For the 13-week period ended
Gross profit margin of 35.0% expanded 260bps compared to 32.4% in the prior year period. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin of 37.6% also expanded 260bps compared to 35.0% in the prior year period as the benefits from productivity and favorable sales volume/mix more than offset supply chain cost inflation, investments to support the Company’s productivity initiatives and lower pricing. The continued shift to IOs impacted Adjusted Gross Profit Margin by approximately 10bps, but with offsetting benefits in Selling, Distribution, and Administrative (SD&A) expense.

Fiscal Year 2024 Outlook
-
The Company is modestly revising its outlook for Organic
Net Sales growth from ~3% or better to now ~3%. The revised outlook is due to a more moderate growth outlook for the Salty Snack Category. The Company continues to expect OrganicNet Sales growth driven by volume growth, fueled by increased marketing investments, product innovation, already achieved distribution gains, and an easier second half growth comparison. The Company’s outlook also assumes net sales will be impacted by~$45 million due to the sale of theGood Health ® andR.W. Garcia ® brands.
-
The Company is reaffirming its outlook for Adjusted EBITDA growth of 5%-8% and assumes the estimated impact of the forgone profit contribution from the brands divested in
February 2024 are mostly offset by accelerated cost savings and the transition services agreement.
-
The Company is raising its outlook for Adjusted Earnings per Share growth from 23%-28%, to 28%-32%. The improved growth rate expectation is the result of a more favorable effective tax rate and lower core depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the Company’s plant divestitures in
April 2024 .
The Company also expects:
- An effective tax rate (normalized GAAP basis tax expense, which excludes one-time items) in the range of 17%-19% (previously 18%-20%);
-
Interest expense of
~$47 million (unchanged); -
Capital expenditures in the range of
$80-$90 million (unchanged); and - Net Leverage Ratio of ~3.6x (unchanged) at year-end fiscal 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
Utz uses non-GAAP financial information and believes it is useful to investors as it provides additional information to facilitate comparisons of historical operating results, identifies trends in our underlying operating results, and provides additional insight and transparency on how we evaluate the business. We use non-GAAP financial measures to budget, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate our performance. These non-GAAP financial measures do not represent financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounted principles in
Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplements to the GAAP measures reported, 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. The Company’s calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from methods used by other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the financial condition and results of operations of the Company to date when considered with both the GAAP results and the reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures, and that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors in the evaluation of our operating performance compared to other companies in the Salty Snack industry, as similar measures are commonly used by the companies in this industry. These non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures. As new events or circumstances arise, these definitions could change. When the definitions change, we will provide the updated definitions and present the related non-GAAP historical results on a comparable basis.
Utz uses the following non-GAAP financial measures in its financial communications, and in the future could use others:

Interest Income from IO loans refers to Interest Income that we earn from IO notes receivable that have resulted from our initiatives to transition from RSP distribution to IO distribution ("Business Transformation Initiatives"). There is a notes payable recorded that mirrors most of the IO notes receivable, and the interest expense associated with the notes payable is part of the Interest Expense, Net adjustment. |
|
(2) |
Certain Non-Cash Adjustments are comprised primarily of the following: |
|
Incentive programs – The Company incurred |
||
Asset Impairments and Write-Offs — For the thirteen weeks ended |
||
Purchase Commitments and Other Adjustments – We have purchase commitments for specific quantities at fixed prices for certain of our products’ key ingredients. To facilitate comparisons of our underlying operating results, this adjustment was made to remove the volatility of purchase commitments related to unrealized gains and losses. The adjustment related to Purchase Commitments and Other Adjustments, including cloud computing amortization was expense (income) of |
||
(3) |
Adjustment for Acquisition, Divestiture and Integration Costs and (Gains) – Such expenses were |
|
(4) |
Business Transformation Initiatives Adjustment – This adjustment is related to consultancy, professional, and legal fees incurred for specific initiatives and structural changes to the business that do not reflect the cost of normal business operations. In addition, gains and losses realized from the sale of distribution rights to IOs and the subsequent disposal of trucks, severance costs associated with the elimination of RSP positions, and enterprise resource planning system transition costs, fall into this category. The Company incurred such costs of |
|
(5) |
Financing-Related Costs – These costs include adjustments for various items related to raising debt and equity capital or debt extinguishment costs. |
|
(6) |
Gains and losses – Such gains and losses related to the changes in the remeasurement of warrant liabilities are not expected to be settled in cash, and when exercised would result in a cash inflow to the Company with the Warrants converting to Class A Common Stock with the liability being extinguished and the fair value of the Warrants at the time of exercise being recorded as an increase to equity. |
