OAK BROOK, Ill., May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (NYSE: THS) today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2025.
"I am grateful to the entire TreeHouse team for its execution this quarter, which resulted in Adjusted EBITDA that exceeded the upper-end of our guidance range," said Steve Oakland, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President. "We restored production capacity at our Brantford frozen griddle facility and implemented plans to drive margin and execution consistent with our focus on profitability and cash flow growth. I continue to believe private brands are well positioned to offer value to our customers and the consumer."
Mr. Oakland continued, "As we look ahead, we are remaining steadfast in the plan I articulated last quarter. We are controlling the controllables and ensuring that we provide best in class service for our retail customers at a time when they need us. These actions have and will enable us to grow profits and cash flow regardless of the environment and position the business for significant operating leverage when our categories return to higher growth rates."
FIRST QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Net Sales - Net sales for the first quarter of 2025 totaled $792.0 million compared to $820.7 million for the same period last year, a decrease of $28.7 million, or 3.5%. The change in net sales from 2024 to 2025 was due to the following:
Three Months | ||
(unaudited) | ||
Margin management | (3.3) % | |
Consumption/other | (2.6) | |
Griddle recall service impacts | (2.4) | |
Volume/mix | (8.3) % | |
Business acquisition | 4.7 | |
Pricing | 1.1 | |
Business exit | (0.4) | |
Product recall returns | (0.3) | |
Foreign currency | (0.3) | |
Total change in net sales | (3.5) % | |
Product recall returns | 0.3 | |
Total change in adjusted net sales(1) | (3.2) % |
The net sales decrease of 3.5% was primarily due to unfavorable volume/mix related to planned margin management actions, broader macroeconomic consumption trends, and service impacts related to the voluntary recall of frozen griddle products. Additionally, the RTD business exit contributed to the decrease. This was partially offset by the acquisition of the private brand tea business, favorable pricing to recover commodity inflation, and distribution gains.
Gross Profit - Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 14.5% in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 13.6% in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 0.9 percentage points. The increase in Gross profit is primarily due to the execution of supply chain savings initiatives, favorable pricing to recover commodity inflation, and a mix benefit from Harris Tea.
Total Operating Expenses - Total operating expenses were $120.7 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $117.2 million in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $3.5 million. The increase is due to increased restructuring costs primarily related to severance expense, which was partially offset by lower freight and commission costs.
Total Other Expense - Total other expense was $38.1 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $10.1 million in the first quarter of 2024, an increase in expense of $28.0 million. This was primarily due to a $24.0 million unfavorable change in non-cash mark-to-market impact from hedging activities, largely driven by interest rate swaps. Additionally, the Company had an increase of $3.7 million in interest expense primarily due to an increase in borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility and a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.6 million during the first quarter of 2025. This was partially offset by a favorable currency exchange rate impact of $3.7 million between the U.S. and Canada.
Income Taxes - Income taxes were recognized at an effective rate of 27.1% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 23.5% recognized in the first quarter of 2024. The change in the Company's effective tax rate is primarily driven by changes in the amounts of executive compensation that is not deductible for tax purposes and the estimated amount of annual pre-tax earnings.
Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA - Net loss for the first quarter of 2025 was $31.8 million, compared to $11.7 million for the same period of the previous year. Adjusted EBITDA1 was $57.5 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $46.0 million in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $11.5 million. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily due to supply chain savings initiatives, favorable pricing to recover commodity inflation, and the accretive impact of the Harris Tea acquisition.
Net Cash Used In Operating Activities - Net cash used in operating activities was $53.5 million in the first three months of 2025 compared to $52.4 million in the first three months of 2024, an increase in cash used of $1.1 million, which was mostly attributable to timing of working capital.
OUTLOOK2
TreeHouse Foods reiterated its previously issued full year 2025 guidance:
- Adjusted net sales in a range of $3.340 billion to $3.400 billion, which represents a decline of approximately 1% to growth of approximately 1% year-over-year driven by:
- Volume/mix, which are expected to decline approximately 1% year-over-year due to:
- Organic volume/mix decline approximately 1%
- Harris Tea volume benefit offset by previously announced decision to exit the Ready-to-drink ("RTD") business and other margin management actions, along with one-time impact of frozen griddle product recall.
