BellRing Brands Reports Results for the Second Quarter 2025; Affirms Fiscal Year 2025 Outlook

ST. LOUIS, May 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BellRing Brands, Inc. (NYSE:BRBR) (“BellRing”), a holding company operating in the global convenient nutrition category, today reported results for the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025. Highlights: Second quarter net sales of $588.0 millionOperating profit of $95.1 million, net earnings of $58.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA* of $118.6 million *Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. For additional information regarding non-GAAP measures, see the related explanations presented under “Use of Non-GAAP Measures” later in this release. BellRing provides Adjusted EBITDA guidance only on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide a reconciliation of its forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA non-GAAP guidance measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including the adjustments described under “Outlook” later in this release. “Our momentum continued this quarter as Premier Protein consumption accelerated. Increased promotions, our media campaign and new products drove Premier Protein household penetration and market share to new all-time highs. Our powder products benefited from distribution gains and brand building investments,” said Darcy H. Davenport, President and Chief Executive Officer of BellRing. “The convenient nutrition category and our leading mainstream brands continue to resonate with consumers, demonstrating a long runway of growth for ready-to-drink shakes and powders. I am pleased to affirm our guidance of net sales growth of 13% to 17% with strong Adjusted EBITDA margins even amidst the current uncertain macroeconomic environment.” Dollar consumption of Premier Protein ready-to-drink (“RTD”) shakes, Premier Protein powder products and Dymatize powder and RTD products increased 24.9%, 21.7% and 3.0% respectively, in the 13-week period ended March 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024 (inclusive of Circana United States (“U.S.”) Multi Outlet Plus with Convenience and management estimates of untracked channels). For additional information regarding consumption metrics, see the supplemental slide presentation on BellRing’s website, which can be accessed by visiting the Investor Relations section. Second Quarter Results Net sales were $588.0 million, an increase of 18.9%, or $93.4 million, compared to the prior year period, driven by 15.3% increase in volume and 3.6% increase in price/mix. Premier Protein net sales increased 22.0%, driven by 15.3% volume growth and 6.7% increase in price/mix. Premier Protein RTD shake net sales increased 21.7%, driven by 15.2% increase in volume and 6.5% increase in price/mix. Volume gains were driven by distribution gains and increased promotional activity. Additionally, net sales benefited from higher average net selling prices driven by price increases to offset cost inflation. Dymatize net sales increased 3.0%, driven by 20.4% increase in volume which was partially offset by a 17.3% decrease in price/mix. Volume growth was lifted by higher international volumes and new product introductions, the latter of which negatively impacted price/mix. Gross profit was $189.8 million, or 32.3% of net sales, an increase of 15.5%, or $25.5 million, compared to $164.3 million, or 33.2% of net sales, in the prior year period. Adjusted gross profit* was $202.7 million, or 34.5% of net sales, an increase of $35.9 million, or 21.5%, compared to $166.8 million, or 33.7% of net sales, in the prior year period. In the second quarter of 2025, gross profit and adjusted gross profit benefited from improved pricing which was partly offset by net input cost inflation and increased promotional activity. *Adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit margin are non-GAAP measures that exclude mark-to-market adjustments on commodity hedges. For additional information regarding non-GAAP measures, see the related explanations presented under “Use of Non-GAAP Measures” later in this release. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $90.5 million, or 15.4% of net sales, an increase of $21.4 million compared to $69.1 million, or 14.0% of net sales, in the prior year period. SG&A expenses in the second quarter of 2025 included higher marketing and consumer advertising expenses of $12.5 million and increased distribution and warehousing expenses on higher volumes. Operating profit was $95.1 million, an increase of 4.5%, or $4.1 million, compared to $91.0 million in the prior year period. Interest expense, net was $16.5 million and $14.5 million in the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively, with the increase primarily driven by higher borrowings outstanding under BellRing’s revolving credit facility. Income tax expense was $19.9 million in the second quarter of 2025, an effective income tax rate of 25.3%, compared to $19.3 million in the second quarter of 2024, an effective income tax rate of 25.2%. Net earnings were $58.7 million, an increase of 2.6%, or $1.5 million, compared to $57.2 million in the prior year period. Net earnings per diluted common share were $0.45, an increase of 4.7%, compared to $0.43 in the prior year period. Adjusted net earnings* were $68.7 million, an increase of 16.0%, compared to $59.2 million in the prior year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per common share* were $0.53, an increase of 17.8%, compared to $0.45 in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA* was $118.6 million, an increase of 14.4%, or $14.9 million, compared to $103.7 million in the prior year period. *Adjusted net earnings, Adjusted diluted earnings per common share and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. For additional information regarding non-GAAP measures, see the related explanations presented under “Use of Non-GAAP Measures” later in this release. Six Month Results Net sales were $1,120.9 million, an increase of 21.2%, or $195.9 million, compared to the prior year period, driven by 17.8% increase in volume and 3.4% increase in price/mix. Premier Protein