Vital Farms Reports Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

 

Third Quarter Net Revenue a Record $92.0 million, up 42.4% versus Prior Year

Reaffirms Fiscal Year 2022 Outlook

 

 

AUSTIN, TX – November 3, 2022 Vital Farms (Nasdaq: VITL), a Certified B Corporation that offers a range of ethically produced foods nationwide, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 25, 2022.

 

Financial highlights for the third quarter include:

 

Third Quarter 2022 Net Revenue increase of 42.4% to $92.0 million
Third Quarter 2022 Net Income of $0.7 million
Third Quarter 2022 Adjusted EBITDA of $5.2 million1

 

“Vital Farms continues to challenge food system norms and deliver strong results,” said Russell Diez-Canseco, Vital Farms’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our brand has maintained its positive momentum, as exemplified by 28% year-over-year volume growth during our third quarter, outpacing the category, which declined 0.5%.2 Our company produced both sequential and year-over-year gross margin improvement, and Adjusted EBITDA improved by $5 million relative to the same period last year. This performance occurred during the most inflationary grocery environment in over 40 years. Additionally, Vital Farms added further retail distribution this quarter, and our household penetration was up over 40% compared to the same period last year to nearly 8 million homes."

 

Diez-Canseco continued, "Our crew members continue to operate at a high level despite a challenging operating environment and cost increases across various inputs, including organic feed and packaging. I also want to recognize our farmers’ tremendous passion and resilience. They have dealt with a range of external factors, including keeping the girls safe from avian influenza and higher costs of doing business across their daily operations. Without their outstanding efforts, none of our success would be possible.”

 

1 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined in the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below and is reconciled to net income, its closest comparable GAAP measure, at the end of this release.

2 Source: SPINS 52 Weeks Ended 9/25/2022

 

For the 13 Weeks Ended September 25, 2022

 

Net revenue increased 42.4% to $92.0 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $64.6 million in the third quarter of 2021. Growth in net revenue in the third quarter of 2022 was primarily due to continued growth in egg-related sales, driven by volume growth of 28% and pricing increases at our customers, as well as distribution gains at both new and existing retail partners.

 

Gross profit was $29.5 million, or 32.0% of net revenue, in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $19.8 million, or 30.7% of net revenue, in the prior year quarter. The change in gross profit was driven by higher sales. The change in gross margin was due to increased pricing across our entire portfolio despite facing some headwinds, including higher costs in both eggs and butter and elevated packaging costs.

 

Income from operations in the third quarter of 2022 was $2.0 million, compared to a loss from operations of $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2021. The change in income from operations was primarily attributable to higher sales and gross profit, offset by increased employee-related expenses as we grew headcount to support our growth and higher marketing costs.

 

Net income was $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to a net loss of $1.3 million in the prior year quarter.

 

 


 

Net income per diluted share was $0.02 for the third quarter of 2022, compared to net loss per diluted share of $0.03 in the prior year quarter.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $5.2 million, or 5.7% of net revenue, in the third quarter of 2022, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $0.2 million, or 0.3% of net revenue, in the third quarter of 2021. The change in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher sales and improved gross profit performance in the face of a higher input cost environment, offset by increased employee-related expenses and higher marketing spend. Our Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain non-cash items. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined in the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below and is reconciled to net income, its closest comparable GAAP measure, at the end of this release.

 

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

 

Cash and cash equivalents and investment securities were $86.9 million as of September 25, 2022, and we had no outstanding debt. Net cash used in operating activities was $3.4 million for the 39 weeks ended September 25, 2022, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $13.3 million for the 39 weeks ended September 26, 2021.

 

Capital expenditures totaled $6.9 million in the 39 weeks ended September 25, 2022, compared to $14.2 million in the prior year period.

 

Update on Fiscal 2022 Outlook

 

Bo Meissner, Vital Farms’ Chief Financial Officer, commented: “We remain pleased with our revenue performance and ongoing demand for our products. We continue to focus on operational execution despite the challenging environment to maintain progress toward our long-term goal of low double-digit Adjusted EBITDA Margin.”

 

For the full fiscal year 2022, management is reaffirming its guidance for net revenue of more than $340 million, a projected increase of 30% compared to fiscal year 2021.

 

Management is also reaffirming its guidance for Adjusted EBITDA of more than $13 million for the full fiscal year 2022, an increase of 62% compared to fiscal year 2021.

 

Vital Farms’ guidance continues to assume that there are no additional significant disruptions to the supply chain or its customers or consumers, including any issues from adverse macroeconomic factors. Vital Farms cannot provide a reconciliation between its forecasted Adjusted EBITDA and net income, its most directly comparable GAAP measure, without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for income taxes, among other items. These items are not within our control and may vary greatly between periods and could significantly impact future financial results.

 

Conference Call and Webcast Details

 

Vital Farms will host a conference call and webcast at 8:30 a.m. ET today to discuss the results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, provides investors with additional useful information in evaluating our performance.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, when taken together with our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance and facilitates

 


 

internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations or outlook. In particular, we believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA is helpful to our investors as it is a measure used by management in assessing the health of our business, determining incentive compensation and evaluating our operating performance, as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes.

 

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income, adjusted to exclude: (1) depreciation and amortization; (2) (benefit) or provision for income taxes as applicable; (3) stock-based compensation expense; (4) interest expense; (5) change in fair value of contingent consideration; (6) interest income; (7) the costs related to our exit of the convenient breakfast product line; and (8) the costs related to the dissolution of the Ovabrite, Inc. variable interest entity. We believe the costs directly related to the convenient breakfast exit and dissolution of Ovabrite, Inc. should be excluded as they are unlikely to recur.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA include that (1) it does not properly reflect capital commitments to be paid in the future, (2) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect these capital expenditures, (3) it does not consider the impact of stock-based compensation expense, (4) it does not reflect other non-operating expenses, including interest expense, (5) it does not consider the impact of any contingent consideration liability valuation adjustments and (6) it does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us. In addition, our use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, when evaluating our performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial measures, including our net income and other results stated in accordance with GAAP.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP, for the 13-week and 39-week periods presented:
