Laird Superfood Reports Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Gross Margin improved 520 basis points sequentially to 23.4% Reaffirming Full Year 2022 Guidance

Laird Superfood, Inc. (NYSE American: LSF) (“Laird Superfood,” “we” and “our”), today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Third Quarter 2022 Highlights

  • Net Sales of $8.8 million compared to $8.7 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $10.9 million in the prior year period.
  • Online contributed 66% of total Net Sales and decreased 8.3% year-over-year reflecting lower direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) revenues due to planned reductions in marketing spend partially offset by double-digit growth in sales via Amazon.com.
  • Wholesale Net Sales contributed 34% of total Net Sales and revenue decreased 32% year-over-year, primarily due to lower sales in the Club channel.
  • Gross Margin was 23.4%, a 520-basis point improvement sequentially versus the second quarter of 2022 reflecting lower discounts, labor costs and freight. Relative to the prior year period, Gross Margin was down 600 basis points due primarily to fixed costs deleverage on lower volume and inflationary freight costs.
  • Net Loss was $5.7 million, or $0.63 per diluted share compared to a Net Loss of $4.9 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2022 and a Net Loss of $5.4 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted Net Loss, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, of $5.6 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, improved sequentially versus Adjusted Net Loss of $6.2 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2022. In the prior year period Adjusted Net Loss was $5.4 million, or $0.59 per diluted share. For more details on non-GAAP financial measures, refer to the information in the Non-GAAP financial measures section of this press release.

“We drove a significant sequential improvement in our Gross Margin during the third quarter and now have clear line of sight to our longer-term target of 35% as we pivot to an outsourced manufacturing model,” said Jason Vieth, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We also made solid progress optimizing marketing investments, which is improving our underlying economics and strengthening our competitive position as we continue to build out a true omnichannel business. While the operating environment remains very challenging, our efforts to create a leaner, nimbler organization continue gaining traction, enabling us to maximize the potential of our most profitable commercial growth opportunities. We remain confident in our direction and ability to drive significant improvements in sales growth and profitability in the future, supported by our loyal customer base and strong balance sheet with $21 million of cash and no debt.”

Net Sales decreased 18.6% to $8.8 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $10.9 million in the third quarter of 2021. Wholesale channel revenue decreased 32%, driven primarily by lower volumes in Club, while Online sales declined 8.3% due to lower DTC sales partially offset by strong double-digit growth in our Amazon.com channel, reflecting continued momentum with our marketing optimization strategies. The decline in DTC reflected a decrease in new customer orders due to planned reductions in marketing spend, price increases implemented at the end of the second quarter and the removal of free shipping for orders under $40, as well as overall pressures on consumer spending stemming from inflationary concerns.

Gross Profit was $2.1 million, a 35% decrease compared to the prior year period of $3.2 million. Gross Margin was 23.4% of Net Sales, a 520-basis point improvement sequentially versus the second quarter and compared to 29.4% of Net Sales in the prior year period. The year-over-year decrease in Gross Margin was attributable to deleverage of fixed manufacturing costs on lower volumes as we focused on optimizing inventory balances as well as higher costs for inbound shipping and outbound freight partially offset by lower labor stemming from cost reduction initiatives.

Operating Expenses were $7.9 million compared to $8.5 million in the year ago period, an 8.6% decline, primarily driven by lower Sales and Marketing expenses along with reduced spending on Research and Product Development.

Loss from operations was $5.8 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to a loss of $5.3 million in the prior year period, a 9.5% increase versus a year ago.

Net Loss was $5.7 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2022, compared to a net loss of $5.4 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

Adjusted Net Loss, which excludes the impact of certain non-recurring items, was $5.7 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $5.3 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, a year earlier.

Net Sales decreased 2.1% to $26.9 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to $27.4 million in the first nine months of 2021. The decline in year-to-date Net Sales was primarily due to lower sales in the DTC channel reflecting the planned reduction in media spend and elevated discounts as well as lower club sales. This was partially offset by double-digit growth in Amazon.com, new wholesale distribution and the acquisition of Picky Bars.

Gross Profit was $5.6 million, a decrease of 22.3% compared to the prior year period of $7.2 million. Gross Margin was 20.8% of Net Sales in the first nine months of 2022, compared to 26.3% of Net Sales in the prior year period. The year-over-year decline in Gross Margin was primarily due to elevated promotional activity, inflationary pressures on raw materials, packaging, and freight, as well as fixed cost deleverage on lower production volumes, partially offset by lower labor expenses stemming from cost reduction initiatives.

Operating Expenses were $30.3 million compared to $24.2 million in the first nine months of 2022 and reflect General and Administrative expense increases of $6.8 million, primarily due to $8.0 million of non-cash charges for goodwill and intangible asset impairment. Excluding the non-cash impairment charges, General and Administrative expenses decreased by $1.2 million reflecting lower personnel costs, including stock-based compensation related to executive departures earlier in the year.

Loss from operations was $24.7 million in the first nine months of 2022, compared to a loss of $16.9 million in the prior year period.

Net Loss was $24.8 million, or $2.71 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2022, compared to net loss of $17.0 million, or $1.90 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

Adjusted Net Loss, which excludes the impact of certain one-time items, was $18.4 million, or $2.01 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2022 compared to $16.8 million, or $1.87 per diluted share in the prior year period.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

The Company had $21.0 million of cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022, and no outstanding debt. Net cash used in operating activities was $11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $14.2 million in the prior year period.

Capital Expenditures totaled $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $1.0 million a year earlier.

2022 Outlook

We anticipate that uncertain economic environment with historically high inflation rates impacting consumer spending will continue into the next quarter. However, we reaffirm our estimated net sales for 2022 will be in a range of $36 million to $38 million and gross margin for the full year 2022 is forecast to be approximately 20%. The gross margin guidance excludes any one-time charges associated with the closure of our manufacturing operation in Sisters, Oregon and other one-time actions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, we report adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per diluted share, which are financial measures not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Management uses adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per diluted share to evaluate financial performance because adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per diluted share allow for period-over-period comparisons of the Company’s ongoing operations before the impact of certain items described below. Management believes this information may also be useful to investors to compare the Company’s results period-over-period. We define adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per diluted share to exclude (1) non-cash charges for goodwill and long-lived asset impairment, (2) forfeitures of unvested stock-based compensation, (3) non-recurring executive severance costs, (4) loss on sale of available-for-sale securities, (5) proceeds from an insurance settlement, (6) gain on sale of land held-for-sale, (7) restructuring costs, (8) the write off of prepaid inventory balances due to the bankruptcy of a supplier, (9) exit costs incurred related to the early termination of certain service contracts, and (10) acquisition costs of Picky Bars LLC. Please be aware that adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per diluted share have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net loss or diluted net loss per share. In addition, we may calculate and/or present adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per diluted share differently than measures with the same or similar names that other companies report, and as a result, the non-GAAP measures we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.

These non-GAAP measures are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the table that follows.
