Looking ahead, we will continue to execute on our strategy and make investments in our key growth platforms to ensure consistent top- and bottom-line growth, continuing to position us well to deliver long-term shareholder value."
SECOND QUARTER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
Three Months Ended October 31,
2022
2021
% Increase (Decrease)
(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share data)
Net sales increased 8 percent. Excluding noncomparable net sales in the prior year of $65.0 million from the divested natural beverage and grains and private label dry pet food businesses, as well as $7.0 million of unfavorable foreign currency exchange, net sales increased $227.1 million, or 11 percent.
The increase in comparable net sales was primarily driven by a 17 percentage point increase from net price realization, primarily reflecting list price increases for each of the Company's U.S. Retail segments and for International and Away from Home, partially offset by a 6 percentage point decrease from volume/mix primarily driven by the U.S. Retail Coffee segment.
Operating Income
Gross profit decreased $10.4 million, or 1 percent. The decrease reflects a reduced contribution from volume/mix and the noncomparable impact of the divested natural beverage and grains businesses, partially offset by a favorable net impact of higher net price realization and increased commodity and ingredient, manufacturing, transportation, and packaging costs, inclusive of costs related to a voluntary recall of Jif® peanut butter products in May 2022. Operating income decreased $18.4 million, or 6 percent, primarily reflecting the decrease in gross profit and a $6.6 million increase in selling, distribution, and administrative ("SD&A") expenses.
Adjusted gross profit increased $0.1 million. The difference between adjusted gross profit and generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") results reflects the exclusion of the change in net cumulative unallocated derivative gains and losses and special project costs. Adjusted operating income, which further reflects the exclusion of amortization and other special project costs as compared to GAAP operating income, decreased $8.3 million, or 2 percent.
Interest Expense and Income Taxes
Net interest expense decreased $0.6 million, primarily due to the net favorable impact of debt repayments and issuances in the prior fiscal year.
The effective income tax rate was 24.4 percent compared to 23.4 percent in the prior year, reflecting a higher state income tax rate in the current year. The adjusted effective income tax rate was 24.4 percent, compared to 23.5 percent in the prior year.
Cash Flow and Debt
Cash provided by operating activities was $205.0 million, compared to $165.1 million in the prior year, primarily reflecting lower cash required to fund working capital. Free cash flow was $102.9 million, compared to $105.9 million in the prior year, as a $42.9 million increase in capital expenditures offset the increase in cash provided by operating activities. Net debt repayments in the quarter totaled $88.8 million.

Ongoing cost inflation, volatility in supply chains and the overall macroeconomic environment continue to impact financial results and cause uncertainty and risk for the fiscal year 2023 outlook. Any manufacturing or supply chain disruption, as well as changes in consumer purchasing behavior, including the potential impact to volume due to recent price increases, retailer inventory levels, and broader macroeconomic conditions, could materially impact actual results. In particular, the Jif® peanut butter product recall will impact our financial results for the fiscal year. The Company continues to focus on managing the elements it can control, including taking the necessary steps to minimize the impact of cost inflation, the product recall, and any potential business disruption. This guidance reflects performance expectations based on the Company's current understanding of the overall environment, inclusive of the estimated unfavorable impact of the product recall.
Net sales are expected to increase 5.5 to 6.5 percent compared to the prior year. Excluding noncomparable net sales in the prior year for the divested private label dry pet food and natural beverage and grains businesses, net sales are expected to increase approximately 8.0 percent at the mid-point of the guidance range. This reflects higher net pricing to recover cost inflation across multiple categories, partially offset by the anticipated volume/mix impact of price elasticity of demand, and an estimated 2 percent unfavorable impact related to manufacturing downtime and customer returns and fees from the Jif® peanut butter product recall.
Adjusted earnings per share is expected to range from $8.35 to $8.75, including an estimated $0.80 unfavorable impact related to the Jif® peanut butter product recall. This range reflects the benefits of higher net pricing actions and shares repurchased in the prior fiscal year being more than offset by cost inflation, the anticipated volume/mix impact of price elasticity of demand, the unfavorable impact of the Jif® peanut butter product recall, and increased SD&A expenses. This guidance assumes an adjusted gross profit margin of 33.5 percent, an adjusted effective income tax rate of 24.1 percent, and 106.9 million common shares outstanding. Free cash flow is expected to be approximately $550 million, inclusive of the estimated unfavorable impact related to the Jif® peanut butter product recall, with capital expenditures of $550 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, including: net sales excluding divestitures and foreign currency exchange; adjusted gross profit; adjusted operating income; adjusted income; adjusted earnings per share; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and impairment charges related to intangible assets (“EBITDA (as adjusted)”); and free cash flow, as key measures for purposes of evaluating performance internally. The Company believes that investors’ understanding of its performance is enhanced by disclosing these performance measures. Furthermore, these non-GAAP financial measures are used by management in preparation of the annual budget and for the monthly analyses of its operating results. The Board of Directors also utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures as components for measuring performance for incentive compensation purposes.
Non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain items affecting comparability that can significantly affect the year-over-year assessment of operating results, which include amortization expense and impairment charges related to intangible assets; certain divestiture, acquisition, integration, and restructuring costs (“special project costs”); gains and losses on divestitures; the net change in cumulative unallocated gains and losses on commodity and foreign currency exchange derivative activities (“change in net cumulative unallocated derivative gains and losses”); and other one-time items that do not directly reflect ongoing operating results. Income taxes, as adjusted is calculated using an adjusted effective income tax rate that is applied to adjusted income before income taxes and reflects the exclusion of the previously discussed items, as well as any adjustments for one-time tax-related activities, when they occur. While this adjusted effective income tax rate does not generally differ materially from the GAAP effective income tax rate, certain exclusions from non-GAAP results can significantly impact the adjusted effective income tax rate.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace the presentation of financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Rather, the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures supplements other metrics used by management to internally evaluate its businesses and facilitate the comparison of past and present operations and liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies and may exclude certain nondiscretionary expenses and cash payments. A reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measure for the current and prior year periods is included in the “Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures” tables. The Company has also provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures for its fiscal 2023 outlook.

(A) We are unable to project derivative gains and losses on a forward-looking basis as these will vary each quarter based on market conditions and derivative positions taken. The change in unallocated derivative gains and losses in the table above reflects the net impact of the gains and losses that have been recognized in our GAAP results and excluded from non-GAAP results as of October 31, 2022, adjusted for the gains and losses expected to be allocated to non-GAAP results for the year ended April 30, 2023.