- Pricing, which is expected to provide an approximately 1% benefit.
- Volume/mix, which are expected to decline approximately 1% year-over-year due to:
- Adjusted EBITDA is expected in a range of $345 million to $375 million.
- Net interest expense is continued to be expected in the range of $80 to $90 million.
- The Company expects capital expenditures of approximately $125 million.
- The Company expects free cash flow of at least $130 million.
With regard to the second quarter, TreeHouse Foods expects the following:
- Second quarter adjusted net sales are expected in a range of $785 to $800 million, which represents approximately flat growth year-over-year at the mid-point. Organic volume and mix are expected to decline mid-single digits, driven primarily by continued margin management actions and the griddle product recall. Pricing is expected to provide an approximately 1% benefit.
- Second quarter adjusted EBITDA is expected in a range of $61 to $71 million, which reflects the shift of $6 million of spend into Q2 from Q1.
________________________________________________
1 Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net sales, and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. See "Comparison of Non-GAAP Information to GAAP Information" for the definitions of the Non-GAAP measures, information concerning certain items affecting comparability, and reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP measures. |
2 The Company is not able to reconcile prospective adjusted net sales, adjusted EBITDA or free cash flow, which are Non-GAAP financial measures, to the most comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort due to the inherent uncertainty and difficulty of predicting the occurrence, financial impact, and timing of certain items impacting GAAP results. These items include, but are not limited to, mark-to-market adjustments of derivative contracts, foreign currency exchange on the re-measurement of intercompany notes, or other non-recurring events or transactions that may significantly affect reported GAAP results. |
CONFERENCE CALL WEBCAST
A webcast to discuss the Company's first quarter earnings will be held at 8:30 a.m. (Eastern Time) today. The live audio webcast and a supporting slide deck will be available on the Company's website at www.treehousefoods.com/investors/investor-overview/default.aspx.
COMPARISON OF NON-GAAP INFORMATION TO GAAP INFORMATION
The Company has included in this release measures of financial performance that are not defined by GAAP ("Non-GAAP"). A Non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As described further below, the Company believes these measures provide useful information to the users of the financial statements.
For each of these Non-GAAP financial measures, the Company provides a reconciliation between the most directly comparable GAAP measure and the Non-GAAP measure, an explanation of why management believes the Non-GAAP measure provides useful information to financial statement users, and any additional purposes for which management uses the Non-GAAP measure. This Non-GAAP financial information is provided as additional information for the financial statement users and is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP. These Non-GAAP measures may be different from similar measures used by other companies.
EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusting for Certain Items Affecting Comparability
EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of adjusted net sales. EBITDA represents net loss before interest expense, interest income, income tax benefit, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA reflects adjustments to EBITDA to identify items that, in management's judgment, significantly affect the assessment of earnings results between periods. This information is provided in order to allow investors to make meaningful comparisons of the Company's earnings performance between periods and to view the Company's business from the same perspective as Company management. As the Company cannot predict the timing and amount of charges that include, but are not limited to, items such as product recalls and related costs, restructuring programs, acquisition, integration, divestiture, and related costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, foreign currency exchange impact on the re-measurement of intercompany notes, mark-to-market adjustments on derivative contracts, and other items that may arise from time to time that would impact comparability, management does not consider these costs when evaluating the Company's performance, when making decisions regarding the allocation of resources, in determining incentive compensation, or in determining earnings estimates. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are performance measures commonly used by management to assess operating performance and incentive compensation, and the Company believes they are commonly reported and widely used by investors and other interested parties as a measure of a company's operating performance between periods and as a component of our debt covenant calculations.
