Management believes that Adjusted SG&A, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP measures, are meaningful to investors because they provide a view of the Company with respect to ongoing operating results. Adjusted SG&A, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are shown as supplemental disclosures in this release because they are widely used by the investment community for analysis and comparative evaluation and provides additional metrics to evaluate the Company’s operations and, when considered with both the Company’s GAAP results and the reconciliation to SG&A and to net income (loss), provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. Adjusted SG&A, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not and should not be considered an alternative to SG&A and net income (loss) or any other figure calculated in accordance with GAAP, or as an indicator of operating performance. The Company’s calculation of Adjusted SG&A, and Adjusted EBITDA may differ from methods used by other companies. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures are important to an understanding of the Company's overall operating results in the periods presented. Adjusted SG&A, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance.
We have not reconciled our expected Adjusted EBITDA to net income under “Outlook” because we have not finalized our calculations of several factors necessary to provide the reconciliation, including net income, interest expense and income tax expense. In addition, certain items that impact net income and other reconciling metrics are out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time.
