Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2025

Net sales for the second quarter of 2025 decreased $20.2 million, or 4.5%, to $424.4 million from $444.6 million for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in volume, a decrease in net pricing and the impact of product mix, and the negative impact of foreign currency.

Base business net sales for the second quarter of 2025 decreased $18.7 million, or 4.2%, to $422.6 million from $441.3 million for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in base business net sales was driven by a decrease in volume of $14.3 million, or 3.2% of base business net sales, a decrease in net pricing and the impact of product mix of $4.0 million, or 0.9% of base business net sales, and the negative impact of foreign currency of $0.4 million.

Gross profit was $87.0 million for the second quarter of 2025, or 20.5% of net sales. Adjusted gross profit⁽¹⁾, which excludes the negative impact of $2.1 million of acquisition/divestiture-related expenses and non-recurring expenses included in cost of goods sold during the second quarter of 2025, was $89.1 million, or 21.0% of net sales. Gross profit was $92.0 million for the second quarter of 2024, or 20.7% of net sales. Adjusted gross profit, which excludes the negative impact of $1.2 million of acquisition/divestiture-related expenses and non‑recurring expenses included in cost of goods sold during the second quarter of 2024, was $93.2 million, or 21.0% of net sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4.1 million, or 9.4%, to $47.2 million for the second quarter of 2025 from $43.1 million for the second quarter of 2024. The increase was composed of increases in consumer marketing expenses of $2.2 million and acquisition/divestiture‑related and non-recurring expenses of $2.8 million, partially offset by decreases in warehousing expenses of $0.8 million and selling expenses of $0.1 million. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 1.4 percentage points to 11.1% for the second quarter of 2025, as compared to 9.7% for the second quarter of 2024.

Net interest expense decreased $2.0 million, or 5.4%, to $35.8 million for the second quarter of 2025 from $37.8 million for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a gain on extinguishment of debt during the second quarter of 2025 as a result of the Company's repurchase of $20.7 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.25% senior notes due 2027 in open market purchases for $18.6 million, an average discount repurchase price of 89.98% of such principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, which resulted in a pre‑tax gain of $2.1 million, partially offset by the accelerated amortization of deferred debt financing costs of $0.3 million.

The Company had a net loss of $9.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025, compared to net income of $3.9 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024. The decreases in net income and diluted earnings per share to a net loss and diluted loss per share were primarily attributable to a loss on sale of the Don Pepino and Sclafani brands of $12.6 million recognized during the second quarter of 2025 and a reduction in base business net sales for the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024.

The Company's adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2025 was $2.9 million, or $0.04 per adjusted diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $6.6 million, or $0.08 per adjusted diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024.

For the second quarter of 2025, adjusted EBITDA was $58.0 million, a decrease of $5.9 million, or 9.3%, compared to $63.9 million for the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales was 13.7% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 14.4% for the second quarter of 2024.

Net sales for the first two quarters of 2025 decreased $70.0 million, or 7.6%, to $849.8 million from $919.8 million for the first two quarters of 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in volume, a decrease in net pricing and the impact of product mix, and the negative impact of foreign currency.

Base business net sales for the first two quarters of 2025 decreased $68.1 million, or 7.5%, to $844.6 million from $912.7 million for the first two quarters of 2024. The decrease in base business net sales was driven by a decrease in volume of $56.2 million, or 6.2% of base business net sales, a decrease in net pricing and the impact of product mix of $9.5 million, or 1.0% of base business net sales, and the negative impact of foreign currency of $2.4 million.

Gross profit was $177.1 million for the first two quarters of 2025, or 20.8% of net sales. Adjusted gross profit⁽¹⁾, which excludes the negative impact of $2.6 million of acquisition/divestiture-related expenses and non-recurring expenses included in cost of goods sold during the first two quarters of 2025, was $179.7 million, or 21.1% of net sales. Gross profit was $200.9 million for the first two quarters of 2024, or 21.8% of net sales. Adjusted gross profit, which excludes the negative impact of $2.2 million of acquisition/divestiture-related expenses and non-recurring expenses included in cost of goods sold during the first two quarters of 2024, was $203.1 million, or 22.1% of net sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4.6 million, or 5.0%, to $96.3 million for the first two quarters of 2025 from $91.7 million for the first two quarters of 2024. The increase was composed of increases in acquisition/divestiture‑related and non‑recurring expenses of $6.9 million and general and administrative expenses of $0.6 million, partially offset by decreases in selling expenses of $1.0 million, consumer marketing expenses of $1.0 million, and warehousing expenses of $0.9 million. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 1.3 percentage points to 11.3% for the first two quarters of 2025, as compared to 10.0% for the first two quarters of 2024.

