Dan Fachner, J&J Snack Foods Chairman, President, and CEO, commented, "J&J Snack Foods delivered excellent third quarter financial results, including the second-highest quarterly net sales performance in our Company's history and record quarterly earnings per diluted share. Top-line growth was driven by higher volumes across most of our core products and brands, as well as strong new business performance in our Food Service and Retail segments, partially offset by temporary challenges in the theater channel. Our continued success in improving operating efficiencies led to a healthy 33.6% gross margin, flat versus the prior year, despite a less favorable sales mix. This resulted in adjusted operating income growth of 3.9% and adjusted EBITDA growth of 6.3%, building on our solid momentum from the first two quarters of our fiscal year.
"Food Service sales increased 3.7%, led by strong growth in handhelds, frozen novelties and bakery. Retail sales increased 12.4% largely reflecting strong sales of handhelds, frozen novelties and soft pretzels, partially offset by a single-digit decline in biscuits. We experienced healthy demand across our frozen novelties, including Luigi's, Icee and Dogsters, as well as continued strong performance for Superpretzel-branded products, including Bavarian sticks. As we had anticipated, the effect of the 2023 actors strike on this summer's film slate resulted in a significant year-over-year decline in movie theater attendance, impacting fiscal third quarter sales of frozen beverages, soft pretzels and churros. Despite these challenges, the depth and breadth of our customer channel combined with the success of our marketing and sales strategies enabled us to deliver record third quarter net sales.
"For example, the recent churros launch with one of the three largest QSR customers continues to exceed our expectations and helped partially offset softer churros sales in the theater and club channels during the quarter. Dippin Dots net sales also increased 5.3% and were less impacted by these challenges given the diverse customer base and improving trends in outdoor amusement. We are actively rolling out Dippin Dots at AMC, Cinemark and Marcus Theaters and expect to complete this process over the next three months. With a much stronger film slate in the back half of 2024 and into 2025, we remain excited about the growth opportunity of Dippin Dots in this channel and expect sales of our other products to improve as attendance trends recover to more normalized levels.
"In summary, we are executing our strategy, driving record sales and leveraging expenses to grow profits faster than sales. While we expect our 2024 fiscal fourth quarter results to be impacted by one less sales week versus the comparable prior year period, it is clear that our strategies to maximize sales across our customer channels and improve operating efficiencies are working. Looking ahead, we have a strong portfolio of beloved products and brands, with tremendous growth opportunities ahead of us. Our robust balance sheet and liquidity position, combined with a world-class team gives us confidence in our plans and ability to deliver long-term value to our employees, partners, and shareholders."
Third Quarter Highlights
Net sales increased 3.3% to $440.0 million in Q3 of fiscal 2024, compared to Q3 of fiscal 2023.
Key highlights include:
- Food Service segment sales increased 3.7% to $264.4 million versus Q3 '23.
- Retail segment sales increased 12.4% to $68.7 million versus Q3 '23.
- Frozen Beverage segment sales declined 2.6% to 106.8 million versus Q3 '23.
- Frozen Novelties, including Dippin Dots, Handhelds and Bakery in Food Service; Soft Pretzels, Handhelds and Frozen Novelties in Retail all delivered sales increases in the quarter. This was partially offset by softer sales of Soft Pretzels and Churros in Food Service; a decline in Biscuit sales in Retail and declines in Beverage, Maintenance and Machine revenue in Frozen Beverages.
- Dippin' Dots sales increased 5.3%, compared to Q3 '23.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 33.6% in Q3 '24, flat versus Q3 '23, reflecting the positive impact from improved product and pricing mix along with ongoing productivity improvements. Across our portfolio of raw materials, we saw net low-mid single-digit inflationary increases, with the net increase primarily driven by increases in the cost of cocoa/chocolate, and to a lesser extent, increases in the cost of sugar/sweeteners. Those increases were somewhat offset by deflationary trends seen in flour, cheese and dairy, mixes, and eggs. Pricing adjustments and contractual cost true-ups helped minimize the majority of the impact of the net inflationary increases in costs of raw materials on our gross margins in the quarter.
Total operating expenses of $97.7 million represented 22.2% of sales for the quarter, flat compared to Q3 '23.
- Distribution costs of $45.1 million represented 10.2% of sales in the quarter, versus 10.4% in the prior year period, as investments in improving our supply chain network continue to drive expenses savings and distribution efficiencies.
- Marketing and selling expenses of $32.6 million represented 7.4% of sales, flat versus the prior year period and continue to drive innovation, promote our brands and launch new selling opportunities.
- Administrative expenses of $19.9 million represented 4.5% of sales in Q3 '24, compared to 4.4% in Q3 '23.
