NEW YORK--()--Blue Apron Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: APRN) announced today financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2020.

“Fourth quarter operating results exceeded guidance as we grew net revenue year over year by 22% to $115.5 million. The fourth quarter marks the third consecutive quarter of double-digit year over year increase in net revenue and highlights our continued operating momentum,” said Linda Findley Kozlowski, Blue Apron’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Product innovation remains central to our strategy and initiatives to drive customer attraction and engagement. We introduced more new products in 2020 than in any prior year, including the recent launch of our new recipe customization and additional ways for our customers to get more meals from us each week. Both product introductions were well received by our customers and contributed to growth in key customer metrics such as Orders per Customer and Average Order Value, as well as Average Revenue per Customer, which exceeded $300 for the third consecutive quarter. We continue to support our brand and entire range of offerings with more efficient marketing, which is helping us see faster payback periods on customer acquisition.”

Kozlowski continued, “We expect revenue growth to continue in 2021, as we benefit from the ongoing execution of our growth initiatives focused on driving demand, ongoing fulfillment center efficiency initiatives and capacity improvements. With our improved balance sheet and financial flexibility, we intend to leverage our operating momentum with plans for additional new product innovations this year. Importantly, we plan to offer additional variety, flexibility and choice that we believe will further differentiate Blue Apron while accelerating marketing investment to drive additional customer engagement and retention. We expect this work will result in a year-over-year first quarter net revenue growth of approximately 23% to 27%. In addition, for full year 2021, we expect to see year over year double-digit revenue growth, while we continue to invest to build our foundation to achieve our goal of consistent future annual positive adjusted EBITDA.”

Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Results

  • Net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2020 increased 22% year over year to $115.5 million with continued improvement in Orders per Customer and Average Order Value which reflect, in part, the continued execution of the company’s growth strategy, including through product innovation, as well as changes in consumer behavior due to the pandemic as customers ordered more frequently and added more meals per order. Net revenue increased 3% sequentially quarter over quarter, largely due to higher than normal credits relating to an onion recall in the third quarter compared to lower refunds and credits in the fourth quarter, coupled with expanded product offerings and marketing initiatives in the fourth quarter.
  • Cost of goods sold, excluding depreciation and amortization (COGS), as a percentage of net revenue, improved 40 basis points year over year from 61.0% to 60.6% primarily driven by efficiencies and scale in shipping, fulfillment packaging, and labor costs, partially offset by increased food costs relating to outsourcing certain functions to help increase fulfillment center capacity in response to increased customer demand during the COVID-19 pandemic. COGS improved by 580 basis points as a percentage of net revenue on a sequential basis largely due to decreases across all categories reflecting the expected seasonal trends in the business.
  • Marketing expenses were $12.5 million, or 10.8% as a percentage of net revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $12.1 million, or 12.8% as a percentage of net revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2019 as the company was able to slightly increase its marketing efforts while continuing to balance marketing efforts with fulfillment center capacity.
  • Product, technology, general and administrative (PTG&A) expenses increased 4% year-over year to $36.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 from $35.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 mainly impacted by investments in personnel to support the growth in the business.
  • Net loss was $11.9 million and diluted loss per share was $0.67 in the fourth quarter of 2020, based on 17.8 million weighted-average common shares outstanding, compared to a net loss of $21.9 million and diluted loss per share of $1.66 in the fourth quarter of 2019, based on 13.2 million weighted-average common shares outstanding. Net loss decreased by $3.4 million quarter over quarter from a net loss of $15.3 million in the third quarter of 2020.
  • Adjusted EBITDA improved 80% year-over-year to a loss of $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to a loss of $8.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Sequentially, adjusted EBITDA improved by $3.0 million quarter-over-quarter from a loss of $4.7 million in the third quarter of 2020.

Full Year 2020 Financial Results

  • Net revenue for 2020 increased 1% year over year to $460.6 million from $454.9 million in 2019, primarily due to improvements in key customer metrics such as Orders per Customer and Average Order Value which reflect changes in consumer behavior due to the pandemic as customers ordered more frequently and added more meals per order, as well as the continued execution of the company’s growth strategy which included the launch of more new products in 2020 than in any prior year.
  • Net loss for 2020 was $46.2 million and diluted loss per share was $3.06, based on 15.1 million weighted-average common shares outstanding, compared to net loss of $61.1 million and diluted loss per share of $4.67, based on 13.1 million weighted-average shares outstanding for full year 2019.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for 2020 was a loss of $1.0 million, compared to a loss of $8.4 million for 2019, reflecting the company’s continued focus on expense management and optimization of its cost structure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  • Cash and cash equivalents were $44.1 million as of December 31, 2020.
  • Cash used in operating activities totaled $1.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to cash used of $10.9 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year. The improvement in operating cash flow was driven by expense management and working capital management. Cash used in operating activities totaled $5.4 million in 2020, compared to cash used in operating activities of $16.5 million in the prior year.
  • Capital expenditures totaled $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, representing a reduction of $0.1 million in capital expenditures from the fourth quarter of 2019. Capital expenditures in 2020 totaled $6.0 million, representing an increase of $0.8 million from the prior year.
  • Free cash flow was $(2.5) million for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $(12.2) million in the fourth quarter of the prior year driven by improved operating cash flow and slightly reduced capital expenditures. Free cash flow for 2020 totaled $(11.4) million, representing an improvement of $10.3 million from the prior year.
  • In the fourth quarter of 2020, the company entered into a $35.0 million senior secured term loan that matures in March 2023. The net proceeds of the senior secured term loan, together with cash on hand of approximately $10.3 million, were used to pay off the remaining outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility that was due to mature in August 2021.

