Hershey Reports Second-Quarter 2021 Financial Results;
Updates 2021 Net Sales and Earnings Outlook
HERSHEY, Pa., July 29, 2021 - The Hershey Company (NYSE: HSY) today announced net sales and earnings for the second quarter ended July 4, 2021, and updated its full-year financial outlook.
“Our business continued to excel in the second quarter with robust recovery in away-from-home consumption and international markets and sustained elevated at-home consumption,” said Michele Buck, The Hershey Company President and Chief Executive Officer. “This strong consumer demand, coupled with our executional excellence, healthy balance sheet and relentless focus on delivering against our strategic initiatives in the quarter enabled us to support and expand our portfolio, invest in our people and deliver strong shareholder returns. As trends continue to fluctuate, we are confident in our ability to adapt with our consumers and retailers and continue meeting their needs in the future.”
Second-Quarter 2021 Financial Results Summary1
•Consolidated net sales of $1,989.4 million, an increase of 16.5%.
•Organic, constant currency net sales increased 15.5%.
•Foreign currency exchange was a 1.0 point benefit to net sales.
•Reported net income of $301.2 million, or $1.45 per share-diluted, an increase of 12.4%.
•Adjusted earnings per share-diluted of $1.47, an increase of 12.2%.
1 All comparisons for the second quarter of 2021 are with respect to the second quarter ended June 28, 2020
2021 Full-Year Financial Outlook
The company is updating its 2021 net sales and earnings outlook to reflect the strength of its performance in the second quarter and the acquisition of Lily's Sweets, LLC ("Lily's"):
•Full-year net sales growth is now expected to be in the range of 6% to 8%, an increase from the previously communicated range of 4% to 6%. This increase is driven by stronger than anticipated recovery in the company's away-from-home business and international markets, as well as the acquisition of Lily's.
◦The net impact of acquisitions and divestitures is anticipated to be a 0.7 point benefit.
•Full-year reported earnings per share are now expected to be in the range of $6.59 to $6.85, an increase of 8% to 12% from $6.11 in fiscal 2020. This slight decrease versus the previously communicated range of 9% to 12% is due to incremental costs to execute and integrate the Lily's acquisition.
•Full-year adjusted earnings per share are still expected to be in the $6.79 to $6.92 range, unchanged from the previously communicated 8% to 10% increase from $6.29 in fiscal 2020. Increased profit from higher sales is expected to be offset primarily by incremental tax reserves incurred in the second quarter in connection with an adverse ruling in a non-U.S. tax litigation matter, as well as higher supply chain costs associated with servicing higher volume.
The company also expects:
•A reported and adjusted effective tax rate in the range of 17 to 18%,
•Other expense of approximately $120 to $130 million,
•Interest expense of approximately $130 million, and
•Capital expenditures of approximately $550 million, driven by key initiatives including the company's ongoing ERP transformation and supply chain initiatives.
Below is a reconciliation of projected 2021 and full-year 2020 earnings per share-diluted calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share-diluted:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| 2021 (Projected) | | 2020 |
| Reported EPS – Diluted | $6.59 – $6.85 | | $6.11 |
| Derivative Mark-to-Market Losses | — | | 0.03 |
| Business Realignment Activities | 0.07 – 0.20 | | 0.15 |
| Acquisition-Related Costs | 0.04 – 0.06 | | 0.03 |
| Long-Lived Asset Impairment Charges | — | | 0.04 |
| Pension Settlement Charges Relating to Company-Directed Initiatives | — | | 0.02 |