net sales increased 24.0%, driven by 18.0% increase in volume and 6.0% increase in price/mix. Dymatize net sales increased 7.5%, driven by 16.3% increase in volume and 8.8% decrease in price/mix. Gross profit was $389.4 million, or 34.7% of net sales, an increase of 24.7%, or $77.1 million, compared to $312.3 million, or 33.8% of net sales, in the prior year period. Adjusted gross profit* was $400.8 million, or 35.8% of net sales, an increase of $85.8 million, or 27.2%, compared to $315.0 million, or 34.1% of net sales, in the prior year period. In the six months ended March 31, 2025, gross profit and adjusted gross profit benefited from improved pricing which was partly offset by net input cost inflation and incremental promotional activity. *Adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit margin are non-GAAP measures that exclude mark-to-market adjustments on commodity hedges. For additional information regarding non-GAAP measures, see the related explanations presented under “Use of Non-GAAP Measures” later in this release. SG&A expenses were $170.6 million, or 15.2% of net sales, an increase of $48.7 million compared to $121.9 million, or 13.2% of net sales, in the prior year period. SG&A expenses in the six months ended March 31, 2025 included higher marketing and consumer advertising expenses of $21.4 million and increased distribution and warehousing expenses on higher volumes. Operating profit was $210.4 million, an increase of 28.3%, or $46.4 million, compared to $164.0 million in the prior year period. In the six months ended March 31, 2024, operating profit was negatively impacted by $17.4 million of accelerated amortization, which was incurred in connection with the discontinuance of the North American PowerBar business and treated as an adjustment for non-GAAP measures. Interest expense, net was $30.9 million and $29.4 million in the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, with the increase primarily driven by higher borrowings outstanding under BellRing’s revolving credit facility. Income tax expense was $43.9 million in the six months ended March 31, 2025, an effective income tax rate of 24.5%, compared to $33.5 million in the six months ended March 31, 2024, an effective income tax rate of 24.9%. Net earnings were $135.6 million, an increase of 34.1%, or $34.5 million, compared to $101.1 million in the prior year period. Net earnings per diluted common share were $1.04, an increase of 36.8%, compared to $0.76 in the prior year period. Adjusted net earnings* were $144.9 million, an increase of 24.4%, compared to $116.5 million in the prior year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per common share* were $1.11, an increase of 26.1%, compared to $0.88 in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA* was $243.9 million, an increase of 19.4%, or $39.7 million, compared to $204.2 million in the prior year period. *Adjusted net earnings, Adjusted diluted earnings per common share and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. For additional information regarding non-GAAP measures, see the related explanations presented under “Use of Non-GAAP Measures” later in this release. Share Repurchases During the second quarter of 2025, BellRing repurchased 2.4 million shares for $171.7 million at an average price of $71.68 per share. During the six months ended March 31, 2025, BellRing repurchased 2.5 million shares for $182.7 million at an average price of $71.98 per share. As of March 31, 2025, BellRing had $280.0 million remaining under its share repurchase authorization. Outlook BellRing management has affirmed its fiscal year 2025 outlook and continues to expect net sales to range between $2.26-$2.34 billion and Adjusted EBITDA to range between $470-$500 million (resulting in net sales and Adjusted EBITDA growth of 13%-17% and 7%-14%, respectively, over fiscal year 2024). BellRing management expects fiscal year 2025 capital expenditures of approximately $9 million. BellRing provides Adjusted EBITDA guidance only on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide a reconciliation of its forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA non-GAAP guidance measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including adjustments that could be made for mark-to-market adjustments on commodity hedges and other charges reflected in BellRing’s reconciliations of historical numbers, the amounts of which, based on historical experience, could be significant. For additional information regarding BellRing’s non-GAAP measures, see the related explanations presented under “Use of Non-GAAP Measures.” Use of Non-GAAP Measures BellRing uses certain non-GAAP measures in this release to supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP measures include Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted gross profit margin, Adjusted net earnings, Adjusted diluted earnings per common share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. The reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is provided later in this release under “Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures.” Management uses certain of these non-GAAP measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales, as key metrics in the evaluation of underlying company performance, in making financial, operating and planning decisions and, in part, in the determination of bonuses for its executive officers and employees. Additionally, BellRing is required to comply with certain covenants and limitations that are based on variations of EBITDA in its financing documents. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP measures provides increased transparency and assists investors in understanding the underlying operating performance of BellRing and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. Non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, as they exclude certain items as described later in this release. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. For additional information regarding BellRing’s non-GAAP measures, see the related explanations provided under “Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” later in this release.

