Whole Earth Brands Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results

Sequential Margin Improvement Momentum Continues

Flavors & Ingredients Achieves Record Quarterly Sales

Chicago, Illinois – August 9, 2023 – Whole Earth Brands, Inc. (the “Company” or “we” or “our”) (Nasdaq: FREE), a global food company enabling healthier lifestyles through premium plant-based sweeteners, flavor enhancers and other foods, today announced its financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Second Quarter 2023 Highlights

· Reported consolidated revenue of $132.9 million, a decrease of 0.5% on a reported basis and essentially flat compared to the prior year period on a constant currency basis.

· Branded CPG revenue declined 1.7% on a reported basis and 1.2% on a constant currency basis as compared to 2022 as strong pricing growth was more than offset by volume declines; excluding the planned strategic decrease in Wholesome bulk sugar sales, which accounted for a 4.0% revenue decline, segment constant currency revenue increased 2.8%.

· Flavors & Ingredients revenue grew 4.0% compared to the prior year period, to a record $30.6 million, driven by strong pricing contributing to increased profitability of this segment.

· Operating income of $3.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $18.2 million.

	Second Quarter Net Product Revenue Growth Overview
	Reported	Foreign Currency Exchange	Constant Currency
Branded CPG	(1.7)%	(0.5)%	(1.2)%
Flavors & Ingredients	4.0%	(0.1)%	4.0%
Total	(0.5)%	(0.4)%	(0.1)%

“We continued to demonstrate meaningful progress with our margin improvement initiatives in the second quarter along with a top-line performance that was consistent with the prior year on a constant currency basis and ahead of the prior year when taking into account our strategic decision to decrease Wholesome bulk sugar sales,” stated Irwin D. Simon, Executive Chairman. “The entire global team remains laser focused on stabilizing, streamlining, and evolving our operations to drive enhanced productivity and sustainable margin improvement. Our supply chain reinvention is on track and will play a critical role in rightsizing our cost base, freeing up additional dollars for growth investments in support of our diverse portfolio of global brands.”

Mr. Simon continued, “We are pleased with the recent organizational changes implemented in April within our Branded CPG business. Both Rajnish and Nigel have already made an impact and have carried forward our efforts to streamline our operations as a means to reinvigorate global growth and enhance our margin profile. We are fortunate to have an excellent group of leaders across both our operating segments and I look forward to working alongside Rajnish Ohri and Jeff Robinson, who were appointed Interim co-CEOs in mid-July. Both are highly capable executives and will be invaluable to ensuring continuity in the near-term as the Special Committee of the Board evaluates the non-binding proposal from Sababa Holdings FREE, LLC and other potential strategic alternatives that are focused on delivering value to shareholders.”

Jeff Robinson, Interim Co-CEO, commented, “Our Flavors & Ingredients business is a strong free cash flow generator with high barriers to entry and a global leadership position. The business continues to perform well and in the second quarter we achieved our highest quarterly sales since becoming a public company. Our commercial initiatives are generating strong growth and coupled with our improved cost structure, we are delivering consistently high operating margins and resultant cash flow.”

Rajnish Ohri, Interim Co-CEO, stated, “Our Branded CPG portfolio is well-positioned in the current environment with a diverse assortment of strong brands and complementary private label offerings. Additionally, our brands are performing well internationally, gaining market share across all key international regions. In North America, we have made important progress on streamlining our organization and manufacturing footprint. We are working relentlessly towards developing new opportunities to support the momentum of our brands and drive long-term profitable growth.”

SECOND QUARTER 2023 RESULTS

· Consolidated product revenues were $132.9 million, a decrease of 0.5% on a reported basis and essentially flat on a constant currency basis, as compared to the prior year second quarter. A stronger US dollar reduced reported consolidated product revenues by approximately $0.5 million, or 0.4%, versus the prior year quarter.

· Reported gross profit was $33.4 million, compared to $37.3 million in the prior year second quarter. The decrease was largely driven by cost inflation, partially offset by pricing actions. Additionally, the prior year period included $0.9 million of favorable non-cash purchase accounting adjustments related to inventory revaluations that did not re-occur. Adjusted gross profit was $40.4 million, compared to $42.6 million in the prior year second quarter.

