"The acceleration of Freshpet's second quarter growth rate continues to demonstrate the significant potential of the brand and the potency of our Feed the Growth strategy - enabling us to raise our projection for this year's net sales growth rate to 40%," commented Billy Cyr, Freshpet's Chief Executive Officer. "But we are not immune to the inflation being felt across the industry and are taking the necessary steps to address it - ensuring that our growth converts to the sustainable profitability we expect and enabling the capacity investments needed to change the way more people nourish their pets . . . forever."
Second Quarter 2021
Net sales increased 35.8% to $108.6 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $80.0 million for the second quarter of 2020. Net sales for the second quarter of 2021 were driven by velocity, distribution gains, and innovation.
Gross profit was $43.1 million, or 39.7% as a percentage of net sales, for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $33.9 million, or 42.4% as a percentage of net sales, in the prior year period. For the second quarter of 2021, Adjusted Gross Profit was $50.1 million, or 46.1% as a percentage of net sales, compared to $39.2 million, or 49.1% as a percentage of net sales, in the prior year period. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales and Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to inflation in beef costs, and increased processing costs as we expand our production capacity at Kitchens Bethlehem and Kitchens South. Adjusted Gross Profit is a non-GAAP financial measure defined under “Non-GAAP Measures,” and is reconciled to gross profit in the financial tables that accompany this release.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) was $49.6 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $33.7 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A increased to 45.6% for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 42.1% in the prior year period. Adjusted SG&A for the second quarter of 2021 was $39.3 million, or 36.1% as a percentage of net sales, compared to $28.1 million, or 35.1% as a percentage of net sales, in the prior year period. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of net sales and Adjusted SG&A as a percentage of net sales was a result of increased logistics costs as a percentage of net sales, offset by general and administrative expense leverage due to higher net sales. Adjusted SG&A is a non-GAAP financial measure defined under “Non-GAAP Measures,” and is reconciled to SG&A in the financial tables that accompany this release.
Net loss was $7.5 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to net income of $0.2 million for the prior year period. The increase in net loss was due to increased SG&A, partially offset by higher net sales and increased gross profit.
Adjusted EBITDA was $10.9 million, or 10.0% as a percentage of net sales, for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $11.2 million, or 14.0% as a percentage of net sales, in the prior year period. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was a result of increased Adjusted SG&A expense, partially offset by higher net sales and Adjusted Gross Profit. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined under “Non-GAAP Measures,” and is reconciled to net loss in the financial tables that accompany this release.
1 Adjusted EBITDA, as well as certain other measures in this release, is a non-GAAP financial measure. See "Non-GAAP Measures" for how we define these measures and the financial tables that accompany this release for reconciliations of these measures to the closest comparable GAAP measures.
First Six Months of 2021
Net sales increased 34.6% to $202.0 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to $150.1 million in the prior year period. Net sales for the first six months of 2021 were driven by velocity, distribution gains, and innovation.
Gross profit was $79.4 million, or 39.3% as a percentage of net sales, for the first six months of 2021, compared to $65.7 million, or 43.8% as a percentage of net sales, in the prior year period. For the first six months of 2021, Adjusted Gross Profit was $93.7 million, or 46.4% as a percentage of net sales, compared to $73.9 million, or 49.3% as a percentage of net sales, in the prior year period. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales and Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to inflation in beef costs, and increased processing costs and write-offs as we expand our production capacity at Kitchens Bethlehem and Kitchens South. Adjusted Gross Profit is a non-GAAP financial measure defined under "Non-GAAP Measures," and is reconciled to gross profit in the financial tables that accompany this release.
SG&A expenses were $95.6 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to $68.4 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A increased to 47.3% for the first six months of 2021 compared to 45.6% in the prior year period. Adjusted SG&A for the first six months of 2021 was $75.1 million, or 37.2% as a percentage of net sales, compared to $57.0 million, or 38.0% as a percentage of net sales, in the prior year period. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of net sales was a result of increased logistics costs and non-cash share-based compensation as a percentage of net sales, offset by general and administrative expense leverage due to higher net sales and decreased media spend as a percentage of net sales. The decrease in Adjusted SG&A as a percentage of net sales was a result of general and administrative expense leverage on higher net sales and decreased media spend as a percentage of net sales, offset by increased logistics costs as a percentage of net sales. Adjusted SG&A is a non-GAAP financial measure defined under "Non-GAAP Measures," and is reconciled to SG&A in the financial tables that accompany this release.
Net loss was $18.4 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to a net loss of $3.4 million for the prior year period. The increase in net loss was due to increased SG&A, partially offset by higher net sales and increased gross profit.

The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was a result of increased Adjusted Gross Profit, partially offset by increased Adjusted SG&A expense. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined under "Non-GAAP Measures," and is reconciled to net loss in the financial tables that accompany this release.
Balance Sheet
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $280.3 million with no debt outstanding.
Outlook
For full year 2021, the Company updated its net sales guidance. The Company expects the following results:
|
● |
To exceed net sales of $445.0 million, an increase of ~ 40% from 2020, from previous guidance of > $430 million |
|
● |
To exceed Adjusted EBITDA of $61.0 million, an increase greater than 30% from 2020, unchanged from previous guidance |
The Company does not provide guidance for the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income, and similarly cannot provide a reconciliation between its forecasted adjusted EBITDA and net income metrics without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for certain components of net income and the respective reconciliations, including the timing of and amount of costs of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses. These items are not within the Company’s control and may vary greatly between periods and could significantly impact future financial results.

Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in this release constitute “forward-looking” statements. These statements are based on management's current opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results. These forward-looking statements, including our updated guidance, are only predictions, not historical fact, and involve certain risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions. Actual results, levels of activity, performance, achievements and events could differ materially from those stated, anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements. While Freshpet believes that its assumptions are reasonable, it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible to anticipate all factors that could affect actual results. There are several risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements made herein including, most prominently, the risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K and its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this release. Freshpet undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement because of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be made that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Freshpet uses the following non-GAAP financial measures in its financial communications. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplements to the GAAP reported measures, should not be considered replacements for, or superior to, the GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies.

Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures are meaningful to investors because they provide a view of the Company with respect to ongoing operating results. The non-GAAP financial measures are shown as supplemental disclosures in this release because they are widely used by the investment community for analysis and comparative evaluation. They also provide additional metrics to evaluate the Company’s operations and, when considered with both the Company’s GAAP results and the reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measures, provide a more complete understanding of the Company’s business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. The non-GAAP measures are not and should not be considered an alternative to the most comparable GAAP measures or any other figure calculated in accordance with GAAP, or as an indicator of operating performance. The Company’s calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from methods used by other companies. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures are important to an understanding of the Company's overall operating results in the periods presented. The non-GAAP financial measures are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance.
