SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS

The company operates under two reportable segments: North America and International.

North America
Fiscal fourth quarter organic net sales decreased by 14% year-over-year, primarily driven by lower sales in snacks, and to a lesser extent, meal prep.

Segment gross profit and adjusted gross profit in the fiscal fourth quarter were each $40 million, a decrease of 33% from the prior year period. Gross margin and adjusted gross margin were each 19.2%, down 340 basis points from the prior year period. The decreases in margin were primarily driven by lower volume/mix and higher trade spend, partially offset by productivity.

Adjusted EBITDA in the fiscal fourth quarter was $10 million or 5.1% of net sales compared to $21 million or 8.0% of net sales in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by lower volume/mix and higher trade spend, partially offset by productivity and a reduction in SG&A expenses, mainly due to lower employee-related costs.

Fiscal 2025 organic net sales decreased by 9% year-over-year, primarily driven by lower sales in snacks, and to a lesser extent, meal prep.

Segment gross profit in fiscal 2025 was $193 million, a decrease of 16% from the prior year. Adjusted gross profit was $195 million, a decrease of 19% from the prior year. Gross margin was 21.7%, down 20 basis points from the prior year, and adjusted gross margin was 21.9%, a decrease of 70 basis points from the prior year. The decreases in margin were primarily driven by lower volume/mix and higher trade spend and cost inflation, partially offset by productivity.

Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2025 was $65 million or 7.4% of net sales compared to $99 million or 9.4% of net sales in the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by volume/mix softness along with higher trade spend, partially offset by productivity and a reduction in SG&A expenses, mainly due to lower selling expenses and employee-related costs.

International
Fiscal fourth quarter organic net sales decreased by 6% year-over-year, primarily driven by lower sales in meal prep and beverages.

Segment gross profit and adjusted gross profit in the fiscal fourth quarter were each $35 million, a 12% decrease from the prior year period. Gross margin and adjusted gross margin were each 22.1%, representing 270-basis point decreases from the prior year period. The decreases in margin were primarily driven by cost inflation and lower volume/mix, partially offset by productivity.

Adjusted EBITDA in the fiscal fourth quarter was $21 million, a decrease of 23% versus the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by volume/mix softness, partially offset by productivity and net pricing. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 13.3% compared to 17.0% in the prior year period.

Fiscal 2025 organic net sales decreased by 3% year-over-year, primarily driven by lower sales in meal prep and beverages.

Segment gross profit and adjusted gross profit in fiscal 2025 were each $141 million, a decrease of 6% from the prior year. Gross margin and adjusted gross margin were each 21.0%, down 100 and 110 basis points from the prior year, respectively. The decreases in margin were primarily driven by cost inflation and lower volume/mix, partially offset by productivity and pricing.    

Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2025 was $86 million or 12.8% of net sales compared to $95 million or 14.0% of net sales in the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by inflation and volume/mix softness, partially offset by productivity and pricing.

CATEGORY HIGHLIGHTS

Snacks
The fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal 2025 year-over-year organic net sales declines of 19% and 14%, respectively, were driven by velocity challenges and distribution losses.     

Baby & Kids
The fiscal fourth quarter organic net sales decline of 9% year-over-year was driven by softness in purees in both the North America segment, in part due to strategic SKU reductions, and in the International segment.   

The fiscal 2025 organic net sales decline of 5% year-over-year was driven by softness in purees in both the North America segment, in part due to strategic SKU reductions, and in the International segment. This decline was partially offset by growth in snacks in both Earth’s Best and Ella’s Kitchen.
    
Beverages
The year-over-year organic net sales declines of 3% for both the fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal 2025 were driven by softness in tea in North America and private label non-dairy beverage in Europe.

Meal Prep
The fiscal fourth quarter organic net sales decline of 8% was primarily driven by softness in oils and nut butters in North America and meat-free products in the UK. These impacts were partially offset by continued growth in yogurt in North America.   

The fiscal 2025 organic net sales decline of 4% year-over-year was primarily driven by softness in meat-free and private label spreads and drizzles in the UK and oils and nut butters in North America, partially offset by growth in soups in the UK and yogurt in North America.

CREDIT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the company and the lenders under the company’s credit agreement amended the credit agreement to provide for increased operational flexibility. Among other things, the amended credit agreement sets a maximum net secured leverage ratio of 5.50x for the quarter ending September 30, 2025 and thereafter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures, including, among others, organic net sales; adjusted gross profit and its related margin; adjusted operating income and its related margin; adjusted net (loss) income and its related margin; diluted net (loss) income per common share, as adjusted; adjusted EBITDA and its related margin; free cash flow; and net debt. The reconciliations of historic non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the tables below. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded. They should be read only in connection with the company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP.

We define our non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

• Organic net sales: net sales excluding the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, held for sale businesses, discontinued brands, exited product categories and foreign exchange. To adjust organic net sales for the impact of acquisitions, the net sales of an acquired business are excluded from fiscal quarters constituting or falling within the current period and prior period where the applicable fiscal quarter in the prior period did not include the acquired business for the entire quarter. To adjust organic net sales for the impact of divestitures, held for sale businesses, discontinued brands and exited product categories, the net sales of a divested business, held for sale business, discontinued brand or exited product category are excluded from all periods. To adjust organic net sales for the impact of foreign exchange, current period net sales for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average monthly exchange rates in effect during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, rather than at the actual average monthly exchange rate in effect during the current period of the current fiscal year.
• Adjusted gross profit and its related margin: gross profit, before plant closure related costs, net, warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, net, and other costs.
• Adjusted operating income and its related margin: operating (loss) income before certain litigation expenses, net, plant closure related costs, net, warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, net, productivity and transformation costs, CEO succession costs, costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, goodwill impairment, intangibles and long-lived asset impairment and other costs.
• Adjusted net (loss) income and its related margin and diluted net (loss) income per common share, as adjusted: net loss, adjusted to exclude the impact of certain litigation expenses, net, plant closure related costs, net, warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, net, productivity and transformation costs, CEO succession costs, costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, (gains) losses on sales of assets, goodwill impairment, intangibles and long-lived asset impairment, unrealized and certain realized currency losses (gains) and other costs, and the related tax effects of such adjustments.
• Adjusted EBITDA and its related margin: net loss before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity in net loss of equity-method investees, stock-based compensation, net, unrealized and certain realized currency losses (gains), certain litigation expenses, net, plant closure related costs, net, warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, net, productivity and transformation costs, CEO succession costs, costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, (gains) losses on sales of assets, goodwill impairment, intangibles and long-lived asset impairment and other adjustments.
• Free cash flow: net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment.
• Net debt: total debt less cash and cash equivalents.

We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures presented provide useful additional information to investors about current trends in the company’s operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of operations. We provide:

• Organic net sales to demonstrate the growth rate of net sales excluding the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, held for sale businesses, discontinued brands, and exited product categories and foreign exchange, and believe organic net sales is useful to investors because it enables them to better understand the growth of our business from period to period.
• Adjusted results as important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of our Company and companies in our industry.
• Free cash flow as one factor in evaluating the amount of cash available for discretionary investments.
• Net debt as a useful measure to monitor leverage and evaluate the balance sheet.

We discuss the Company’s net secured leverage ratio as calculated under our credit agreement as a measure of our financial condition, liquidity and compliance with our credit agreement. For a description of the material terms of our credit agreement and risks of non-compliance with our credit agreement, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