· Reported gross profit margin was 25.1% in the second quarter of 2023, compared to 27.9% in the prior year period. Adjusted gross profit margin was 30.4%, compared to 31.9% in the prior year second quarter. Adjusted gross profit margin has improved approximately 150 basis points as compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.

· Consolidated operating income was $3.0 million compared to operating income of $7.7 million in the prior year second quarter primarily due to cost inflation and increased severance costs.

· Consolidated net loss was $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to net income of $1.3 million in the prior year period due to the decline in operating income as well as increased interest expense.

· Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $18.2 million compared to $19.7 million in the prior year quarter, declining 7.6% driven by cost inflation exceeding pricing gains.

SEGMENT RESULTS

Branded CPG Segment

Branded CPG segment product revenues were $102.3 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $104.1 million for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 1.7%. On a constant currency basis, segment product revenues were down 1.2% compared to the prior year as 4.8% growth from pricing actions was more than offset by a 6% decline due to lower volumes. The decline from volumes was largely driven by the planned strategic decision to manage Wholesome bulk sugar sales to avoid incremental tariffs. Excluding the decrease in Wholesome bulk sugar sales, segment constant currency revenue increased 2.8%.

Operating income was $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to operating income of $5.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to cost inflation, as well as other discrete costs such as higher severance expense and an impairment of fixed assets of $0.8 million related to idled production lines at our Decatur, Alabama facility.

Flavors & Ingredients Segment

Flavors & Ingredients segment product revenues increased 4.0% to $30.6 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $29.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The impact of foreign currency exchange was insignificant.

Operating income of $9.0 million in the second quarter of 2023 was essentially flat with that of the prior year period.

Corporate

Corporate expenses for the second quarter of 2023 were $7.4 million, compared to $6.9 million of expenses in the prior year period. The increase is primarily attributed to severance related costs.

YEAR-TO-DATE 2023 HIGHLIGHTS

· Consolidated product revenues were $265.3 million, an increase of 0.5% on a reported basis, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. On a constant currency basis, product revenues increased 1.4% compared to the prior year period.

· Consolidated operating income was $6.1 million compared to $14.8 million in the prior year period.

· Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA decreased $2.7 million, or 7.2%, to $34.8 million.

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $24.1 million and $427.0 million of long-term debt, net of unamortized debt issuance costs. At June 30, 2023, there was $72 million drawn on its $125 million revolving credit facility.

Cash provided by operating activities was $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Free cash flow, defined as operating cash flow minus capital expenditures, was $2.2 million for the first half of 2023.

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage exposure to interest rate risk related to the variable portion of its term loan facility. The agreement converts the variable interest rate on $183.3 million of the term loan (approximately 50% of the notional amount of the facility) to a rate of 4.265% through February 2026. The Company expects to realize approximately $1 million of interest savings in the second half of 2023.

Outlook

The Company is reaffirming its outlook for the full year 2023. The Company’s 2023 outlook is as follows:

· Net Product Revenues: $550 million to $565 million representing reported growth of 2% to 5%

· Adjusted EBITDA: $76 million to $78 million

· Capital Expenditures: Approximately $9 million

The outlook is provided in the context of greater than usual volatility as a result of current geo-political events, the current inflationary environment and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited)

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). However, management believes that also presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures provides additional information to facilitate the comparison of the Company’s historical operating results and trends in its underlying operating results, and provides additional transparency on how the Company evaluates its business. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company’s performance. The Company also believes that presenting these measures allows investors to view its performance using the same measures that the Company uses in evaluating its financial and business performance and trends. The Company considers quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing whether to adjust for the impact of items that may be significant or that could affect an understanding of its ongoing financial and business performance and trends. The adjustments generally fall within the following categories: constant currency adjustments, intangible asset non-cash impairments, purchase accounting charges, transaction-related costs, long-term incentive expense, non-cash pension expenses, severance and related expenses associated with productivity initiatives, public company readiness, M&A transaction expenses, supply chain reinvention costs and other one-time items affecting comparability of operating results. See below for a description of adjustments to the Company’s U.S. GAAP financial measures included herein. Non-GAAP information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies.

