B&G Foods Delivers Strong Net Sales and Earnings Growth for Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2011

— Board Increases Dividend 17.4%; Third Increase in Last 12 Months —

 

Parsippany, N.J., February 16, 2012—B&G Foods, Inc. (NYSE: BGS) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2011.

 

Highlights:

 

·                  Net sales increased 5.7% to $150.0 million for the quarter and 6.0% to $543.9 million for the year

 

·                  Net income increased 55.2% to $50.2 million for the year

 

·                  Adjusted net income* increased 22.8% to $53.1 million for the year

 

·                  Diluted earnings per share increased 55.2% to $1.04 for the year

 

·                  Adjusted diluted earnings per share* increased 21.1% to $1.09 for the year

 

·                  Adjusted EBITDA* increased 11.8% to $36.7 million for the quarter and 9.5% to $131.1 million for the year

 

·                  The Company expects to deliver 2012 adjusted EBITDA of $166.0 million to $170.0 million

 

David L. Wenner, President and Chief Executive Officer of B&G Foods, stated, “2011 was the third consecutive year of strong results for our business, producing solid organic and acquisition sales growth, and strong earnings and adjusted EBITDA growth.  We believe our acquisition of the Culver Specialty Brands on November 30th sets the stage for another year of strong top and bottom line growth in 2012.”

 

“We continue to believe that returning cash to our shareholders is a key component of B&G Foods’ approach to generating total return for shareholders, and consistent with that our Board of Directors yesterday increased our quarterly dividend, the third increase since the start of 2011.”

 

Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter of 2011

 

Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2011 increased 5.7% to $150.0 million from $141.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2010.  This $8.1 million increase was attributable to an increase in unit volume of $5.6 million and pricing of $3.1 million, partially offset by an increase in coupon and slotting expenses of $0.6 million.  Net sales of the Culver Specialty Brands, which B&G Foods acquired at the end of November 2011, contributed $6.5 million to the overall fourth quarter increase and net sales of the Company’s Don Pepino and Sclafani brands, which B&G Foods acquired during the fourth quarter of 2010, contributed $1.9 million to the overall fourth quarter increase.

 


*            Please see “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Items Affecting Comparability” below for definitions of the terms adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, as well as information concerning certain items affecting comparability and reconciliations of the non-GAAP terms adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

 



 

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2011 increased 4.7% to $49.3 million from $47.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.  Gross profit expressed as a percentage of net sales decreased 0.3 percentage points to 32.9% for the fourth quarter of 2011 from 33.2% in the fourth quarter of 2010.  The decrease in gross profit expressed as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to an increase in commodity and distribution costs partially offset by increased pricing of $3.1 million and a sales mix shift to higher margin products.  Operating income increased 7.2% to $31.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, from $28.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.

 

Net interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2011 increased $3.3 million or 39.3% to $11.8 million from $8.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2010.  The increase in net interest expense for the fourth quarter was primarily attributable to additional debt incurred for the Culver Specialty Brands acquisition and a $2.1 million write-off of the remaining amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to an interest rate swap due to the Company’s prepayment and termination of $130.0 million of term loan borrowings under its prior credit agreement.

 

The Company’s reported net income under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) was $12.3 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2011, as compared to reported net income of $14.3 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2010.  The Company’s adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $14.7 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.30, as compared to adjusted net income of $13.7 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.28 for the fourth quarter of 2010.

 

For the fourth quarter of 2011, adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the impact of transaction costs related to the Culver Specialty Brands acquisition, increased 11.8% to $36.7 million from $32.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2010.  There were no adjustments to EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2010.

 

Financial Results for Full-Year 2011

 

Net sales for fiscal 2011 increased 6.0% to $543.9 million from $513.3 million for fiscal 2010.  This $30.5 million increase was attributable to an increase in unit volume of $29.6 million and pricing of $1.7 million, respectively, offset by an increase in coupon and slotting expenses of $0.8 million.  Net sales of the Company’s Don Pepino and Sclafani brands, which B&G Foods acquired during the fourth quarter of 2010, contributed $12.5 million to the overall increase for fiscal 2011 and net sales of the Culver Specialty Brands, which B&G Foods acquired at the end of November 2011, contributed $6.5 million to the overall increase for fiscal 2011.

 

Gross profit for fiscal 2011 increased 6.0% to $177.8 million from $167.7 million in fiscal 2010.  Gross profit expressed as a percentage of net sales remained consistent at 32.7% in fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, attributable to pricing gains of $1.7 million and a sales mix shift to higher margin products offset by higher input and distribution costs.  Operating income increased 8.4% to $113.5 million in fiscal 2011, from $104.7 million in fiscal 2010.

