First Quarter 2023 Results

Net sales of $252.8 million represented a year-over-year increase of $42.9 million, or 20.4%. Organic net sales growth1 of 26.7% was driven by 15.6% volume and 11.1% price. Results reflect better-than-expected performance from the Rao’s Megabrand and a strong quarter for noosa, which generated 37.7% and 8.2% growth, respectively. Rao’s net sales growth was primarily attributable to strong consumption growth, which accelerated throughout the quarter, benefitting from substantial household penetration gains as a result of accelerated distribution growth and stepped-up brand-building investments.

Gross profit of $70.8 million increased by $16.9 million or 31.4% versus the prior year period. Gross margin was 28.0% versus 25.7% in the prior year period. Adjusted gross profit3 of $71.1 million increased by $16.6 million or 30.4% versus the prior year period supported by volume growth, pricing and productivity. Adjusted gross margin3 was 28.1%, reflecting a 210-basis point increase versus the prior year period, benefitting from pricing and productivity, as well as favorable mix driven by sauce growth.

Total operating expenses of $49.4 million increased by $8.3 million or 20.1% versus the prior year period. Adjusted operating expenses3 of $38.0 million increased by $8.4 million, or 28.3%, versus the prior year period, reflecting 26.9% year-over-year growth of combined marketing and R&D investments along with further support for our talent and capabilities.

Net interest expense was $8.7 million compared to $6.0 million in the prior year period due to higher interest rates.

Net income was $7.8 million, 3.1% of net sales, or $0.08 per diluted share. This compared to net income of $4.1 million, or $0.04 per diluted share in the prior year period. Adjusted net income3 was $18.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, as compared to adjusted net income of $13.8 million or $0.14 per diluted share in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA3 of $36.0 million increased $8.3 million or 30.2% versus the prior year period, inclusive of substantially higher combined marketing and R&D, up 26.9% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA margin3 was 14.2% versus 13.2% in the prior year period.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

As of April 1, 2023, cash and cash equivalents were $153.6 million and total debt was $482.7 million, resulting in a net debt to last twelve months adjusted EBITDA3 ratio of 2.6x.

Cash from operating activities was $17.2 million in the first quarter, a $6.0 million increase as compared to $11.2 million in the prior year. Higher cash flow was driven by strong net sales growth, margin expansion and improved working capital. Capital expenditures were $2.2 million in the quarter.

Fiscal 2023 Outlook

The Company is raising its previously provided guidance ranges for net sales and adjusted EBITDA3.

   
   
Net sales $935-$955 million
Adjusted EBITDA $136-$141 million

Sovos Brands cannot provide a reconciliation between its forecasted adjusted EBITDA3 and a forecasted net income without unreasonable effort due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting and providing reliable estimates for certain adjustment items. These items may reside outside of the Company’s control and vary greatly between periods and could significantly impact future financial results. For more information regarding the use of non-GAAP measures, please see the discussion provided under Non-GAAP Financial Information in this press release and the Company’s public filings.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to the Company’s results which are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company believes the following non-GAAP measures presented in this press release and/or discussed on the related teleconference call are useful in evaluating its operating performance: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted income tax (expense), adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted net income, and diluted earnings per share from adjusted net income. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax (expense) benefit, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for non-cash equity-based compensation costs, non-recurring costs, gain (loss) on foreign currency contracts, supply chain optimization costs, impairment of goodwill, transaction and integration costs and IPO readiness costs. EBITDA margin is determined by calculating the percentage EBITDA is of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA margin is determined by calculating the percentage Adjusted EBITDA is of net sales. Adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted income tax (expense) and adjusted effective tax rate, and adjusted net income consists of gross profit, total operating expenses, operating income (loss), reported income tax (expense) benefit, reported effective tax rate and net income (loss) before non-cash equity-based compensation costs, non-recurring costs, gain (loss) on foreign currency contracts, supply chain optimization costs, impairment of goodwill, transaction and integration costs, IPO readiness costs, acquisition amortization and tax-related adjustments that we do not consider in our evaluation of our ongoing operating performance from period to period as discussed further below. Diluted earnings per share from adjusted net income is determined by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Non-GAAP financial measures are included in this release because they are key metrics used by management to assess our operating performance. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in highlighting performance trends because non-GAAP financial measures eliminate non-recurring and unusual items and non-cash expenses, which we do not consider indicative of ongoing operational performance. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by these items. By providing these non-GAAP financial measures, management believes we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted income tax (expense), adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share from adjusted net income are not defined under GAAP. Our use of the terms EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted income tax (expense), adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share from adjusted net income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry and are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is intended to provide supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to operating income (loss), net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share, net sales or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as measures of operating cash flows or liquidity.