DEFINITIONS OF THE COMPANY’S NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures and corresponding metrics reflect how the Company evaluates its operating results currently and provide improved comparability of operating results. As new events or circumstances arise, these definitions could change. When these definitions change, the Company provides the updated definitions and presents the related non-GAAP historical results on a comparable basis. When items no longer impact the Company’s current or future presentation of non-GAAP operating results, the Company removes these items from its non-GAAP definitions.

The following is a list of non-GAAP financial measures which the Company has discussed or expects to discuss in the future:

· Constant Currency Presentation: We evaluate our product revenue results on both a reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our product revenue results, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance and is consistent with how management evaluates the Company’s performance. We calculate constant currency percentages by converting our current period local currency product revenue results using the prior period exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to our prior period reported product revenues.

· Adjusted EBITDA: We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss from our consolidated statements of operations before interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as well as certain other items that arise outside of the ordinary course of our continuing operations specifically described below:

o Asset impairment charges: We exclude the impact of charges related to the impairment of goodwill and other long-lived intangible assets. We believe that the exclusion of these impairments, which are non-cash, allows for more meaningful comparisons of operating results to peer companies. We believe that this increases period-to-period comparability and is useful to evaluate the performance of the company.

o Purchase accounting adjustments: We exclude the impact of purchase accounting adjustments, including the revaluation of inventory at the time of the business combination. These adjustments are non-cash and we believe that the adjustments of these items allows for more meaningful comparability of our operating results.

o Long-term incentive plan: We exclude the impact of costs relating to the long-term incentive plan. We believe that the adjustments of these items allows for more meaningful comparability of our operating results.

o Non-cash pension expenses: We exclude non-cash pension expenses/credits related to closed, defined pension programs of the Company. We believe that the adjustments of these items allows for more meaningful comparability of our operating results.

o Severance and related expenses: We exclude employee severance and associated expenses related to roles that have been eliminated or reduced in scope as a productivity measure taken by the Company. We believe that the adjustments of these items allows for more meaningful comparability of our operating results.

o M&A transaction expenses: We exclude expenses directly related to the acquisition of businesses. We believe that the adjustments of these items allows for more meaningful comparability of our operating results.

o Supply chain reinvention: To measure operating performance, we exclude certain one-time and other costs associated with reorganizing our North America Branded CPG operations and facilities in connection with our supply chain reinvention program, which will drive long-term productivity and cost savings. These costs include incremental expenses such as hiring, training, start up and other temporary costs. We believe that the adjustments of these items allows for more meaningful comparability of our operating results.

o Other items: To measure operating performance, we exclude certain expenses and include certain gains that we believe are not operational in nature. We believe the exclusion or inclusion of such amounts allows management and the users of the financial statements to better understand our financial results.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP, and our use of the term Adjusted EBITDA may vary from the use of similarly-titled measures by others in our industry due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation and differences due to items subject to interpretation. Adjusted EBITDA margin is Adjusted EBITDA for a particular period expressed as a percentage of product revenues for that period.

We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure our performance from period to period both at the consolidated level as well as within our operating segments, to evaluate and fund incentive compensation programs and to compare our results to those of our competitors. In addition to Adjusted EBITDA being a significant measure of performance for management purposes, we also believe that this presentation provides useful information to investors regarding financial and business trends related to our results of operations and that when non-GAAP financial information is viewed with GAAP financial information, investors are provided with a more meaningful understanding of our ongoing operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss, operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or cash flows as measures of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

The Company cannot reconcile its expected Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income under “Outlook” without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact net income and other reconciling metrics are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. These items include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation expense and acquisition-related charges. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance period.

Adjusted Gross Profit Margin: We define Adjusted Gross Profit Margin as Gross Profit excluding all cash and non-cash adjustments impacting Cost of Goods Sold, included in the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation, as a percentage of Product Revenues, net. Such adjustments include: depreciation, purchase accounting adjustments, long-term incentives and other items adjusted by management to better understand our financial results.
