"Our performance in this challenging consumer environment demonstrates the resiliency of the category and underscores the advantages of our diversified business model. As more consumers seek to maximize the value of their spending, our diverse product line and broad distribution enables us to satisfy consumer demand at various price points wherever they shop.

"The successful execution of our pricing and portfolio strategies, together with our diligent focus on efficiencies, mitigated many of the inflationary and supply chain pressures and drove better-than-expected margins. Reflecting this strong performance, we are increasing the bottom of our earnings outlook range. To further enhance shareholder value, we increased our dividend, repurchased shares, and invested in Base Culture, a fast-growing, premium baked goods brand. As always, we remain committed to executing on our strategic pillars and driving results in line with our long-term financial targets."

Consolidated Second Quarter Operating Highlights

Compared to the prior year second quarter where applicable

Sales increased 11.0% to a second quarter record, $1.129 billion, surpassing the previous record second quarter results in 2020 that were influenced by the pandemic.
Percentage point change in sales attributed to:

Pricing/mix: 14.4%
Volume: -3.4%

Branded retail sales increased $61.4 million or 9.1% to $735.9 million, store branded retail sales increased $26.2 million or 20.0% to $157.2 million, while non-retail and other sales increased $24.2 million or 11.4% to $235.9 million.
Branded retail sales increased due to higher prices intended to offset inflationary pressures, partially offset by volume declines and sales mix reversion.
Store branded retail sales increased primarily due to higher prices intended to offset inflationary pressures. Volumes were relatively flat as positive growth from sales mix shifts was offset by targeted sales rationalization and packaging shortages.
Non-retail and other sales increased primarily due to higher prices intended to offset inflationary pressures, partially offset by volume declines in fast food and co-manufactured items.
Materials, supplies, labor, and other production costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) were 51.9% of sales, a 240-basis point increase. These costs increased as a percentage of sales due to higher ingredient and packaging costs, partly offset by higher sales that leveraged labor expenses, and timing differences in the sell-through of product inventories.
Selling, distribution and administrative (SD&A) expenses were 38.8% of sales, a 130-basis point decrease, benefitting from price increases and lower labor and marketing expenses, and distributor distribution fees, partially offset by higher logistics expenses. Excluding matters affecting comparability, adjusted SD&A expenses were 37.5% of sales, a 90-basis point decrease from the prior year period.
Depreciation and amortization (D&A) expenses were $32.9 million, or 2.9% of sales, a 20-basis point decrease.
Net income decreased 4.8% to $53.7 million due to all of the factors mentioned above, as well as lower interest income, and a higher tax rate. Adjusted net income decreased 5.2% to $65.2 million.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased 1.8% to $120.0 million, representing 10.6% of sales, a 140-basis point decrease.

Cash Flow, Capital Allocation, and Capital Return

Year-to-date, through the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2022, cash flow from operating activities decreased by $39.6 million to $183.8 million, capital expenditures increased $39.6 million to $97.9 million, and dividends paid to shareholders increased $6.4 million to $93.4 million. Cash and cash equivalents were $162.5 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2022.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Board of Directors increased the company's share repurchase authorization by 20.0 million shares. Year-to-date the company repurchased $16.5 million of common stock, including $6.5 million in the second quarter, leaving 25.1 million shares remaining for repurchase under the company's current share repurchase plan. The company expects to continue to execute share repurchases from time to time under this plan.

Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). However, from time to time, the company may present in its public statements, press releases and SEC filings, non-GAAP financial measures such as, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted selling, distribution and administrative expenses (SD&A), gross margin excluding depreciation and amortization, free cash flow, and the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA. The reconciliations attached provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this presentation or release to the most comparable GAAP financial measure. The company's definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Earnings are net income. The company believes that EBITDA is a useful tool for managing the operations of its business and is an indicator of the company's ability to incur and service indebtedness and generate free cash flow. EBITDA is used as the primary performance measure in the company's 2014 Omnibus Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan. Furthermore, pursuant to the terms of our credit facility, EBITDA is used to determine the company's compliance with certain financial covenants. The company also believes that EBITDA measures are commonly reported and widely used by investors and other interested parties as measures of a company's operating performance and debt servicing ability because EBITDA measures assist in comparing performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation or amortization, which can vary significantly depending upon accounting methods and non-operating factors (such as historical cost). EBITDA is also a widely-accepted financial indicator of a company's ability to incur and service indebtedness.

EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to (a) income from operations or net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance; (b) cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the company's ability to meet its cash needs; or (c) any other indicator of performance or liquidity that has been determined in accordance with GAAP.

The company defines adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted income tax expense and adjusted SD&A, respectively, excluding the impact of asset impairment charges, Project Centennial consulting costs, business process improvement costs, lease terminations, legal settlements, acquisition-related costs, and pension plan settlements. The company believes that these measures, when considered together with its GAAP financial results, provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of its business operating results, including underlying trends, by excluding the effects of certain charges.

The company defines free cash flow as operating cash flow minus capital expenditures. The company believes that free cash flow provides investors a better understanding of the company's liquidity position. The company defines net debt as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt to EBITDA is used as a measure of financial leverage employed by the company. Gross margin excluding depreciation and amortization is used as a performance measure to provide additional transparent information regarding our results of operations on a consolidated and segment basis. Changes in depreciation and amortization are separately discussed and include depreciation and amortization for materials, supplies, labor and other production costs and operating activities.

Presentation of gross margin includes depreciation and amortization in the materials, supplies, labor and other production costs according to GAAP. Our method of presenting gross margin excludes the depreciation and amortization components, as discussed above.

The reconciliations attached provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this presentation or release to the most comparable GAAP financial measure.
