Gross profit in the third quarter of 2015 decreased 4.8% to $48.0 million, or 36.1% of net sales, compared to $50.4 million, or 37.7% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2014. Overall gross margin was mainly impacted by the mix shift to the lower margin Natural segment from the higher margin Balance segment.

Brand Profit in the third quarter of 2015 for the Company’s Natural segment decreased 7.9% to $13.7 million, or 15.4% of net sales, compared to $14.9 million, or 17.8% of net sales, in last year’s third quarter. Brand Profit margin for the Company’s Natural segment was primarily impacted by the lower gross margin, due to higher bread yield loss at its Denver facility and lower overhead absorption in its Canadian facility, and a negative mix impact from its lower margin frozen category.

Brand Profit for the Company’s Balance segment, decreased 9.0% to $16.7 million, or 38.0% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2015 from $18.3 million, or 36.4% of net sales, in the previous year’s third quarter. Brand Profit margin improvement was mainly attributable to higher gross margin due to favorable mix within the Smart Balance portfolio.

Operating income was $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2015 compared to operating loss of $138.1 million in the third quarter of 2014. Excluding certain items, non-GAAP operating income was $13.2 million in the third quarter of 2015 compared to non-GAAP operating income of $13.3 million in the third quarter of 2014. The charges impacting operating income in the third quarter of 2015 primarily consisted of restructuring and severance costs, stock-based compensation modification charges and costs associated with the Company’s exploration of strategic alternatives. The charges impacting operating loss in the third quarter of 2014 included an impairment charge for Smart Balance of $150.5 million, and to a much lesser extent, severance and relocation charges. Also excluded from Adjusted EBITDA in 2015 was a gain on the sale of Suja shares within the Company’s investment subsidiary, Boulder Brands Investment Group (BBIG). In the quarter, BBIG tendered 35% of its shares in Suja in a transaction with The Coca Cola Company and Goldman Sachs, resulting in a gain of approximately $4.7 million, with $0.5 million of the gain attributable to the non-controlling interest.

Other expense (income), net, of $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2015, primarily included foreign currency losses. Other expense (income), net, of $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2014, primarily included foreign currency losses, partially offset by gains associated with commodity hedging contracts. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 6.2% to $19.6 million compared to last year’s third quarter of $20.9 million.

Forward-looking Statements

Statements made in this press release that are not historical facts, including statements about the Company’s plans, strategies, beliefs, and expectations, including the Company’s outlook for all of 2015, are forward-looking and subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements may include use of the words “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “project,” “may,” “believe” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and, except for the Company’s ongoing obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether to reflect actual results of operations, changes in financial condition, changes in general economic or business conditions, changes in estimates, expectations or assumptions, or circumstances or events arising after the issuance of this press release. Actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements for a number of reasons, including risks related to: the exploration of strategic alternatives, including whether any potential sale or merger of the Company will be consummated and, if so, the timing and terms of any such transaction, the potential loss of personnel and distraction to the Company and its management as a result of the process; changes to the Company’s management team, the Company’s ability to implement its growth strategy, the Company’s ability to manage its supply chain effectively, the Company’s ability to drive product innovation, lack of growth in consumer demand for packaged food products in the health and wellness space, the Company’s ability to maintain distribution, the Company’s ability to generate purchase volume while maintaining or growing profitability, the Company’s ability to maintain the health of its brands, and to prevent erosion of the reputation or appeal of the Company’s brands, continued adverse developments with respect to the sale of the Company’s buttery spreads and related products, adverse developments with respect to the demand for the Company’s gluten free products, maintaining and upgrading the Company’s manufacturing facilities, the loss of a contract manufacturer, the Company’s rapid growth and need to build an infrastructure and workforce, termination of the Company’s relationships with its primary sales agents, changes in consumer preferences, potential unavailability of necessary capital, price increases, the Company’s ability to protect its intellectual property, the expiration of certain patents, any sustained economic downturn in the U.S. and abroad, fluctuations in various food and supply costs, regulation of the Company’s advertising, adverse publicity or consumer concern regarding safety and quality of its food products, the absence of long-term contracts with the Company’s customers, economic and political conditions in the U.S. and abroad, foreign currency fluctuations, the identification and execution and integration of acquisitions, the realization of the expected growth benefits

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

The Company uses the terms “non-GAAP operating income,” “net income excluding certain items,” “diluted earnings per share (EPS) excluding certain items,” “EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Brand Profit” as non-GAAP measures. The Company believes that these measures help to explain its profitability and performance in a manner which assists investors, potential investors and securities analysts who evaluate our Company. Non-GAAP operating income is defined as operating income excluding restructuring, acquisition and integration-related costs and certain other items. Brand profit is defined as gross profit less marketing, selling and royalty expense (income), net and certain other costs. EBITDA is defined as net income before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as adjusted for stock-based compensation, purchase accounting adjustments, restructuring, acquisition and integration-related costs and certain other items. The Company believes that the exclusion of both non-cash and certain items helps to provide a reflection of the operating profitability of the Company and complements the Company’s planning and forecasting models used in providing investors and securities analysts with important supplemental information regarding the Company’s underlying profitability and operating performance. However, non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP measures the Company uses may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to (i) non-GAAP operating income, (ii) net income excluding certain items, (iii) diluted earnings per share, excluding certain items, (iv) EBITDA, (v) Adjusted EBITDA, and (vi) brand profit are, respectively, (i) operating income, (ii) net income, (iii) diluted earnings per share, (iv) operating income, (v) operating income and (vi) income before income taxes. We have included in this press release reconciliations of GAAP operating income to non-GAAP operating income, GAAP operating income to Adjusted EBITDA, GAAP net income to net income excluding certain items, GAAP EPS to diluted EPS excluding certain items and income before income taxes to brand profit. Because of the forward-looking nature of the Company’s forecasted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, specific quantifications of the amounts that would be required to reconcile these measures to our forecasted GAAP operating income are not available. The Company believes that there is a degree of volatility with respect to certain of the Company’s GAAP measures, primarily related to certain adjustments made to arrive at the relevant non-GAAP measures, which preclude the Company from providing accurate forecasted GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations. Based on the above, the Company believes that providing estimates of the amounts that would be required to reconcile the range of the non-GAAP EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to forecasted GAAP operating income would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors for the reasons identified above.
