, /PRNewswire/ -- Flowers Foods, Inc. (NYSE: FLO) today reported financial results for the company's 16-week first quarter ended April 19, 2025. First Quarter Summary: Compared to the prior year first quarter where applicable Net sales(1) decreased 1.4% to $1.554 billion as the Simple Mills acquisition benefit was more than offset by pricing/mix and volume declines. Net income decreased 27.4% to $53.0 million, representing 3.4% of sales, a 120-basis point decrease, primarily due to reduced sales, higher SD&A expense, and higher interest expense, partly offset by moderating ingredient costs. Adjusted net income(2) decreased 8.2% to $73.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA(2) increased 1.6% to $162.0 million, representing 10.4% of net sales, a 30-basis point increase. Diluted EPS decreased $0.09 to $0.25. Adjusted diluted EPS(2) decreased $0.03 to $0.35. Completed acquisition of Simple Mills, which contributed $24.3 million in net sales, net loss of $4.2 million, $3.6 million to adjusted EBITDA(2), and ($0.02) diluted EPS(2). Chairman and CEO Remarks: "Despite economic uncertainty and greater than expected category declines in the first quarter, Flowers' performance underscores the importance of our leading brands, each of which maintained or gained unit and dollar share," said Ryals McMullian, chairman and CEO of Flowers Foods. "To mitigate category weakness, we are continuing to invest in on-trend innovation and targeting significant opportunities in faster-growing categories and adjacencies. The expansion of Dave's Killer Bread into the snacking category and the acquisition of Simple Mills, in combination with new product introductions like Nature's Own Keto in our core bread markets, exemplify our alignment with consumers' growing demand for differentiated, better-for-you products, and we remain excited about their continued growth potential. "Our adjusted 2025 financial guidance reflects our first quarter performance, the challenging consumer environment, and potential for increased tariff costs. To improve our near-term results, we are gaining additional shelf space, winning new business, and taking other proactive measures, while evolving our business to enable long-term outperformance. Our talented team and leading brands give me great confidence that we can drive shareholder value and deliver results consistent with our long-term financial targets." For the 53-week Fiscal 2025, the Company Expects: Net sales of approximately $5.297 billion to $5.395 billion, representing 3.8% to 5.7% growth compared to the prior year. Prior guidance called for net sales of approximately $5.403 billion to $5.487 billion, representing 5.9% to 7.5% growth. Excluding the Simple Mills acquisition, we expect net sales of approximately $5.079 billion to $5.170 billion, representing -0.5% to 1.3% growth compared to the prior year. Prior guidance, excluding the Simple Mills acquisition, called for net sales of approximately $5.180 billion to $5.257 billion, representing 1.5% to 3.0% growth. The partial-year benefit of the Simple Mills acquisition is expected to contribute $218 million to $225 million to net sales, compared to prior guidance of $223 million to $230 million. The 53rd week is expected to contribute $70 million to $80 million to net sales. Adjusted EBITDA(3) in the range of approximately $534 million to $562 million, compared to prior guidance of $560 million to $591 million. Excluding the Simple Mills acquisition, we expect adjusted EBITDA(3) of approximately $504 million to $529 million, compared to prior guidance of approximately $526 million to $554 million. The partial-year benefit of the Simple Mills acquisition is expected to contribute $30 million to $33 million to adjusted EBITDA(3), compared to prior guidance of $34 million to $37 million. The 53rd week is expected to contribute $5 million to $7 million to adjusted EBITDA(3). Adjusted diluted EPS(2) of approximately $1.05 to $1.15, compared to prior guidance of $1.11 to $1.24. Excluding the Simple Mills acquisition, we expect adjusted diluted EPS(2) of $1.13 to $1.22, compared to prior guidance of $1.18 to $1.28. The partial-year contribution of the Simple Mills acquisition to adjusted diluted EPS(2) is expected to be ($0.08) to ($0.07), compared to prior guidance of ($0.07) to ($0.04). The 53rd week is expected to contribute approximately $0.02 to adjusted diluted EPS(2). The company's outlook is based on the following assumptions: Depreciation and amortization of approximately $170 million to $175 million, compared to prior guidance of $175 million to $185 million. Net interest expense of approximately $63 million to $68 million, compared to prior guidance of $60 million to $65 million. An effective tax rate of approximately 25%. Weighted average diluted share count for the year of approximately 212.3 million shares. Capital expenditures of approximately $140 million to $150 million, with $4 million to $6 million related to our enterprise resource planning system upgrade. Matters Affecting Comparability: Reconciliation of Earnings per Share to Adjusted Earnings per Share For the 16-Week Period Ended For the 