LENEXA, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hostess Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ: TWNK) (the “Company”, “we”, “our”) today reported its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
“Our solid momentum continued in the third quarter enabling us to exceed our top and bottom-line expectations. Third quarter sales increased by 10% as strong execution across our retail network and exciting innovation generated meaningful volume growth in both Hostess® and Voortman® branded portfolios. I am proud of the way in which our team is performing in a dynamic and challenging operating environment as productivity initiatives and higher price realization offset rising inflation allowing us to maintain our attractive margin structure,” commented Andy Callahan, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
He continued, “We are raising our full-year net revenue guidance while maintaining our EBITDA and EPS outlook as we continue to invest in our capabilities, advertising and marketing to generate top-tier growth and shareholder value over the long-term.”
Third Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights1
- Net revenue of $288.0 million increased 10.4% from the same period last year, reflecting strong Hostess® and Voortman® branded growth across multiple channels.
- Gross profit increased 8.6% to $99.0 million. On an adjusted basis, gross profit increased 8.9% to $99.3 million, or 34.5% of net revenues, as higher volume, favorable product mix, pricing and productivity offset rising inflation.
- Net income was $26.2 million or $0.19 per diluted share. Adjusted net income increased 14.2% to $28.9 million and resulted in adjusted EPS of $0.21 compared to $0.19 in the prior year period.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased 7.6% to $64.8 million, or 22.5% of net revenue, as higher gross profits were partially offset by higher advertising and marketing spend.
- Cash and cash equivalents were $228.1 million as of September 30, 2021. Net leverage ratio declined to 3.3x driven by improved operating cash flow.
- Raising full year 2021 guidance for net revenue growth to 9.0% - 10.0% and reiterating adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS guidance of $260 million - $268 million and $0.83 - $0.87.
Other Highlights
- Hostess manufacturer point-of-sale (“POS”) increased 13.7% and its share of the Sweet Baked Goods category increased by 179 basis points to 21.6% driven by solid core performance and strong contribution from new product innovation, including Hostess® Baby Bundts and Hostess® Muff'n Stix.
- Voortman® branded POS grew 20.5% reflecting expanded distribution and robust consumer demand.
- Pricing actions taken through third quarter benefited quarterly margins and this positive impact is expected to increase through the fourth quarter.
- Completed cashless settlement of remaining warrants in early November, simplifying the Company's capital structure. Total warrants exercised during the year resulted in the issuance of 10.7 million shares, which is factored into our 139 million average shares outstanding estimate for the full year.
- Repurchased $50 million of shares year-to-date under our previously authorized $100 million share repurchase authorization.

The Company's leverage ratio is net debt (total long-term debt less cash) divided by the trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA. |

The Company provides guidance only on a non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) basis and does not provide a reconciliation of the Company's forward-looking financial expectations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including adjustments that could be made for deferred taxes, remeasurement of the tax receivable agreement, and other non-operating gains or losses reflected in the Company's reconciliation of historic non-GAAP financial measures, the amount of which could be material. Please refer to the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures included in this press release for further information about the use of these measures.
Third Quarter 2021 Compared to Third Quarter 20201
Net revenue was $288.0 million, an increase of 10.4%, or $27.1 million, compared to $260.9 million. Net revenue growth was primarily driven by sweet baked goods net revenue, which increased $24.7 million or 10.6%. This growth was led by gains in the club, dollar, convenience, drug and grocery channels with continued momentum of single-serve products driving favorable product mix. Cookies net revenue of $29.2 million increased 9.0% or $2.4 million due to expanded distribution and strong point of sale growth.
Gross profit was $99.0 million, or 34.4% of net revenue compared to 35.0% in the same period last year. Adjusted gross profit margin of 34.5% declined from 35.0% in the same period last year due to transportation and input cost inflation partially offset by favorable product mix, pricing actions and productivity initiatives. Adjusted gross profit increased 8.9% on higher volume and expanded distribution.
Operating income was $46.6 million. Adjusted operating income of $49.4 million increased 13.3% from the same period last year as higher gross profit was partially offset by higher advertising and marketing spending to support top-line growth.
Adjusted EBITDA of $64.8 million, or 22.5% of adjusted net revenue, increased 7.6% from the same period last year driven by strong Hostess® branded volume and favorable product mix. Depreciation and amortization expense declined $1.7 million to $12.8 million while share-based compensation expense increased $0.5 million to $2.6 million in the quarter.
The Company's effective tax rate was 27.4% compared to 19.3% in the prior year. The prior year period's effective tax rate reflected a $2.3 million non-taxable gain on change in fair value of warrant liabilities. The effective tax rate, excluding discrete items was 26.7% in the current quarter.
Net income was $26.2 million consistent with the prior year period. Adjusted net income of $28.9 million increased 14.2% from the same period last year. Diluted EPS was $0.19. Adjusted EPS was $0.21 compared to $0.19 in the prior year period as higher income was partially offset by higher share dilution from the warrants.
Cash from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $147.6 million compared to $108.0 million for the same period last year. Operating cash flow benefited from increased profitability as well as lapping prior-year costs related to the integration and conversion of Voortman's operations, partially offset by an increase in working capital.

HOSTESS BRANDS, INC.
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Adjusted net revenue, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted EPS collectively referred to as “Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” are commonly used in the Company's industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net revenue, gross profit, operating income, net income, net income attributed to Class A stockholders or earnings per share as indicators of operating performance (as determined in accordance with GAAP). These Non-GAAP Financial Measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company has included these Non-GAAP Financial Measures because it believes the measures provide management and investors with additional information to measure the Company's performance, estimate the Company's value and evaluate the Company's ability to service debt.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures are adjusted to exclude certain items that affect comparability. The adjustments are itemized in the tables below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reason the Company considers them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating adjustments, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments set forth below. The presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or recurring items.
The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude (i) interest expense, net, (ii) depreciation and amortization (iii) income taxes and (iv) share-based compensation, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that the Company does not consider indicative of its ongoing operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP. For example, adjusted EBITDA:
- does not reflect the Company's capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
- does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company's working capital needs;
- does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the Company's debt; and
- does not reflect payments related to income taxes, the tax receivable agreement or distributions to the non-controlling interest to reimburse its tax liability.
