B&G Foods (BGS) Misses Q4 EPS by 10c, Offers FY Guidance
B&G Foods (NYSE: BGS) reported Q4 EPS of $0.35, $0.10 worse than the analyst estimate of $0.45. Revenue for the quarter came in at $510.2 million versus the consensus estimate of $531.12 million.
GUIDANCE:
B&G Foods sees FY2021 revenue of $2.05-2.1 billion, versus the consensus of $2.03 billion.
- For fiscal 2021, net sales will be positively impacted by an additional eleven months of ownership of the Crisco brand, and are expected to be approximately $2.05 billion to $2.10 billion.
- B&G Foods continues to see strong consumer demand for its products and expects to see commensurate elevated levels of net sales throughout fiscal 2021. However, the Company’s management is not able to fully estimate the impact COVID-19 will have on the Company’s fiscal 2021 results and therefore is unable at this time to provide more detailed guidance for fiscal 2021. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business will depend on many factors, including, among others: how long social distancing and stay-at-home and work-from home mandates and recommendations remain in effect; whether additional waves of COVID-19 will affect the United States and the rest of North America; the Company’s ability to continue to operate its manufacturing facilities, maintain its supply chain without material disruption, procure ingredients, packaging and other raw materials when needed despite unprecedented demand in the food industry; the extent to which macroeconomic conditions resulting from the pandemic and the pace of the subsequent recovery may impact consumer eating and shopping habits; and the extent to which consumers continue to work remotely even after the pandemic subsides and how that may impact consumer habits.