| Other Miscellaneous Benefits | (0.03) | | (0.01) |
| Tax Effect of All Adjustments Reflected Above | (0.02 – 0.04) | | (0.06) |
| Adjusted EPS – Diluted | $6.79 – $6.92 | | $6.29 |
2021 projected earnings per share-diluted, as presented above, does not include the impact of mark-to-market gains and losses on our commodity derivative contracts that will be reflected within corporate unallocated expense in segment results until the related inventory is sold since we are not able to forecast the impact of the market changes.
Second-Quarter 2021 Results
Consolidated net sales were $1,989.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 versus $1,707.3 million in the year ago period, an increase of 16.5%. Robust recovery in away-from-home consumption and in the company's international markets, as well as continued strength in take-home consumption, resulted in volume gains of 14.5 points. Foreign exchange and net price realization each contributed an additional 1.0 point benefit.
Reported gross margin was 46.5% in the second quarter of 2021, compared to 46.4% in the second quarter of 2020, an increase of 10 basis points. This increase was driven by higher derivative mark-to-market commodity gains. Adjusted gross margin was 46.4% in the second quarter of 2021, in line with the prior year period. Volume growth, lower COVID-19 related costs and productivity initiatives offset increased supply chain costs related to servicing elevated demand, higher labor costs and packaging inflation.
Selling, marketing and administrative expenses increased 14.3% in the second quarter of 2021 versus the second quarter of 2020, primarily driven by increases in corporate expenses. Advertising and related consumer marketing expenses increased 9.9% in the second quarter of 2021 versus the same period last year driven by reactivation of key sponsorships in the North America segment along with increased investment in core brands in the International & Other segment. Selling, marketing and administrative expenses, excluding advertising and related consumer marketing, increased 16.6% versus the second quarter of 2020. This increase was driven by higher incentive
compensation accruals and elevated capability investments and medical claims, against lower 2020 levels due to COVID-19.
Second-quarter 2021 reported operating profit of $456.7 million increased 19.1% versus the second quarter of 2020, resulting in an operating profit margin of 23.0%, an increase of 50 basis points. Adjusted operating profit of $459.5 million increased 19.0% versus the second quarter of 2020, resulting in an adjusted operating profit margin of 23.1%, an increase of 50 basis points. The increases in both reported and adjusted operating profit were driven by higher volumes.
The reported effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2021 was 28.0%, an increase of 820 basis points versus the second quarter of 2020. The adjusted effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2021 was 27.4%, an increase of 800 basis points versus the second quarter of 2020. Both the reported and adjusted effective tax rate increases were driven primarily by incremental tax reserves incurred in connection with an adverse ruling in a non-U.S. tax litigation matter, as well as lower tax credits versus the year ago period.
The company’s second-quarter 2021 results, as prepared in accordance with GAAP, included items positively impacting comparability of $2.8 million, or $0.02 per share-diluted. For the second quarter of 2020, items positively impacting comparability totaled $3.8 million, or $0.02 per share-diluted.

The following are comments about segment performance for the second quarter of 2021 versus the year-ago period. See the schedule of supplementary information within this press release for additional information on segment net sales and profit.
North America (U.S. and Canada)
Hershey’s North America segment net sales were $1,779.2 million in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 12.3% versus the same period last year. Volume gains contributed 11.8 points to net sales growth driven by strong recovery in the away-from-home consumption as well as continued elevated at-home consumption. Foreign currency exchange was a 0.7-point benefit. Net price realization and divestitures were each a 0.1 point headwind2.
Total Hershey U.S. retail takeaway, excluding Lily’s, for the twelve-week period ending July 18, 20213 in the expanded multi-outlet combined plus convenience store channels (IRI MULO + C-Stores) increased 6.5% versus the prior-year period. Retail takeaway lagged net sales growth in the second quarter due to strong growth in non-measured channels, as well as increases in retailer and distributor inventory levels. Hershey’s U.S. candy, mint and gum (CMG) retail takeaway increased 6.5%, driven by continued strength in everyday take-home chocolate, along with recovery of certain parts of the portfolio negatively impacted by COVID-19 including instant consumables and refreshment products. Hershey’s chocolate instant consumables and refreshment products increased 5.6% and 26.7%, respectively, as mobility and convenience store trips returned to pre-pandemic levels and social distancing and mask wearing declined as more of the U.S. population became vaccinated. Despite growth across all segments of confection, Hershey’s CMG share declined by approximately 105 basis points in the latest 12 weeks, primarily a result of the company's significant share gains in the year ago period. On a two-year basis, Hershey gained 135 basis points of CMG share in the latest period. Hershey's salty snacks sales increased 25.6% in the last twelve weeks driven by strong velocity gains in both Skinny Pop and Pirate’s Booty. Skinny Pop gained 275 basis points of ready-to-eat popcorn share in the latest period, and 200 basis points of share on a two-year basis. This strength was slightly offset by declines in Hershey's baking and syrup products. Sales of Hershey's baking decreased 17.9% in the latest period, as consumers baked less than the prior year period as mobility increased, though takeaway is still positive on a two-year basis.
Gross margin decreased 50 basis points in the second quarter driven by higher supply chain costs due to both increased demand and inflation, which were partially offset by manufacturing leverage and lower COVID-19 costs versus the prior year period. North America advertising and related consumer marketing expenses increased 8.4% in the second quarter of 2021 versus the same period last year driven by a slight increase in support on core brands and the sponsorship of NCAA March Madness and the Olympics that were canceled in the prior year due to COVID-19. Sales strength was partially offset by gross margin headwinds and increased operating expenses, resulting in a segment income increase of 13.7% to $565.9 million in the second quarter of 2021, compared to $497.6 million in the second quarter of 2020.

