THOMASVILLE, Ga., May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Flowers Foods, Inc. (NYSE: FLO) today reported financial results for the company's 16-week first quarter ended April 20, 2024.
First Quarter Summary:
Compared to the prior year first quarter where applicable
- Sales increased 2.8% to a first-quarter record, $1.577 billion.
- Net income increased 3.3% to $73.0 million, primarily due to moderating input costs and price increases implemented in the prior year, partly offset by higher selling, distribution, and administrative expenses. Adjusted net income(1) decreased 0.8% to $80.3 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 5.5% to $159.4 million, representing 10.1% of sales, a 30-basis point increase.
- Diluted EPS increased $0.01 to $0.34. Adjusted diluted EPS(1) was consistent with the prior year period at $0.38.
Chairman and CEO Remarks:
"Our solid first quarter results highlight the increasing effectiveness of our portfolio strategy and investments in marketing and innovation," said Ryals McMullian, chairman and CEO of Flowers Foods. "Amid challenging market conditions, our brands continued to thrive, gaining market share as we outperformed the fresh packaged bread category. Even more impressively, we grew quarterly branded retail volumes for the first time since 2020. Initiatives to improve the profitability in away-from-home and private label are also taking hold, significantly expanding margins in those businesses.
"We are maintaining our 2024 outlook, which incorporates continued volume improvement while acknowledging the ongoing economic uncertainty and its potential impact on consumer behavior and the promotional environment. Our full-year results are also expected to benefit from an expansion of our savings initiatives and new business wins. Looking ahead, we remain focused on building continued momentum while capitalizing on more favorable trends in the bread category. We remain confident that our portfolio strategy will enable further progress and performance in line with our long-term financial targets."
For the 52-week Fiscal 2024, the Company Expects:
- Sales in the range of approximately $5.091 billion to $5.172 billion, representing 0.0% to 1.6% growth compared to the prior year.
- Adjusted EBITDA(2) in the range of approximately $524 million to $553 million.
- Adjusted diluted EPS(1) in the range of approximately $1.20 to $1.30.
The company's outlook is based on the following assumptions:
- Depreciation and amortization in the range of $160 million to $165 million.
- Net interest expense of approximately $22 million to $26 million.
- An effective tax rate of approximately 25%.
- Weighted average diluted share count for the year of approximately 213 million shares.
- Capital expenditures in the range of $145 million to $155 million, with $3 million to $6 million related to the ERP upgrade, compared to prior guidance of $120 million to $130 million.

Consolidated First Quarter Operating Highlights
Compared to the prior year first quarter where applicable
- Sales increased 2.8% to $1.577 billion, a first-quarter record. Pricing/mix(3) increased 3.1%, volume(4) declined 0.8%, and the Papa Pita acquisition added 0.5%.
- Branded Retail sales increased $34.4 million or 3.5% to $1.015 billion due to pricing actions taken in the prior year, improved mix from greater branded organic product sales, and the acquisition contribution. Pricing/mix(3) rose 2.6%, volume(4) increased 0.3%, and the Papa Pita acquisition added 0.6%.
- Other sales increased $7.9 million or 1.4% to $561.9 million due to pricing actions taken in the prior year and the acquisition contribution, partially offset by volume declines related to business rationalizations. Pricing/mix(3) rose 3.3%, volume(4) declined 2.2%, and the Papa Pita acquisition added 0.3%.
- Materials, supplies, labor, and other production costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) were 50.6% of sales, a 160-basis point decrease. These costs decreased as a percentage of sales due to prior year inflation-driven pricing actions and moderating ingredient and packaging costs, partially offset by higher labor costs.
- Selling, distribution, and administrative (SD&A) expenses were 39.7% of sales, a 110-basis point increase. Increased labor and technology expenses were partly offset by lower distributor distribution fees as a percentage of sales. Excluding matters affecting comparability, adjusted SD&A expenses were 39.3% of sales, a 130-basis point increase, due to the factors listed above.
- Restructuring charges were $0.6 million, or 0.0% of sales, compared to $4.2 million, or 0.3% of sales in the prior year quarter.
- The company recognized impairments of $4.0 million that represented 0.3% of sales for a cost method investment.