These non-GAAP measures include Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted gross profit margin, Adjusted net earnings, Adjusted diluted earnings per common share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. The reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is provided in the tables following this section. Non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, as they exclude certain items as described below. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross profit marginBellRing believes Adjusted gross profit is useful to investors in evaluating BellRing’s underlying profitability of its revenue-generating activities as it excludes mark-to-market adjustments on commodity hedges (which are primarily non-cash and not consistent across periods; see the explanation below for more information). BellRing believes Adjusted gross profit margin (Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of net sales) is useful to investors in evaluating BellRing’s operating performance because it allows for more meaningful comparison of operating performance across periods. Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted diluted earnings per common shareBellRing believes Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted diluted earnings per common share are useful to investors in evaluating BellRing’s operating performance because they exclude items that affect the comparability of BellRing’s financial results and could potentially distort an understanding of the trends in business performance. Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted diluted earnings per common share are adjusted for the following items: a. Accelerated amortization: BellRing has excluded non-cash accelerated amortization charges recorded in connection with the discontinuation of certain brands or the discontinuation of the use of certain brands in certain regions as the amount and frequency of such charges are not consistent. Additionally, BellRing believes that these charges do not reflect expected ongoing future operating expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of BellRing’s current operating performance or comparisons of BellRing’s operating performance to other periods.b. Mark-to-market adjustments on commodity hedges: BellRing has excluded the impact of mark-to-market adjustments on commodity hedges due to the inherent uncertainty and volatility associated with such amounts based on changes in assumptions with respect to fair value estimates. Additionally, these adjustments are primarily non-cash items and the amount and frequency of such adjustments are not consistent.c. Provision for legal matters: BellRing has excluded gains and losses recorded to recognize the anticipated or actual resolution of certain litigation as BellRing believes such gains and losses do not reflect expected ongoing future operating income and expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of BellRing’s current operating performance or comparisons of BellRing’s operating performance to other periods.d. Foreign currency gain/loss on intercompany loans: BellRing has excluded the impact of foreign currency fluctuations related to intercompany loans denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective legal entity in evaluating BellRing’s performance to allow for more meaningful comparisons of performance to other periods.e. Income tax effect on adjustments: BellRing has included the income tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments using a rate described in the applicable footnote of the reconciliation tables, as BellRing believes that its GAAP effective income tax rate as reported is not representative of the income tax expense impact of the adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net salesBellRing believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating BellRing’s operating performance and liquidity because (i) BellRing believes it is widely used to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization, which can vary depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets, (ii) it presents a measure of corporate performance exclusive of BellRing’s capital structure and the method by which the assets were acquired and (iii) it is a financial indicator of a company’s ability to service its debt, as BellRing is required to comply with certain covenants and limitations that are based on variations of EBITDA in its financing documents. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to provide forward-looking guidance and to forecast future results. BellRing believes that Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales is useful to investors in evaluating BellRing’s operating performance because it allows for more meaningful comparison of operating performance across periods. Adjusted EBITDA reflects adjustments for income tax expense, interest expense, net and depreciation and amortization including accelerated amortization, and the following adjustments discussed above: mark-to-market adjustments on commodity hedges, provision for legal matters and foreign currency gain/loss on intercompany loans. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA reflects an adjustment for the following item: f. Stock-based compensation: BellRing’s compensation strategy includes the use of BellRing stock-based compensation to attract and retain executives and employees by aligning their long-term compensation interests with BellRing’s stockholders’ investment interests. BellRing’s director compensation strategy includes an election by any director who earns retainers in which the director may elect to defer compensation granted as a director to BellRing common stock, earning a match on the deferral, both of which are stock-settled upon the director’s retirement from the BellRing board of directors. BellRing has excluded stock-based compensation as stock-based compensation can vary significantly based on reasons such as the timing, size and nature of the awards granted and subjective assumptions which are unrelated to operational decisions and performance in any particular period and does not contribute to meaningful comparisons of BellRing’s operating performance to other periods.