Net interest expense decreased $2.1 million, or 2.8%, to $73.5 million for the first two quarters of 2025 from $75.6 million for the first two quarters of 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a gain on extinguishment of debt during the second quarter of 2025 as a result of the Company's repurchase of $20.7 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.25% senior notes due 2027 in open market purchases for $18.6 million, an average discount repurchase price of 89.98% of such principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, which resulted in a pre‑tax gain of $2.1 million, partially offset by the accelerated amortization of deferred debt financing costs of $0.3 million.

The Company had a net loss of $8.9 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the first two quarters of 2025, compared to a net loss of $36.3 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the first two quarters of 2024. The Company's net loss for the first two quarters of 2024 was primarily attributable to the pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $70.6 million recorded during the first quarter of 2024 for the impairment of goodwill within the Company's Frozen & Vegetables reporting unit. The Company's net loss for the first two quarters of 2025 was primarily attributable to the $12.6 million loss on sale of the Don Pepino and Sclafani brands recognized during the second quarter of 2025.

The Company's adjusted net income for the first two quarters of 2025 was $6.3 million, or $0.08 per adjusted diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $21.0 million, or $0.27 per adjusted diluted share, for the first two quarters of 2024. The reduction in adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share in the first two quarters of 2025 was primarily attributable to the reduction in net sales.

For the first two quarters of 2025, adjusted EBITDA was $117.1 million, a decrease of $21.9 million, or 15.7%, compared to $139.0 million for the first two quarters of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales was 13.8% for the first two quarters of 2025, compared to 15.1% for the first two quarters of 2024.

Full Year Fiscal 2025 Guidance

B&G Foods revised its net sales guidance for fiscal 2025 to a range of $1.83 billion to $1.88 billion, revised its adjusted EBITDA to a range of $273.0 million to $283.0 million, and revised its adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance to a range of $0.50 to $0.60.

Given the uncertainty in the political economic environment and rapidly evolving negotiations regarding tariffs and retaliatory tariffs, the Company's guidance does not reflect the potential impacts of recently imposed and threatened tariffs by the U.S. and retaliatory actions taken or threatened by other countries in response, or the potential for additional tariffs, trade barriers or retaliatory actions by the U.S. or other countries.

B&G Foods provides earnings guidance only on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide a reconciliation of the Company's forward-looking adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments that could be made for deferred taxes; acquisition/divestiture-related expenses, gains and losses (which may include third-party fees and expenses, integration, restructuring and consolidation expenses, amortization of acquired inventory fair value step-up and gains and losses on the sale of certain assets); gains and losses on extinguishment of debt; impairment of assets held for sale; impairment of intangible assets; non-recurring expenses, gains and losses; and other charges reflected in the Company's reconciliation of historic non-GAAP financial measures, the amounts of which, based on past experience, could be material. For additional information regarding B&G Foods' non-GAAP financial measures, see "About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Items Affecting Comparability" below.

Conference Call

B&G Foods will hold a conference call at 4:30 p.m. ET today, August 4, 2025 to discuss second quarter 2025 financial results. The live audio webcast of the conference call can be accessed at www.bgfoods.com/investor-relations. A replay of the webcast will be available following the conference call through the same link.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Items Affecting Comparability

"Adjusted net income" (net income (loss) adjusted for certain items that affect comparability), "adjusted diluted earnings per share" (diluted earnings (loss) per share adjusted for certain items that affect comparability), "base business net sales" (net sales without the impact of acquisitions until the acquisitions are included in both comparable periods and without the impact of discontinued or divested brands), "EBITDA" (net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization), "adjusted EBITDA" (EBITDA as adjusted for cash and non-cash acquisition/divestiture-related expenses, gains and losses (which may include third-party fees and expenses, integration, restructuring and consolidation expenses, amortization of acquired inventory fair value step-up and gains and losses on the sale of certain assets), gains and losses on extinguishment of debt, impairment of assets held for sale, impairment of intangible assets, and non-recurring expenses, gains and losses), "segment adjusted EBITDA" (segment net sales less segment adjusted expenses), "segment adjusted expenses" (primarily includes cost of goods sold and other expenses incurred by the Company's business segments to run day-to-day operations, excluding unallocated corporate items, depreciation and amortization, acquisition/divestiture-related and non-recurring expenses, impairment of intangible assets, goodwill and assets held for sale, gains and losses on sales of assets, interest expense, and income tax expense or benefit), "adjusted gross profit" (gross profit adjusted for acquisition/divestiture-related expenses and non-recurring expenses included in cost of goods sold) and "adjusted gross profit percentage" (gross profit as a percentage of net sales adjusted for acquisition/divestiture-related expenses and non-recurring expenses included in cost of goods sold) are "non-GAAP financial measures." 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) in B&G Foods' consolidated balance sheets and related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures to adjust for certain items that affect comparability. This information is provided in order to allow investors to make meaningful comparisons of the Company's operating performance between periods and to view the Company's business from the same perspective as the Company's management. Because the Company cannot predict the timing and amount of these items that affect comparability, management does not consider these items when evaluating the Company's performance or when making decisions regarding allocation of resources.