- Depreciation and amortization (D&A) expenses were $48.2 million or 3.1% of sales, a 20-basis point increase.
- Net interest expense increased $1.7 million primarily due to higher average amounts of debt outstanding, increased interest rates on that debt, and relatively lower interest income.
- Net income increased 3.3% to $73.0 million. Adjusted net income(1) decreased 0.8% to $80.3 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 5.5% to $159.4 million, representing 10.1% of sales, a 30-basis point increase.
Cash Flow, Capital Allocation, and Capital Return
For the first quarter of fiscal 2024, cash flow from operating activities increased $47.2 million to $105.1 million, capital expenditures decreased $0.6 million to $33.3 million, and dividends paid to shareholders increased $2.0 million to $51.1 million. Cash and cash equivalents were $15.8 million at quarter end.
(1) | Adjusted for items affecting comparability. See reconciliations of non-GAAP measures in the financial statements following this release. Earnings are net income. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are reconciled to net income. |
(2) | No reconciliation of the forecasted range for adjusted EBITDA to net income for the 52-week Fiscal 2024 is included in this press release because the company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts. In addition, the company believes such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. |
(3) | Calculated as (current year period units X change in price per unit) / prior year period sales dollars |
(4) | Calculated as (prior year period price per unit X change in units) / prior year period sales dollars |
Pre-Recorded Management Remarks and Question and Answer Webcast
In conjunction with this release, pre-recorded management remarks and a supporting slide presentation will be posted to the Flowers Foods website. The company will host a live question and answer webcast at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern) on May 16, 2024. The pre-recorded remarks and webcast will be archived on the investors page of flowersfoods.com.

The foregoing list of important factors does not include all such factors, nor does it necessarily present them in order of importance. In addition, you should consult other disclosures made by the company (such as in our other filings with the SEC or in company press releases) for other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by the company. Refer to Part I, Item 1A., Risk Factors, of the Form 10-K and subsequent filings with the SEC for additional information regarding factors that could affect the company's results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, as they speak only as of the date made and are inherently uncertain. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise or update such statements, except as required by law. You are advised, however, to consult any further public disclosures by the company (such as in our filings with the SEC or in company press releases) on related subjects.
Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). However, from time to time, the company may present in its public statements, press releases and SEC filings, non-GAAP financial measures such as, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted selling, distribution and administrative expenses (SD&A), and gross margin excluding depreciation and amortization. The reconciliations attached provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this presentation or release to the most comparable GAAP financial measure. The company's definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Earnings are net income. The company believes that EBITDA is a useful tool for managing the operations of its business and is an indicator of the company's ability to incur and service indebtedness and generate free cash flow. The company also believes that EBITDA measures are commonly reported and widely used by investors and other interested parties as measures of a company's operating performance and debt servicing ability because EBITDA measures assist in comparing performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation or amortization, which can vary significantly depending upon accounting methods and non-operating factors (such as historical cost). EBITDA is also a widely-accepted financial indicator of a company's ability to incur and service indebtedness.
EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to (a) income from operations or net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance; (b) cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the company's ability to meet its cash needs; or (c) any other indicator of performance or liquidity that has been determined in accordance with GAAP.
The company defines adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted income tax expense and adjusted SD&A, respectively, to exclude additional costs that the company considers important to present to investors to increase the investors' insights about the company's core operations. These costs include, but are not limited to, the costs of closing a plant or costs associated with acquisition-related activities, restructuring activities, certain impairment charges, legal settlements, costs to implement an enterprise resource planning system and enhance bakery digital capabilities (business process improvement costs) to provide investors direct insight into these costs, and other costs impacting past and future comparability. The company believes that these measures, when considered together with its GAAP financial results, provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of its business operating results, including underlying trends, by excluding the effects of certain charges. Adjusted EBITDA is used as the primary performance measure in the company's 2014 Omnibus Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (Amended and Restated Effective May 25, 2023).
Presentation of gross margin includes depreciation and amortization in the materials, supplies, labor and other production costs according to GAAP. Our method of presenting gross margin excludes the depreciation and amortization components, as discussed above.
The reconciliations attached provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this presentation or release to the most comparable GAAP financial measure.
