Sam Galletti, President and CEO of Tattooed Chef said, “We are pleased with our record financial performance for the first half of 2020. Our first half net sales of $67.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $9 million for the first half 2020 positions us well to meet or exceed our full year Adjusted EBITDA expectation of $17 million. Our traction in the marketplace and expanded distribution with tier-one customers demonstrate the power of the Tattooed Chef brand. We expect to continue to drive profitable top-line growth due to our increased distribution into new and existing retail customers and through our e-commerce platform.”

Sarah Galletti, Creative Director and “The Tattooed Chef”, added, “For the first time in our company’s history, the Tattooed Chef branded products comprise a greater percentage of our sales than private label. We expect this trend to accelerate with the launch of our new e-commerce platform in October. The Tattooed Chef brand is now, more than ever, being recognized as an innovative, disruptive food company with a long runway for continued growth in sales and profitability.”

David Boris, Co-CEO and CFO of Forum said, “Tattooed Chef’s second quarter results demonstrate its ability to successfully execute in a dynamic operating environment.

First Six Months 2020 Results

Net sales of $67.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased 104% compared to $33.3 million in the prior year period. The sales increase was primarily driven by significant growth in sales of Tattooed Chef branded products and a smaller increase in sales of private label products, expansion in the number of U.S. distribution points, increased volume at current customers of the existing portfolio of products and new product introductions including acai bowls, spring vegetable blends, buffalo cauliflower, and other value-added riced cauliflower meals.

Gross profit increased 143% to $13.0 million compared to $5.3 million in the prior year period. Gross margin in the six months ended June 30, 2020 improved to 19.1% from 16.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The improvement in gross profit and gross margin was primarily due to raw material purchasing efficiencies and production efficiencies resulting from the increased sales.

Operating expenses of $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $1.2 million compared to $3.2 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses decreased to 6.6% for the first six months of 2020 compared to 9.7% in the prior year period. The increase in spending was due to increased sales and marketing expenses resulting from the focus on building the Tattooed Chef brand, offset by reduced travel and entertainment expenses due to COVID-19. The sales volume increase was attributable to greater penetration with existing customers, which allowed the company to manage the volume increase without a corresponding increase in operating expenses, leading to the lower expense as a percentage of sales in the current year period.

Adjusted EBITDA was $9.0 million, or 13.2% as a percentage of net sales, for the first half of 2020, compared to $2.4 million, or 7.2% as a percentage of net sales, in the prior year period. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was a result of the increased net sales and gross profit in the current year period. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined under “Non-GAAP Measures”.

Second Quarter 2020 Results

Net sales of $34.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased 113% compared to $16.3 million in the prior year period. The sales increase was primarily driven by significant growth in sales of Tattooed Chef branded products and a smaller increase in sales of private label products, expansion in the number of U.S. distribution points, increased volume at current customers of the existing portfolio of products and new product introductions.

Gross profit increased 92% to $3.7 million compared to $1.9 million in the prior year period. Gross margin in the three months ended June 30, 2020 was 10.8% compared to 11.9% in the three months ended June 30, 2019. The improvement in gross profit was due to the increase in net sales and the decline in gross margin was due primarily to the seasonal nature of agriculture production and the corresponding timing of manufacturing of crops in the Company’s operations in Italy.

Operating expenses of $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased slightly compared to $1.7 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses decreased to 5.9% compared to 10.7% in the prior year period. The increase in spending was due to increased sales and marketing expenses resulting from the focus on building the Tattooed Chef brand, offset by reduced travel and entertainment expenses due to COVID-19. The sales volume increase was attributable to existing customers, which allowed the Company to manage the volume increase without a corresponding increase in operating expenses, leading to the lower expense as a percentage of sales in the current year period.

Adjusted EBITDA was $2.0 million, or 5.6% as a percentage of net sales, for the second quarter of 2020, compared to $0.4 million, or 2.2% as a percentage of net sales, in the prior year period. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA year-over-year was a result of the increased net sales and gross profit in the current year period. The lower Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2020, sequentially, compared to the first quarter of 2020 record level of $7.0 million was due to the seasonal nature of agriculture production and the corresponding timing of manufacturing of crops in the Company’s operations in Italy. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined under “Non-GAAP Measures”.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a substitute for any GAAP financial measure and, as calculated, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry. The Company’s management team believes it is useful to provide investors with the same financial information that it uses internally to make comparisons of historical operating results, identify trends in underlying operating results, and evaluate its business.