16-WeekPeriod Ended April 19, 2025 April 20, 2024 Net income per diluted common share $ 0.25 $ 0.34 Business process improvement costs NM 0.01 Plant closure costs and impairment of assets 0.03 0.01 Restructuring charges NM NM Restructuring-related implementation costs 0.02 NM Legal settlements and related costs NM — Acquisition-related costs 0.05 — Adjusted net income per diluted common share $ 0.35 $ 0.38 NM - not meaningful. Certain amounts may not add due to rounding. Consolidated First Quarter Operating Highlights Compared to the prior year first quarter where applicable Net sales decreased 1.4% to $1.554 billion. Pricing/mix(4) decreased 0.3%, volume(5) declined 2.7%, and the Simple Mills acquisition added 1.6%. Branded Retail net sales decreased $3.9 million, or 0.4%, to $1.011 billion due to volume declines and unfavorable price/mix resulting from increased promotional activity, partially offset by the acquisition contribution. Pricing/mix(4) declined 0.9%, volume(5) decreased 1.9%, and the Simple Mills acquisition contributed 2.4%. Other net sales decreased $18.7 million, or 3.3%, to $543.0 million due to inflationary pressure on consumer spending and from executing our non-retail margin optimization strategies. Pricing/mix(4) rose 0.4% and volume(5) declined 3.7%. Materials, supplies, labor, and other production costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) were 50.1% of net sales, a 50-basis point decrease. These costs decreased as a percentage of net sales mostly due to moderating ingredient costs. Lower production volumes, higher workforce-related costs, and increased outside purchases of product (sales with no associated ingredient costs) partially offset the overall improvement. Selling, distribution, and administrative (SD&A) expenses were 40.8% of net sales, a 110-basis point increase. SD&A expenses increased as a percentage of net sales due to higher workforce-related costs, acquisition-related costs, and vehicle rent expense. These items were partially offset by lower distributor distribution fees, benefits of cost savings programs implemented subsequent to the first quarter of the prior year, and lower incentive compensation costs. Excluding matters affecting comparability, adjusted SD&A(2) was 39.5% of net sales, a 20 basis point increase. Plant closure costs and impairment of assets increased $3.4 million, related to the closure of a bakery in the first quarter. Depreciation and amortization (D&A) expenses were $49.3 million or 3.2% of net sales, a 10-basis point increase. Net interest expense increased $8.4 million primarily due to higher interest expense from the issuance of debt to fund the Simple Mills acquisition and related fees and expenses. Net income decreased 27.4% to $53.0 million, representing 3.4% of sales, a 120-basis point decrease, and diluted EPS decreased $0.09 to $0.25. Adjusted net income(2) decreased 8.2% to $73.7 million and adjusted diluted EPS(2) decreased $0.03 to $0.35. Adjusted EBITDA(2) increased 1.6% to $162.0 million, representing 10.4% of net sales, a 30-basis point increase. Completed acquisition of Simple Mills, which contributed $24.3 million in net sales, net loss of $4.2 million inclusive of interest attributable to borrowings from funding the acquisition and amortization of acquired intangible assets, $3.6 million to adjusted EBITDA(2), and ($0.02) diluted EPS. Cash Flow, Capital Allocation, and Capital Return In the first quarter, cash flow from operating activities increased $30.5 million to $135.6 million, capital expenditures decreased $7.8 million to $25.6 million, and dividends paid to shareholders increased $1.2 million to $52.3 million. Cash and cash equivalents were $7.3 million at quarter end. (1) Any reference to sales refers to net sales inclusive of allowances and deductions against gross sales for variable consideration and consideration payable to customers (2) 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. (3) No reconciliation of the forecasted range for adjusted EBITDA to net income for the 53-week Fiscal 2025 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. For the same reasons, the company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results. (4) Calculated as (current year period units X change in price per unit) / prior year period net sales dollars (5) Calculated as (prior year period price per unit X change in units) / prior year period net sales dollars Pre-Recorded Management Remarks and Question and Answer Webcast In conjunction with this release, Flowers Foods will post pre-recorded management remarks and a supporting slide presentation on the investors page of flowersfoods.com. The company will host a live question and answer webcast at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on May 16, 2025, which will be archived on the investors page along with the other related materials.

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, Part II, Item 1A., Risk Factors, of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 19, 2025 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 release to the most comparable GAAP financial measure. Flowers Foods, Inc.
