MISSISSAUGA, ON, Oct. 30, 2019 /CNW/ – Maple Leaf Foods Inc. (“Maple Leaf Foods” or “the Company”) (TSX: MFI) today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019.

Quarterly Highlights

• Initial quarter with segmented results; meat protein and plant protein each with distinct value creation strategies
• Sales increased 13.8%, or 5.4% excluding acquisitions, driven by growth in both meat and plant protein businesses
• Meat Protein Group delivered Adjusted EBITDA margin⁽¹⁾ of 9.0% in erratic markets
• Plant Protein Group sales grew 30.1%, while maintaining a solid core gross margin of 28.9%, or 21.3% including start-up costs related to high growth

 

“Our third quarter marks our first on the journey to operating two significant segments with different economics: one in meat protein with a robust multi-year agenda of profit growth, and one in plant protein that is capitalizing on enormous opportunities for rapid revenue growth”, said Michael H. McCain, President and CEO. “Our plant protein business saw 30% growth and accelerating, and we are intentionally investing very heavily in that growth. Meat protein faced an unexpectedly erratic market condition in the quarter connected with global trade, and we expect that to reverse in short order. We are very excited about how we are positioned and where we are headed!”

Financial Highlights

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company completed a comprehensive analysis of the role of its rapidly expanding plant protein business in the Company’s meat and plant protein portfolio, their respective financial profiles and long-term value creation opportunities. Based on the importance of these two distinct businesses and differing strategic and financial requirements to maximize their market leadership and long-term shareholder value, the Company has disaggregated its business into two operating segments. As described below, these segments offer different products, with separate organizational structures, brands, financial and marketing strategies. The Company’s chief operating decision makers regularly review internal reports for these businesses; performance of the Meat Protein Group is based on revenue growth, Adjusted Operating Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA, while the performance of the Plant Protein Group is based predominately on revenue growth rates, while managing gross margins and controlling investment levels which generate high revenue growth rates.

 

 

Third quarter sales increased 13.8% to $995.8 million and Adjusted Earnings per Share for the quarter was $0.03. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, sales increased 12.5% and Adjusted Earnings per Share was $0.55.

Net earnings for the third quarter of 2019 were $13.4 million ($0.11 per basic share) compared to $26.6 million ($0.21 per basic share) last year. Strong performance in prepared meats, value-added pork and poultry and plant protein, and a tax recovery from the favourable resolution of an income tax audit was more than offset by adverse pork market conditions, including heightened volatility in hog prices and the Chinese import suspension of Canadian pork, and strategic investments in plant protein to drive top line growth and market leadership. Year-to-date results were also impacted by changes in the fair value of biological assets and derivative contracts, which are excluded in the calculation of Adjusted Operating Earnings below.

Adjusted Operating Earnings for the third quarter of 2019 were $9.7 million compared to $51.0 million last year, and Adjusted Earnings per Share for the third quarter of 2019 was $0.03 compared to $0.29 last year. Year-to-date Adjusted Operating Earnings for 2019 were $117.0 million compared to $161.6 million last year, and Adjusted Earnings per Share for 2019 were $0.55 compared to $0.93 last year.

The following table summarizes the Company’s sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses, Adjusted Operating Earnings, Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), and Adjusted EBITDA Margin by operating segment for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018:

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses, Adjusted Operating Earnings, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin by operating segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018:

 

Meat Protein Group

The Meat Protein Group is comprised of prepared meats, ready-to-cook and ready-to-serve meals, hog production and value-added fresh pork and poultry products that are sold to retail, foodservice and industrial channels. The Meat Protein Group includes leading brands such as Maple Leaf®, Maple Leaf Prime®, Schneiders®, Mina®, Greenfield Natural Meat Co.®, Swift® and many leading sub-brands.

Sales for the third quarter of 2019 increased 13.7% to $953.3 million compared to $838.7 million last year. Excluding acquisitions, sales grew 4.8%, driven by favourable mix tied to food renovation supporting major brand strategies and pricing actions implemented during the quarter and in late 2018 to mitigate higher raw material input costs. Continued expansion of sustainable meats, including double-digit growth in the U.S., also contributed to strong sales.

Year-to-date sales for 2019 increased 12.3% to $2,807.7 million compared to $2,500.8 million last year. Excluding acquisitions, sales grew 3.1% consistent with the factors noted above.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2019 was $123.4 million (gross margin of 12.9%) compared to $119.3 million (gross margin of 14.2%) last year. Stronger commercial and operational performance, including favourable mix attributed to food renovation, continued expansion of sustainable meats and pricing action taken to mitigate higher raw material costs, contributed to higher gross profit in the quarter. This improved performance was partially offset by a significant decline in North American pork markets, which traded approximately 220 basis points below five-year averages, as well as a temporary import suspension of Canadian pork into China. In addition, the Company locked in raw material costs for its prepared meats business in anticipation of rising meat prices that were not fully recovered by subsequent pricing action in the quarter. These factors resulted in a decline in gross margin.

