  • Net income increased 2.3% to $44.3 million. Adjusted net income increased 36.3% to $62.4 million.

CEO's Remarks:

"Our record third quarter reflects a favorable operating environment for our branded retail business and our continued focus on achieving our strategic priorities," said Ryals McMullian, Flowers Foods' president and CEO. "The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic persisted in the third quarter, though at more moderate levels than in the second quarter. Our team continues to perform exceptionally well in this unprecedented environment and I am proud of their resiliency as they continue to serve our markets."

"We are capitalizing on the increased frequency of in-home eating, which has driven elevated trial of our market-leading products, by executing on our portfolio strategy and supply chain optimization initiatives," he continued. "We expect the demand environment to continue to moderate, but we believe our focus on product quality, innovation, and marketing will allow us to retain many of these new consumers and drive improved sales growth and margin expansion in support of our long-term growth targets."

McMullian added, "We remain confident in our ability to deliver at least $20 million of cost savings this year and are working tirelessly to drive even more efficiencies. With our organizational restructuring and portfolio and supply chain optimization initiatives, we are becoming a more branded-focused company, which will ultimately boost our ability to drive shareholder value."

For the 53-week Fiscal 2020, the Company Expects:

  • Sales in the range of approximately $4.350 billion to $4.370 billion, representing growth of approximately 5.5% to 6.0%.
  • Diluted EPS in the range of approximately $0.65 to $0.70.
  • Adjusted diluted EPS in the range of approximately $1.23 to $1.28, adjusted for items affecting comparability, representing annual growth of approximately 28.1% to 33.3%.

The company's outlook includes the following assumptions:

  • Portfolio and supply chain optimization benefit in excess of $20 million
  • Depreciation and amortization in the range of $140 million to $145 million
  • Net interest expense of approximately $11 million
  • An effective tax rate of approximately 24.0% to 24.5%
  • Weighted average diluted share count for the year of approximately 212.5 million shares
  • Capital expenditures for the year in the range of $85 million to $95 million

Consolidated Third Quarter Operating Highlights
Compared to the prior year third quarter where applicable

  • Sales increased 2.4% to $989.7 million.
  • Percentage point change in sales attributed to:
    • Pricing/mix: 8.1%, primarily driven by mix
    • Volume: -5.7%
  • Branded retail sales increased $71.2 million or 12.2% to $657.1 million, store branded retail sales decreased $14.4 million or 9.5% to $136.6 million, while non-retail and other sales decreased $33.7 million or 14.7% to $196.0 million.
    • Branded retail sales increased due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, new product introductions, lower promotional activity, and a reduction in product returns.
    • Store branded retail sales decreased primarily due to volume declines as consumer purchasing shifted to branded retail products, partly offset by improved price/mix.
    • Non-retail and other sales declined primarily due to the impact of the pandemic on foodservice customers.
  • Net income increased 2.3% to $44.3 million. Adjusted net income increased 36.3% to $62.4 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 22.4% to $116.4 million, representing 11.8% of sales, a 200-basis point increase.
  • Materials, supplies, labor and other production costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) were 50.3% of sales, a 240-basis point decrease. These costs were lower as a percentage of sales due to positive shifts in mix from non-retail and store branded retail products to branded retail products. Ingredient and packaging costs declined due to the mix shift and lower product returns.
  • Selling, distribution and administrative (SD&A) expenses were 39.1% of sales, a 160-basis point increase. Excluding matters affecting comparability, adjusted SD&A expenses were 38.0% of sales, a 50-basis point increase. Higher employee incentive costs and an increase in distributor distribution fees due to a shift in product mix were the primary drivers of the increased costs. Partially offsetting the higher costs were lower logistics expenses related to the product mix shift, lower fuel costs, and the benefit of supply chain optimization projects.
  • Depreciation and amortization (D&A) expenses were $32.2 million, or 3.2% of sales, a 20-basis point decrease.

Cash Flow, Capital Allocation, and Capital Return
Year-to-date, through the third quarter of fiscal 2020, cash flow from operating activities increased by $86.3 million to $364.4 million, capital expenditures decreased $2.3 million to $68.3 million, and dividends paid increased $5.1 million to $124.9 million. There were no debt borrowings or repayments in the quarter. Cash and cash equivalents were $325.8 million at quarter-end.

There are 6.2 million shares authorized for repurchase under the company's current share repurchase plan. The company expects to continue to make opportunistic share repurchases from time to time under this plan.

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 to its website. The company will host a live question and answer webcast at 8:30 a.m. (Eastern) on November 6, 2020. The pre-recorded remarks and the webcast can be accessed at flowersfoods.com/investors and will be archived on the company's website.

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements contained in this press release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to current expectations regarding our future financial condition, performance and results of operations and the ultimate impact of the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on our business, results of operations and financial condition, planned capital expenditures, long-term objectives of management, supply and demand, pricing trends and market forces, and integration plans and expected benefits of transactions and are often identified by the use of words and phrases such as "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "predict," "project," "should," "will," "would," "is likely to," "is expected to" or "will continue," or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those projected. Other factors that may cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements contained in this release and that may affect the company's prospects in general include, but are not limited to, (a) the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken in response thereto, including, among other things, temporary or ongoing bakery closures, on our business, results of operations and financial condition, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict, (b) general economic and business conditions and the competitive conditions in the baked foods industry, including promotional and price competition, (c) changes in consumer demand for our products, including changes in consumer behavior, trends and preferences, including health and whole grain trends, and the movement toward more inexpensive store-branded products, (d) the success of productivity improvements and new product introductions, (e) a significant reduction in business with any of our major customers including a reduction from adverse developments in any of our customer's business, (f) fluctuations in commodity pricing, (g) energy and raw material costs and availability and hedging and counterparty risk, (h) our ability to fully integrate recent acquisitions into our business, (i) our ability to achieve cash flow from capital expenditures and acquisitions and the availability of new acquisitions that build shareholder value, (j) our ability to successfully implement our business strategies, including those strategies the company has initiated under Project Centennial, which may involve, among other things, the deployment of new systems and technology and an enhanced organizational structure; (k) our ability to integrate recent acquisitions or the acquisition or disposition of assets at presently targeted values, (l) consolidation within the baking industry and related industries, (m) disruptions in our direct-store delivery system, including litigation or an adverse ruling from a court or regulatory or government body that could affect the independent contractor classification of our independent distributors, (n) increasing legal complexity and legal proceedings that we are or may become subject to, (o) product recalls or safety concerns related to our products, and (p) the failure of our information technology systems to perform adequately, including any interruptions, intrusions or security breaches of such systems or risks associated with the planned implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system. The foregoing list of important factors does not include all such factors, nor necessarily present them in order of importance. In addition, you should consult other public disclosures made by the company, including the risk factors included in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and disclosures made in other filings with the SEC and company press releases, for other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by the company. 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.

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 EBIT, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted operating income, adjusted EPS, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted selling, distribution and administrative expenses (SD&A), gross margin excluding depreciation and amortization, free cash flow, and the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA. 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 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The company defines free cash flow as operating cash flow minus capital expenditures. The company believes that free cash flow provides investors a better understanding of the company's liquidity position. 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. EBITDA is used as the primary performance measure in the company's 2014 Omnibus Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan. Furthermore, pursuant to the terms of our credit facility, EBITDA is used to determine the company's compliance with certain financial covenants. 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 EBIT, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted operating income, adjusted EPS, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted SD&A, respectively, excluding the impact of asset impairment charges, Project Centennial consulting costs, lease terminations and legal settlements, acquisition-related costs, and pension plan settlements. Adjusted income tax expense also excludes the impact of tax reform. 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.

The company defines net debt as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt to EBITDA is used as a measure of financial leverage employed by the company. Gross margin excluding depreciation and amortization is used as a performance measure to provide additional transparent information regarding our results of operations on a consolidated and segment basis. Changes in depreciation and amortization are separately discussed and include depreciation and amortization for materials, supplies, labor and other production costs and operating activities.

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 presentation or release to the most comparable GAAP financial measure.