Additional information regarding EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, segment adjusted EBITDA and reconciliations of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income and, in the case of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, to net cash provided by operating activities, is included below for the second quarter and first two quarters of 2025 and 2024, along with the components of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA. Also included below are reconciliations of the non-GAAP terms adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share and base business net sales to the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company's consolidated balance sheets and related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows.

End Notes

(1)	Please see "About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Items Affecting Comparability" above for the definition of the non-GAAP financial measures "base business net sales," "adjusted diluted earnings per share," "adjusted net income ," "EBITDA," "adjusted EBITDA," "segment adjusted EBITDA," "segment adjusted expenses," "adjusted gross profit" and "adjusted gross profit percentage," as well as information concerning certain items affecting comparability and reconciliations of the non-GAAP terms to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

(2)	Segment net sales, segment adjusted expenses and segment adjusted EBITDA are the primary measures used by the Company's chief operating decision maker (CODM) to evaluate segment operating performance and to decide how to allocate resources to segments. The Company's CODM is the Company's chief executive officer. Segment adjusted expenses and segment adjusted EBITDA exclude unallocated corporate items, depreciation and amortization, acquisition/divestiture-related and non-recurring expenses, impairment of intangible assets, gains and losses on sales of assets, interest expense, and income tax expense or benefit. Unallocated corporate items consist of centrally managed corporate functions, including selling, marketing, procurement, centralized administrative functions, insurance, and other similar expenses not directly tied to segment operating performance. Depreciation and amortization expenses are neither maintained nor available by business segment, as the Company's manufacturing, warehouse, and distribution activities are centrally managed. These items that are centrally managed at the corporate level, and therefore excluded from the measures of segment adjusted expenses and segment adjusted EBITDA, are reviewed by the CODM. Expenses that are managed centrally but can be attributed to a segment, such as warehousing and transportation expenses, are generally allocated to segments based on net sales.

________________________
(1)	EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures used by management to measure operating performance. A non‑GAAP financial measure is defined as a numerical measure of the Company's financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company's consolidated balance sheets and related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows. The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for cash and non‑cash acquisition/divestiture‑related expenses, gains and losses (which may include third-party fees and expenses, integration, restructuring and consolidation expenses, amortization of acquired inventory fair value step-up, and gains and losses on the sale of certain assets); gains and losses on extinguishment of debt; impairment of assets held for sale; impairment of intangible assets; and non-recurring expenses, gains and losses.

	Management believes that it is useful to eliminate these items because it allows management to focus on what it deems to be a more reliable indicator of ongoing operating performance and the Company's ability to generate cash flow from operations. The Company uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in the Company's business operations to, among other things, evaluate the Company's operating performance, develop budgets and measure the Company's performance against those budgets, determine employee bonuses and evaluate the Company's cash flows in terms of cash needs. The Company also presents EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because the Company believes they are useful indicators of the Company's historical debt capacity and ability to service debt and because covenants in the Company's credit agreement, the Company's senior secured notes indenture and the Company's senior notes indenture contain ratios based on these measures. As a result, reports used by internal management during monthly operating reviews feature the EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA metrics. However, management uses these metrics in conjunction with traditional GAAP operating performance and liquidity measures as part of its overall assessment of company performance and liquidity, and therefore does not place undue reliance on these measures as its only measures of operating performance and liquidity.

	EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to operating income (loss), net income (loss) or any other GAAP measure as an indicator of operating performance. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not complete net cash flow measures because EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are measures of liquidity that do not include reductions for cash payments for an entity's obligation to service its debt, fund its working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions and pay its income taxes and dividends. Rather, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are potential indicators of an entity's ability to fund these cash requirements. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not complete measures of an entity's profitability because they do not include certain costs and expenses and gains and losses described above. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. However, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA can still be useful in evaluating the Company's performance against the Company's peer companies because management believes these measures provide users with valuable insight into key components of GAAP amounts.

(2)	Net interest expense for the second quarter and first two quarters of 2025 was reduced by $2.1 million as a result of a gain on extinguishment of debt related to the Company's repurchase of $20.7 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.25% senior notes due 2027 in open market purchases for $18.6 million, an average discount repurchase price of 89.98% of such principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $2.1 million, partially offset by the accelerated amortization of deferred debt financing costs of $0.3 million described in footnote (3) below.