 

Net interest expense for fiscal 2011 decreased $3.7 million or 9.1% to $36.7 million from $40.3 million in fiscal 2010.  The decrease in net interest expense in fiscal 2011 was due to the termination of an interest rate swap, which reduced the effective interest rate on $130.0 million of term loan borrowings under the Company’s prior credit agreement and eliminated the unfavorable fair market value adjustment relating to the interest rate swap.  This was partially offset by an increase in interest expense from additional debt incurred for the Culver Specialty Brands acquisition and a $2.1 million charge relating to the write-off of the remaining amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the interest rate swap due to the Company’s early termination of $130.0 million of term loan borrowings under its prior credit agreement.

 

The Company’s reported net income under U.S. GAAP was $50.2 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, for fiscal 2011, as compared to reported net income of $32.4 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, for fiscal 2010.  The Company’s adjusted net income for fiscal 2011 was $53.1 million, and adjusted diluted

earnings per share was $1.09, as compared to adjusted net income of $43.2 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.90 for fiscal 2010.

 

For fiscal 2011, adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the impact of transaction costs related to the Culver Specialty Brands acquisition, increased 9.5% to $131.1 million from $119.7 million for fiscal 2010.  There were no adjustments to EBITDA for fiscal 2010.

 

Guidance

 

Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2012 is expected to be approximately $166.0 million to $170.0 million.  Capital expenditures for fiscal 2012 are expected to be approximately $12.0 million.  Cash interest expense for fiscal 2012 is expected to be approximately $44.0 million.

 

Quarterly Dividend Increased 17.4%

 

On February 15, 2012, B&G Foods’ Board of Directors increased the Company’s quarterly dividend 17.4% from $0.23 to $0.27 per share of common stock.  On an annualized basis, the dividend increases from $0.92 to $1.08 per share. The next quarterly dividend will be payable on April 30, 2012 to shareholders of record as of March 30, 2012.  At the closing market price of the common stock on February 15, 2012, the new dividend rate represents an annualized yield of 4.8%.  This is the 3rd quarterly dividend increase since the start of 2011 and is the 30th consecutive quarterly dividend declared by the Board of Directors since B&G Foods’ initial public offering in October 2004.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Items Affecting Comparability

 

“Adjusted net income,” “adjusted diluted earnings per share,” “EBITDA” (net income before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and loss on extinguishment of debt) and “adjusted EBITDA” (EBITDA as adjusted for acquisition-related transaction costs incurred in fiscal 2011) are “non-GAAP financial measures.”  A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in B&G Foods’ consolidated balance sheets and related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows.  Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures.  The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

 

The Company uses “adjusted net income” and “adjusted diluted earnings per share,” which are calculated as reported net income and reported diluted earnings per share adjusted for certain items that affect comparability.  These non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments to reported net income and diluted earnings per share to eliminate the items identified below.  This information is provided in order to allow investors to make meaningful comparisons of the Company’s operating performance between periods and to view the Company’s business from the same perspective as the Company’s management.  Because the Company cannot predict the timing and amount of charges associated with realized and unrealized gains or losses on the Company’s interest rate swap, acquisition-related transaction costs and gains or losses on extinguishment of

debt, management does not consider these costs when evaluating the Company’s performance or when making decisions regarding allocation of resources.

 

A reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income and to net cash provided by operating activities is included below for fiscal 2011 and 2010, along with the components of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.  Also included below are reconciliations of the non-GAAP terms adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share to reported net income and reported diluted earnings per share.

(3)                    EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management to measure operating performance.  A non-GAAP financial measure is defined as a numerical measure of our financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in our consolidated balance sheets and related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows.  We define EBITDA as net income before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and loss on extinguishment of debt.  We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for acquisition-related transaction costs incurred in fiscal 2011.  Management believes that it is useful to eliminate net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt and acquisition-related transaction costs because it allows management to focus on what it deems to be a more reliable indicator of ongoing operating performance and our ability to generate cash flow from operations.  We use EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in our business operations, among other things, to evaluate our operating performance, develop budgets and measure our performance against those budgets, determine employee bonuses and evaluate our cash flows in terms of cash needs. We also present EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because we believe they are useful indicators of our historical debt capacity and ability to service debt and because covenants in our credit agreement and our senior notes indenture contain ratios based on these measures.  As a result, internal management reports used during monthly operating reviews feature the EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA metrics. However, management uses these metrics in conjunction with traditional GAAP operating performance and liquidity measures as part of its overall assessment of company performance and liquidity and therefore does not place undue reliance on these measures as its only measures of operating performance and liquidity.

 

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to operating income or net income as an indicator of operating performance or any other GAAP measure. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not complete net cash flow measures because EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are measures of liquidity that do not include reductions for cash payments for an entity’s obligation to service its debt, fund its working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions and pay its income taxes and dividends.  Rather, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are two potential indicators of an entity’s ability to fund these cash requirements.  EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not complete measures of an entity’s profitability because they do not include costs and expenses for depreciation and amortization, interest and related expenses, loss on extinguishment of debt, acquisition-related transaction costs and income taxes.  Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.  However, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA can still be useful in evaluating our performance against our peer companies because management believes these measures provide users with valuable insight into key components of GAAP amounts.