Adjusted operating income was $53.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to $51.1 million in the prior year period, with the increase driven by sales growth, strong gross margins and added operational efficiencies. This led to net earnings in Q3 '24 of $36.3 million, favorably comparing to $35.0 million in Q3 '23. Our effective tax rate was 27.9% in Q3 '24.
Food Service Segment Third Quarter Highlights
- Q3 '24 food service sales totaled $264.4 million, or an increase of 3.7%, compared to Q3 '23 sales of $255.0 million.
- Churros sales were relatively flat, down 0.7% to $30.3 million reflecting lower theater and club channel sales, partially offset by new business growth with a major QSR customer. Bakery and Frozen Novelties sales increased by 6.8% and 9.1%, respectively, driven by unit volume growth in cookies and a 5.3% increase in Dippin' Dots sales. Growth across the segment also reflected a 25.3% increase in Handheld sales. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in Soft Pretzel of 6.3% driven primarily by soft theater sales.
- Sales of new products and added placement with new customers totaled approximately $6.4 million, driven primarily by the addition of churros to the menu of a major QSR customer.
- Q3 '24 operating income decreased 2.6% to $20.2 million, versus the prior year period with the decrease primarily driven by a slight change in product mix.
Retail Segment Third Quarter Highlights
- Q23'24 retail sales totaled $68.7 million, or an increase of 12.4%, compared to Q3 '23.
- Handheld sales grew by 69.9% driven by expanded placement of product with a major mass merchant. Frozen Novelties sales increased 10.9% led by growth of Dogsters and Icee novelties, as well as higher shipments as customers build inventory for the peak spring and summer seasons. Soft Pretzel sales increased 8.2% led by our continued expansion of Superpretzel products in retail, while Biscuit sales decreased 5.8% in the quarter.
- New product innovation and incremental distribution contributed approximately $3.1 million in the quarter driven primarily by the growth of Superpretzel Bavarian sticks into the Retail segment.
- Operating income for the quarter was $7.8 million, an increase of $3.6 million versus the prior year period driven by sales growth, product mix and higher gross margins.
Frozen Beverages Segment Third Quarter Highlights
- Frozen beverages segment sales totaled $106.8 million, a 2.6% decrease compared to a record Q3 '23.
- Beverage sales were down 1.1%, or $0.8 million below Q3'23 led by weakness across the theater channel as the industry recovers from the impacts of last years actors strike which led to fewer strong releases and lower attendance. The theater industry expects significant improvement in the back half of the calendar year and next year as the schedule of new releases is much stronger.
- Repair and Maintenance revenues declined 1.6%, versus the prior year period reflecting weaker maintenance call volumes, while Machine sales were down 15.4% in the quarter as a result of lapping a significant QSR rollout last year. Machine sales exceeded our internal plans for the quarter.
- Q3 '24 operating income decreased 5.5% to $22.1 million for the quarter, compared to a Q3 '23 operating income of $23.3 million, driven by weaker top-line sales and mix impacts on gross margin.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA consists of net earnings adjusted to exclude: income taxes (benefit); investment income; interest expense; depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation expense; net (gain) loss on sale or disposal of assets; impairment charges, restructuring costs, merger and acquisition costs, acquisition related inventory adjustments, strategic business transformation costs, and integration costs.

Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share consists of net earnings adjusted to exclude: impairment charges, restructuring costs, merger and acquisition costs, acquisition related amortization expenses and inventory adjustment, strategic business transformation costs, and integration costs. For purposes of comparability, the income tax effect of pre-tax adjustments is determined using statutory tax rates.
This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures; Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income, and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share. A "non-GAAP financial measure" is a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the statements of income, balance sheets, or statements of cash flow of the company. Pursuant to applicable reporting requirements, the company has provided reconciliations below of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
The non-GAAP financial measures presented within the Company's earnings release are not indicators of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to the applicable GAAP measure. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In addition, in evaluating these non-GAAP measures, you should be aware that in the future we may incur income, expenses, gains and losses, similar to the adjustments in this press release. Our presentation of these non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items. We compensate for these limitations by providing equal prominence to our GAAP results and using non-GAAP measures only as supplemental presentations.
The non-GAAP measures presented are utilized by management to evaluate the Company's business performance and profitability by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our recurring core business operating results. The Company believes that these measures provide additional clarity for investors by excluding specific income, expenses, gains, and losses, in an effort to show comparable business operating results for the periods presented. Similarly, Management believes these adjusted measures are useful performance measures because certain items included in the calculations may either mask or exaggerate trends in the Company's ongoing operating performance.