(3)	Net interest expense for the second quarter and first two quarters of 2025 includes the accelerated amortization of deferred debt financing costs of $0.3 million (or $0.2 million, net of tax), resulting from the Company's repurchases of 5.25% senior notes due 2027 described in footnote (2) above. Net interest expense for the second quarter and first two quarters of 2024 includes the accelerated amortization of deferred debt financing costs of $0.5 million (or $0.3 million, net of tax), resulting from the Company's prepayment of $21.3 million aggregate principal amount of tranche B term loans and repurchase of $0.7 million aggregate principal amount of 8.00% senior secured notes due 2028 during the second quarter of 2024.

(4)	Acquisition/divestiture-related and non-recurring expenses primarily include acquisition, integration and divestiture‑related expenses for prior and potential future acquisitions and divestitures, and non-recurring expenses.

(5)	In connection with the Company's transition from one reportable segment to four reportable segments during the first quarter of 2024, the Company reassigned assets and liabilities, including goodwill, between four reporting units (which are the same as the Company's reportable segments). The Company completed a goodwill impairment test, both prior to and subsequent to the change in reporting structure, comparing the fair values of the reporting units to the carrying values. The goodwill impairment test resulted in the Company recognizing pre‑tax, non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $70.6 million (or $53.4 million, net of tax) within its Frozen & Vegetables reporting unit during the first quarter of 2024.

(6)	During the second quarter of 2025, the Company completed the sale of the Don Pepino and Sclafani brands and recorded a loss on sale of $12.6 million (or $9.5 million, net of tax) during the quarter.

(7)	During the first quarter of 2025, the Company recorded pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $3.0 million related to property, plant and equipment.

(8)	Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures used by management to measure operating performance. The Company defines adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share as net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share adjusted for certain items that affect comparability. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments to net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share to eliminate the items identified in the reconciliation above. This information is provided in order to allow investors to make meaningful comparisons of the Company's operating performance between periods and to view the Company's business from the same perspective as the Company's management. Because the Company cannot predict the timing and amount of these items, management does not consider these items when evaluating the Company's performance or when making decisions regarding allocation of resources.

(9)	During the first two quarters of 2025, the Company recorded a net discrete tax benefit of $1.0 million. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a net discrete tax benefit of $1.4 million, primarily related to a discrete tax benefit of $2.1 million for the tax effect of a pre-transition loss related to Section 987 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 for the cumulative unrecognized foreign exchange loss relating to its primary operating subsidiary in Canada, which is a qualified business unit for purposes of Section 987, partially offset by discrete tax expenses of $0.7 million related to stock-based compensation and rate changes. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a net discrete tax expense of $0.4 million, primarily related to a settlement for FASB Interpretation No. 48: Managing Uncertain Tax Positions (FIN 48).

	Tax true-up for the second quarter of 2024 of approximately $1.0 million related to return to tax provision adjustments in the U.S. and Mexico.

(10)	Represents the tax effects of the non-GAAP adjustments listed above, assuming a tax rate of approximately 24.5%.

_________________________
(1)	Base business net sales is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management to measure operating performance. The Company defines base business net sales as the Company's net sales excluding (1) the net sales of acquisitions until the net sales from such acquisitions are included in both comparable periods and (2) net sales of discontinued or divested brands. The portion of current period net sales attributable to recent acquisitions for which there is no corresponding period in the comparable period of the prior year is excluded. For each acquisition, the excluded period starts at the beginning of the most recent fiscal period being compared and ends on the first anniversary of the acquisition date. For discontinued or divested brands, the entire amount of net sales is excluded from each fiscal period being compared. The Company has included this financial measure because management believes it provides useful and comparable trend information regarding the results of the Company's business without the effect of the timing of acquisitions and the effect of discontinued or divested brands.

(2)	For the second quarter and first two quarters of 2024, reflects net sales of the Don Pepino and Sclafani brands, which were divested on May 23, 2025, and a net credit paid to customers relating to other discontinued and divested brands. For the second quarter and first two quarters of 2025, reflects net sales of the Don Pepino and Sclafani brands through the date of the divestiture.

The Company defines adjusted gross profit as gross profit adjusted for acquisition/divestiture-related expenses and non-recurring expenses included in cost of goods sold and adjusted gross profit percentage as gross profit percentage (i.e., gross profit as a percentage of net sales) adjusted for acquisition/divestiture-related expenses and non-recurring expenses included in cost of goods sold. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments to gross profit and gross profit percentage to eliminate the items identified in the reconciliation above. This information is provided in order to allow investors to make meaningful comparisons of the Company's operating performance between periods and to view the Company's business from the same perspective as the Company's management. Because the Company cannot predict the timing and amount of these items, management does not consider these items when evaluating the Company's performance or when making decisions regarding allocation of resources.

(2)	Acquisition/divestiture-related expenses and non-recurring expenses included in cost of goods sold primarily include acquisition, integration and divestiture-related expenses for prior and potential future acquisitions and divestitures, and non-recurring expenses.