3 Includes candy, mint, gum, salty snacks, and grocery items
International and Other
Second-quarter 2021 net sales for Hershey’s International and Other segment increased 70.2% versus the same period last year to $210.2 million. Excluding a 5.7 point benefit from foreign currency exchange rates, constant currency net sales increased 64.5%. Volume and price realization were a 49.5 point and 15.0 point benefit, respectively.
The International and Other segment reported a $42.2 million profit in the second quarter of 2021, reflecting an increase of $46.1 million versus the prior year period. Profit increases were driven by volume gains, net price realization and continued prudent cost management.
Unallocated Corporate Expense
Hershey's unallocated corporate expense in the second quarter of 2021 was $148.6 million, an increase of $41.1 million, or 38.2% versus the same period of 2020. This increase was driven by higher incentive compensation accruals and elevated capability investments and medical claims against deflated 2020 levels due to COVID-19.

Note: In this release, for the second-quarter 2021, Hershey references income measures that are not in accordance with GAAP because they exclude certain items impacting comparability, including gains and losses associated with mark-to-market commodity derivatives, business realignment activities, acquisition-related activities, and other miscellaneous benefits. The company refers to these income measures as "adjusted" or "non-GAAP" financial measures throughout this release. These non-GAAP financial measures are used in evaluating results of operations for internal purposes and are not intended to replace the presentation of financial results in accordance with GAAP. Rather, the company believes exclusion of such items provides additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations.

In the assessment of our results, we review and discuss the following financial metrics that are derived from the reported and non-GAAP financial measures presented above:

(1) Calculated as non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of net sales for each period presented.
(2) Calculated as non-GAAP operating profit as a percentage of net sales for each period presented.
(3) Calculated as non-GAAP provision for income taxes as a percentage of non-GAAP income before taxes (calculated as non-GAAP operating profit minus non-GAAP interest expense, net plus or minus non-GAAP other (income) expense, net).
We present certain percentage changes in net sales on a constant currency basis, which excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange. To present this information for historical periods, current period net sales for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average monthly exchange rates in effect during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, rather than at the actual average monthly exchange rates in effect during the current period of the current fiscal year. As a result, the foreign currency impact is equal to the current year results in local currencies multiplied by the change in average foreign currency exchange rate between the current fiscal period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

Appendix I
Details of the charges included in GAAP results, as summarized in the press release (above), are as follows:
Derivative Mark-to-Market (Gains) Losses: The mark-to-market (gains) losses on commodity derivatives are recorded as unallocated and excluded from adjusted results until such time as the related inventory is sold, at which time the corresponding (gains) losses are reclassified from unallocated to segment income. Since we often purchase commodity contracts to price inventory requirements in future years, we make this adjustment to facilitate the year-over-year comparison of cost of sales on a basis that matches the derivative gains and losses with the underlying economic exposure being hedged for the period.
Business Realignment Activities: We periodically undertake restructuring and cost reduction activities as part of ongoing efforts to enhance long-term profitability. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we commenced the International Optimization Program to streamline resources and investments in select international markets, including the optimization of our China operating model to improve efficiencies and provide a more sustainable and simplified base going forward. During the second quarter of 2021, business realignment charges related primarily to severance expenses and other third-party costs related to this program. During the first quarter of 2017, we commenced the Margin for Growth Program to improve global efficiency and effectiveness, optimize the company’s supply chain, streamline the company’s operating model and reduce administrative expenses to generate long-term savings. During the second quarter of 2020, business realignment charges related primarily to severance expenses and other third-party costs related to this program.
Acquisition-Related Activities: During the second quarter of 2021, we incurred costs to effectuate the Lily's acquisition. During the second quarter of 2020, we recognized a positive adjustment due to divestiture activity, partially offset by costs related to the integration of the 2019 acquisition of ONE Brands, LLC.
Pension Settlement Charges Relating to Company-Directed Initiatives: During the second quarter of 2020, settlement charges in our hourly defined benefit plan were triggered as a result of lump sum withdrawals by employees retiring or leaving the Company under a voluntary separation plan included within our Margin for Growth Program.
Long-Lived Asset Impairment Charges: During the second quarter of 2020, we recorded impairment charges to adjust long-lived asset values associated with our Lotte Shanghai Foods Co., Ltd. ("LSFC") disposal group.
Noncontrolling Interest Share of Business Realignment and Impairment Charges: Certain of the business realignment and impairment charges recorded related to LSFC, a joint venture in which we previously owned a 50% controlling interest. Therefore, we have also adjusted for the portion of these charges included within the income (loss) attributed to the noncontrolling interest.
Other Miscellaneous Benefits: During the second quarter of 2021, we recorded a gain on a receivable previously deemed uncollectible.
Tax Effect of All Adjustments: This line item reflects the aggregate tax effect of all pre-tax adjustments reflected in the preceding line items of the applicable table. The tax effect for each adjustment is determined by calculating the tax impact of the adjustment on the company’s quarterly effective tax rate, unless the nature of the item and/or the tax jurisdiction in which the item has been recorded requires application of a specific tax rate or tax treatment, in which case the tax effect of such item is estimated by applying such specific tax rate or tax treatment.