Year-to-date gross profit for 2019 was $417.5 million (gross margin of 14.9%) compared to $385.0 million (gross margin of 15.4%) last year. The change in gross profit is attributable to strong commercial and operational performance offset by adverse market conditions and the Chinese import suspension of Canadian pork.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the third quarter of 2019 were $78.8 million (8.3% of sales), compared to $68.8 million (8.2% of sales) last year. The increase in SG&A expenses was due to investments in advertising and promotion. On a percentage of sales basis, SG&A expenses were in line with last year.

Year-to-date SG&A expenses for 2019 were $254.7 million (9.1% of sales), compared to $228.1 million (9.1% of sales) last year. The change in SG&A is consistent with the factors noted above.

Adjusted Operating Earnings for the third quarter of 2019 were $44.6 million compared to $50.6 million last year. Improved commercial and operational performance was driven by favourable mix attributed to food renovation, higher sustainable meats sales and pricing action taken to mitigate higher raw material costs. This was offset by adverse market conditions, the Chinese import suspension of Canadian pork and increased investment in advertising and promotion.

Year-to-date Adjusted Operating Earnings for 2019 were $162.8 million compared to $157.0 million last year. The change in Adjusted Operating Earnings is consistent with factors noted above.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the third quarter was 9.0% compared to 9.4% last year.

Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 10.1% compared to 9.8% last year, with the increase consistent with the factors noted above. Adjusted EBITDA Margin was impacted by the adoption of IFRS 16 – Leases (“IFRS 16”). Upon the adoption of IFRS 16, leases previously classified as operating leases were capitalized on the Company’s consolidated interim balance sheet. For the third quarter an incremental $8.2 million in depreciation and $1.8 million in interest was recorded on the Company’s consolidated interim statement of earnings, not included in Adjusted EBITDA. Incremental increases in depreciation and interest for the first nine months were $24.4 million and $5.3 million, respectively.

Plant Protein Group

The Plant Protein Group is comprised of refrigerated plant protein products, premium grain-based protein and vegan cheese products sold to retail, foodservice and industrial channels. The Plant Protein Group includes the leading brands Lightlife® and Field Roast Grain Meat Co.™

Sales for the third quarter of 2019 increased 30.1% to $47.0 million compared to $36.1 million last year. Sales growth was driven by expanded distribution of new products and continued volume increases in its existing portfolio.

Year-to-date sales for 2019 increased 25.7% to $126.7 million compared to $100.8 million last year. Excluding acquisitions, sales grew 20.6% consistent with the factors noted above.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2019 was $10.0 million (gross margin of 21.3%) compared to $9.1 million (gross margin of 25.1%) last year. The increase in gross profit was attributed to improved manufacturing and operating processes. The Company is strategically investing in SG&A to drive higher levels of growth and brand leadership in the rapidly growing plant protein market. After excluding the impact of inefficiencies associated with start-up production and other costs related to building scale to support high growth, core gross margin was approximately 28.9%.

Year-to-date gross profit for 2019 was $27.8 million (22.0% of sales) compared to $29.4 million (29.2% of sales) last year. Excluding investments in growth initiatives, core gross margin was approximately 29.9%. The change in gross profit is consistent with the factor noted above.

SG&A expenses for the third quarter of 2019 were $44.9 million (95.5% of sales), compared to $8.6 million (23.9% of sales) last year. The increase in SG&A expenses reflects the evolution of the Company’s plant protein strategy to drive sales growth and secure market share in a rapidly growing market. Supporting this strategy, significant investment in advertising, promotion and marketing was incurred during the quarter to enhance brand awareness and support new product launches and expanded distribution. In addition, the Company invested to broaden organizational capacity and its innovation pipeline.

Year-to-date SG&A expenses for 2019 were $73.6 million (58.1% of sales), compared to $24.7 million (24.5% of sales) last year. The change in selling, general and administrative expenses is consistent with the factors noted above.

Adjusted Operating Earnings for the third quarter of 2019 were a loss of $34.9 million compared to earnings of $0.4 million last year. The decline in Adjusted Operating Earnings reflects a deliberate focus on accelerating sales growth through increased investments in advertising, promotion and marketing, organizational capacity, product development and operational efficiency.

Year-to-date Adjusted Operating Earnings for 2019 were a loss of $45.8 million compared to earnings of $4.7 million last year. The change in Adjusted Operating Earnings is consistent with factors noted above.

Other Matters

On October 29, 2019, the Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.145 per share payable December 31, 2019 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 6, 2019.

Outlook

Maple Leaf Foods is committed to creating shared value with a focus on driving commercial and financial results and enhancing competitive advantage through addressing some of society’s most pressing issues. The Company is a leading consumer protein company, with the competitive advantages of a portfolio of leading brands, a robust pipeline of opportunities in attractive expanding markets and a proven-track record of execution. Combined with its solid balance sheet and capital structure that provide the financial flexibility to invest in future growth, Maple Leaf Foods is well-positioned to drive sustainable growth and create shareholder value.