Adjusted Net Sales, Adjusted Cost of Sales, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Total Operating Expenses, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Total Other Expense, Adjusted Income Tax Expense (Benefit), Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, Adjusting for Certain Items Affecting Comparability
Adjusted net sales, adjusted cost of sales, adjusted gross profit, adjusted total operating expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted total other expense, adjusted income tax expense (benefit), and adjusted net income (loss) represent their respective GAAP presentation line item adjusted for items such as product recalls and related costs, restructuring programs, acquisition, integration, divestiture, and related costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, foreign currency exchange impact on the re-measurement of intercompany notes, mark-to-market adjustments on derivative contracts, and other items that may arise from time to time that would impact comparability. Management does not consider these costs when evaluating the Company's performance, when making decisions regarding the allocation of resources, in determining incentive compensation, or in determining earnings estimates. This information is provided in order to allow investors to make meaningful comparisons of the Company's earnings performance between periods and to view the Company's business from the same perspective as Company management. The Company has presented each of these adjusted Non-GAAP measures as a percentage of adjusted net sales compared to its respective reported GAAP presentation line item as a percentage of net sales. Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share ("Adjusted diluted EPS") is determined by dividing adjusted net income (loss) by the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding. Adjusted diluted EPS reflects adjustments to GAAP earnings (loss) per diluted share to identify items that, in management's judgment, significantly affect the assessment of earnings results between periods.
Given the inherent uncertainty regarding adjusted items in any future period, a reconciliation of forward-looking financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is not feasible.
Free Cash Flow
In addition to measuring our cash flow generation and usage based upon the operating, investing, and financing classifications included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, we also measure free cash flow (a Non-GAAP measure) which represents net cash used in operating activities, less capital expenditures and proceeds from sales of fixed assets. We believes free cash flow is an important measure of liquidity because it provides management and investors a measure of cash generated from operations that is available for mandatory payment obligations and investment opportunities such as funding acquisitions, repaying debt, repurchasing public debt, and repurchasing common stock. A reconciliation between the relevant GAAP measure of cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 calculated according to GAAP and free cash flow is presented in the attached tables.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company entered into transactions that affected the year-over-year comparison of its financial results as follows:
(1) | The Company's derivative contracts are marked-to-market each period. The non-cash unrealized changes in fair value recognized in Other expense (income), net within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are treated as Non-GAAP adjustments. As the contracts are settled, realized gains and losses are recognized, and only the mark-to-market impacts are treated as Non-GAAP adjustments. |
(2) | The Company's restructuring and margin improvement activities are part of an enterprise-wide transformation to improve the long-term profitability of the Company. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company recognized $2.9 million of accelerated depreciation within the Company's restructuring activities as depreciation expense. |
(3) | Griddle Recall and Related Costs On October 18, 2024, the Company initiated a voluntary recall of certain frozen waffle products produced at its Brantford, Ontario, Canada facility, and on October 22, 2024, the Company expanded its voluntary recall to include all products manufactured at the Brantford facility that are still within their shelf-life. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized incremental charges of $5.8 million, which includes $5.5 million for estimated product returns and claims and non-cash inventory write-offs of $0.3 million. Broth Recall and Related Costs On September 22, 2023, the Company initiated a voluntary recall of certain broth products produced at its Cambridge, Maryland facility and has since been executing a turnaround plan to restore the facility operations. As a result of these restoration activities, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred $0.1 million of costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred incremental costs related to the product recall of $6.9 million, which include non-cash plant shutdown charges of $4.4 million, non-cash inventory write-offs of $2.3 million, and other costs, including product returns and logistics, of $0.2 million. |
(4) | During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt, which included a write off of deferred financing costs of $2.6 million in connection with the Credit Agreement refinancing. |
(5) | Acquisition, integration, divestiture, and related costs represents costs associated with completed and potential acquisitions, the related integration of the acquisitions, completed and potential divestitures, and gains or losses on the divestiture of a business. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, $1.9 million was classified in Cost of sales, $0.3 million was classified in General and administrative, and $0.3 million was classified in Net sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, $2.0 million was classified in General and administrative, $1.9 million was classified in Cost of sales, and $0.2 million was classified in Other operating expense, net. |
(6) | The Company has foreign currency denominated intercompany loans and incurred foreign currency gains/losses to re-measure the loans at quarter end. These amounts are non-cash and the loans are eliminated in consolidation. |
The following tables reconcile the Company's Adjusted net sales, Adjusted cost of sales, Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted total operating expenses, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted total other expense, Adjusted income tax expense (benefit), and Adjusted net income (loss) to their most directly comparable GAAP measure, for three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:
