J&J SNACK FOODS’ FISCAL 2023 FIRST QUARTER REVENUE INCREASES 10.3% TO $351.3M

Pennsauken, NJ, January 30, 2023 - J&J Snack Foods Corp. (NASDAQ: JJSF) (the “Company”) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended December 24, 2022.

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures

section below for reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures.

Dan Fachner, J&J Snack Foods President and CEO, commented, “We are pleased to report the seventh consecutive quarter of double-digit top-line growth and remain confident in our plans to continue growing sales. We are investing in our brands, accelerating cross selling opportunities with our customers and across our channels, expanding our production capacity and building a strong pipeline of product innovation. We have hit the ground running with our Dippin’ Dots business, having already gained placement at Regal Theaters, the second largest movie theater chain in the United States. In fact, we increased unit sales in our Dippin’ Dots business over 14% in the first quarter. Also, we recently launched the Hola! Churros brand and are seeing strong momentum, including over 30% sales growth in the first quarter. This positions us well to grow our churros business, including the introduction of new products and entry into new channels. While our industry experienced some declines in traffic and volume in the first quarter, we are well positioned to manage through these economic challenges, and expect to continue growing our top line.”

“As we make meaningful progress on our strategic priorities and initiatives to improve operating efficiency and effectiveness, ongoing inflationary pressures and the softening consumer environment impacted our year over year bottom-line results. Our actions to improve gross margins helped us deliver 25.9% this quarter versus 24.9% in the prior year period. However, we continue to manage through cost pressures on the expense side, most notably distribution expenses. We expect to see improvement in expenses as we cycle through these high inflationary periods later in the year. Also, Dippin Dots is a very seasonal business and, as expected, negatively impacts our results in the first quarter. This business will drive the majority of its profitability in the second half of the year.”

“More than ever, our teams are focused on effectively managing through these dynamic market conditions while serving our customers and partners. We have taken aggressive measures to offset these various challenges and to position the company for long-term success. In addition to the sales strategies mentioned above, we are focused on improving operational efficiencies and capacity through initiatives like adding seven new, more automated production lines. To date we have opened two new frozen novelty lines and one additional churros line. Over the next six months, we will activate three additional lines focused on expanded pretzel production capacity. Also, we’ve implemented a new ERP system, outsourced our shipping logistics, and are building a more geographically optimized distribution network. In addition, we have now fully implemented various price increases across our portfolio, which we expect will continue to drive improved gross margins.”

“In closing, our momentum remains strong as our core brands and new products continue to resonate with consumers, and we are confident that our strategy is working and that we will see the benefit of our various initiatives through out the balance of fiscal 2023.”

Total Company First Quarter Highlights

Net sales increased 10.3% to $351.3 million in Q1 of fiscal 2023, compared to Q1 of fiscal 2022.

Key highlights include:

Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 25.9% in Q1 ’23, comparing favorably to 24.9% in Q1 ‘22. Key ingredients including flour, oils, eggs, meats, sugar and dairy continue to experience inflationary pressures compared to the same quarter last year, up approximately 20%. Inflation trends are gradually improving for some raw materials since our 2022 fourth quarter, which we expect will benefit margins in future months. Three pricing actions implemented in fiscal 2022 along with improved mix helped to partially offset these headwinds and are expected to provide additional benefits through out the balance of fiscal 2023.

Total operating expenses of $81.5 million represented 23.2% of sales for the quarter, compared to 20.3% in Q1 ’22, reflecting ongoing inflationary pressures across distribution and administrative costs. Distribution costs represented 12.0% of sales in the quarter, versus 10.5% in the prior year period, but improved sequentially compared to Q4 2022. We expect our various strategic and operational initiatives to improve logistics management and increase efficiency across our distribution network and supply chain allowing us to reduce costs and drive significant savings over the coming quarters and years.

Marketing and selling expenses represented 6.7% of sales, versus 6.6% in the prior year period, and 6.4% in Q4’ 22. Administrative expenses were 4.7% of sales in Q1 ’23, compared to 3.3% in Q1 ’22 and 4.3% in Q4’ 22 driven mostly by the expected seasonal impact of Dippin’ Dots.         

Adjusted operating income was $11.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to $14.6 million in the prior year period, with the decrease driven by the ongoing inflationary pressures, somewhat offset by revenue growth across all three of our business segments. This led to net earnings in Q1 ’23 of $6.6 million, compared to $11.1 million in Q1 ’22. Our effective tax rate was 26% in Q1 ’23.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA consists of net earnings adjusted to exclude: income taxes (benefit); investment income; interest expense; depreciation and amortization; share-based compensation expense; COVID-19 related expenses (recoveries); net (gain) loss on sale or disposal of assets; impairment charges, restructuring costs, merger and acquisition costs, acquisition related inventory adjustments, and integration costs.

Adjusted Operating Income consists of operating income adjusted to exclude: COVID-19 related expenses (recoveries); impairment charges, restructuring costs, merger and acquisition costs, acquisition related amortization expenses and inventory adjustments, and integration costs.

Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share consists of net earnings adjusted to exclude: COVID-19 related expenses (recoveries); impairment charges, restructuring costs, merger and acquisition costs, acquisition related amortization expenses and inventory adjustment, and integration costs. For purposes of comparability, the income tax effect of pre-tax adjustments is determined using statutory tax rates.

This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures; Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income, and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share. A "non-GAAP financial measure" is a numerical measure of a company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the statements of income, balance sheets, or statements of cash flow of the company. Pursuant to applicable reporting requirements, the company has provided reconciliations below of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented within the Company's earnings release are not indicators of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to the applicable GAAP measure. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In addition, in evaluating these non-GAAP measures, you should be aware that in the future we may incur income, expenses, gains and losses, similar to the adjustments in this press release. Our presentation of these non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items. We compensate for these limitations by providing equal prominence to our GAAP results and using non-GAAP measures only as supplemental presentations.

The non-GAAP measures presented are utilized by management to evaluate the Company's business performance and profitability by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our recurring core business operating results. The Company believes that these measures provide additional clarity for investors by excluding specific income, expenses, gains and losses, in an effort to show comparable business operating results for the periods presented. Similarly, Management believes these adjusted measures are useful performance measures because certain items included in the calculations may either mask or exaggerate trends in the Company’s ongoing operating performance. See the reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.