Ongoing uncertainty in fresh pork markets is expected with continued global trade negotiations, the confirmation of African Swine Fever (“ASF”) in China and China’s temporary suspension of Canadian pork imports. ASF is leading to a shortage of pork protein in China, which is expected to increase worldwide market pricing of lean hogs as well as processed pork. Maple Leaf Foods is partially mitigating the impact of the Chinese import suspension of Canadian pork with exports to other countries and inventory management strategies. Within this environment, Management remains focused on existing opportunities to grow the core business by improving commercial performance, operational efficiencies and progressing against strategic initiatives for longer-term value creation.

In 2017, Maple Leaf Foods set a profitability target to achieve an Adjusted EBITDA margin between 14% – 16% within five years. The Company remains focused on meeting this target in its profitable Meat Protein Group with ongoing progress in key margin expansion initiatives, including its sustainable meat strategy, poultry network strategy, its food renovation strategy supporting Maple Leaf’s flagship brands and its cost culture to deliver operational savings and efficiencies to fuel growth. Distinct from the more mature meat protein market, plant protein is rapidly expanding and presents a dynamic marketplace with vast growth opportunities. Leveraging its market leadership, Maple Leaf has changed its plant protein strategy and is pursuing aggressive new growth goals focused on expanding sales. Continued investments in its plant protein brands’ strength, product innovation, people and supply chain excellence serve to secure Maple Leaf Foods’ leading position in this burgeoning market.

In 2019 the Company expects to:

• Invest approximately $300.0 million in capital expenditures, including approximately $100.0 million related to the construction of the new value-added poultry facility in London, Ontario and the new plant protein facility in Shelbyville, Indiana. This includes continuing construction of its London Poultry facility and advancing its Shelbyville plant protein facility. The Company’s net debt includes $79.5 million of Construction Capital⁽⁹⁾ related to these projects;  
• Continue to build its leadership in sustainable meat with further advancement in animal care including progress towards transitioning all sows under management to open housing systems by 2021, and ongoing retail and food service growth of the raised without antibiotics category in Canada and the U.S.;
• Gain further momentum in prepared meats sales volume as the Company benefits from the food renovation and brand repositioning of its Maple Leaf®, Schneiders® and Swift® brands; and
• Pursue aggressive new growth goals focused on expanding sales and accelerating its leadership in the refrigerated plant protein market under its flagship Lightlife® and Field Roast Grain Meat Co.^TM brands, targeting 2020 sales to exceed $280.0 million with an opportunity of greater than $3.0 billion in sales on a 10-year horizon, based on the plant protein market’s growth potential and the Company’s anticipated share of the market.

 

Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

The Company uses the following non-IFRS measures: Adjusted Operating Earnings, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Construction Capital and Net Debt. Management believes that these non-IFRS measures provide useful information to investors in measuring the financial performance of the Company for the reasons outlined below. These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies and should not be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted Operating Earnings, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted Operating Earnings, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-IFRS measures used by Management to evaluate financial operating results. Adjusted Operating Earnings is defined as earnings before income taxes adjusted for items that are not considered representative of ongoing operational activities of the business and items where the economic impact of the transactions will be reflected in earnings in future periods when the underlying asset is sold or transferred. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted Operating Earnings plus depreciation and intangible asset amortization, adjusted for items included in other expense that are not considered representative of ongoing operational activities of the business. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by sales.

The tables below provide a reconciliation of earnings (loss) before income taxes as reported under IFRS in the consolidated financial statements to Adjusted Operating Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months September 30. Management believes that these non-IFRS measures are useful in assessing the performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and its ability to generate cash flows to fund its cash requirements, including the Company’s capital investment program.

 

 

Adjusted Earnings per Share

Adjusted Earnings per Share, a non-IFRS measure, is used by Management to evaluate financial operating results. It is defined as basic earnings per share adjusted on the same basis as Adjusted Operating Earnings. The table below provides a reconciliation of basic earnings per share as reported under IFRS in the consolidated statements of net earnings to Adjusted Earnings per Share for the three and nine months ended September 30, as indicated below. Management believes this basis is the most appropriate on which to evaluate financial results as they are representative of the ongoing operations of the Company.

 

Construction Capital

Construction Capital, a non-IFRS measure, is used by Management to evaluate the amount of capital resources invested in specific strategic development projects that have not yet entered commercial production. It is defined as investments in projects over $50.0 million that are related to longer-term strategic initiatives, with no returns expected for at least 12 months in the future and the asset will be re-categorized from Construction Capital once operational. Current strategic initiatives primarily include the investments in the London, Ontario poultry production facility, and the plant protein production facility in Shelbyville, Indiana. The following table is a summary of Construction Capital activity and debt financing for the periods indicated below.  

 

Net Debt

The following table reconciles Net Debt to amounts reported under IFRS in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as at September 30, as indicated below. The Company calculates Net Debt as cash and cash equivalents, less long-term debt and bank indebtedness. Management believes this measure is useful in assessing the amount of financial leverage employed.