Outlook

Blue Apron today provided an outlook for certain first quarter 2021 financial metrics, reflecting certain assumptions regarding the company’s business including the impact of its operational improvements, trends, historical seasonal factors, the continuing impact of COVID-19 on its business (including as a result of changes in consumer behavior), and plans to increase marketing investments. The following guidance assumes that the company will not experience any unforeseen significant disruptions in its fulfillment operations or supply chain as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise. In addition, because the timing of the onion recall recovery remains uncertain, we are not assuming receipt of the up to $2.0 million of credits in our first quarter outlook.

For the first quarter, the company expects net revenue will grow approximately 23% to 27% year over year to approximately $125 million to $129 million. The company also expects a quarterly sequential and year-over-year increase in Customers for the first quarter of 2021. Assuming similar historical seasonal demand and cost trends, the company expects to incur a net loss of no more than $16.0 million and an adjusted EBITDA loss of no more than $6.0 million.

For the full year 2021, Blue Apron expects to generate double-digit net revenue growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on Blue Apron’s Business

Since late March 2020, Blue Apron has experienced increased demand for its meal kits reflecting, in part, changes to consumer behavior in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to meet the increased demand, the company continued to focus on increasing capacity at its fulfillment centers, including hiring new employees, increasing wages for frontline workers, and temporarily reducing menu options, which limits the need to change production lines and allows for more time to pack meal kits. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Blue Apron has experienced hiring and attendance challenges similar to other companies. As a result, the company has, from time to time, closed some weekly offering cycles early and delayed the launch of certain new products. At the same time, the company has implemented a variety of safety measures following federal, state, and local guidelines at its fulfillment centers.

Management continues to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the company’s business, including changes to consumer behavior relating to cooking at home. While the company believes that a portion of the increased demand it has experienced over the last few months can be sustained through the first half of 2021 and potentially beyond, this will likely occur at varying levels as the impact of the pandemic changes over time.

The company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this press release as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, that are not prepared in accordance with, nor an alternative to, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies.

The company defines adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) before interest income (expense), net, other operating expense, other income (expense), net, benefit (provision) for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, adjusted to eliminate share-based compensation expense. The company presents adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by the company’s management and board of directors to understand and evaluate the company’s operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, the company believes that the exclusion of certain items in calculating adjusted EBITDA can produce a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of the company’s business. Further, Blue Apron uses adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its operating performance and trends and make planning decisions, and it believes that adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the items that the company excludes. Accordingly, Blue Apron believes that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of the company’s past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of adjusted EBITDA rather than net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable GAAP equivalent. Some of these limitations are:

  • adjusted EBITDA excludes share-based compensation expense, as share-based compensation expense has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for the company’s business and an important part of its compensation strategy;
  • adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization expense and, although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being depreciated may have to be replaced in the future;
  • adjusted EBITDA excludes other operating expense, as other operating expense represents non-cash impairment charges on long-lived assets, a non-cash gain, net of termination fee, on lease termination, a charge for an estimated legal settlement and restructuring costs;
  • adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest, which reduces cash available to us;
  • adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax payments that reduce cash available to us; and
  • other companies, including companies in the company’s industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

The company defines free cash flow as net cash from (used in) operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. The company presents free cash flow because it is used by the company’s management and board of directors as an indicator of the amount of cash the company generates or uses and to evaluate the company’s ability to satisfy current and future obligations and to fund future business opportunities. Accordingly, Blue Apron believes that free cash flow provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of the company’s ability to satisfy its financial obligations and pursue business opportunities, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to a key financial metric used by its management in its financial and operational decision making.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of free cash flow rather than net cash from (used in) operating activities, which is the most directly comparable GAAP equivalent. Some of these limitations are:

  • free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since the company has certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt repayments or capital lease obligations that are not deducted from the measure; and
  • other companies, including companies in the company’s industry, may calculate free cash flow differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow should be considered together with other financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP is set forth below under the heading “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.
