    Growth and Cost Savings Contributed Significantly to Fourth Quarter Profitability and Cash Flow

    Building on Year-End Momentum, Company Provides Robust Fiscal 2025 Outlook

    GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Feb. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Food solutions company SpartanNash (the "Company") (NASDAQ:SPTN) today reported financial results for its 12-week fourth quarter and 52-week fiscal year ended Dec. 28, 2024.

    (PRNewsfoto/SpartanNash)

    "I am incredibly proud of the progress the team made on our strategic plan in 2024, achieving our third consecutive year of record adjusted EBITDA, bolstered by the delivery of our margin-enhancing programs a year ahead of schedule," said SpartanNash President and CEO Tony Sarsam. "We are energized by the momentum going into 2025, especially as we integrate the recently acquired grocery and c-store businesses – Fresh Encounter and Markham – into our retail portfolio. We are also investing into organic growth, fueled by a continued focus on our transformational initiatives, which are expected to further drive results, capture additional cost savings, enhance margin, and maximize long-term shareholder value."

    Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2024 Highlights(1)

    • Net sales increased 0.7% to $2.26 billion, driven by an increase in volume in the Retail segment, partially offset by lower volume in the Wholesale segment.
      • Wholesale segment net sales decreased 2.1% to $1.56 billion primarily due to reduced case volumes in both the independent retailers and national accounts customer channels.
      • Retail segment net sales increased 7.7% to $697.1 million, while comparable store sales were down 0.7%. Incremental sales from stores acquired in fiscal 2024 more than offset lower consumer demand trends.
    • Net loss of $1.04 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $0.30 per diluted share.
      • The decrease included the write-off of $45.7 million of goodwill within the Retail segment.
    • Adjusted EPS(2) of $0.42, compared to $0.35. Adjusted EBITDA(3) of $58.6 million, compared to $53.6 million.
      • These increases were driven by higher gross margin rates in both segments, including benefits from the merchandising transformation, and contributions from recently acquired retail stores. The increase was partially offset by lower case volumes within the Wholesale segment, as well as higher corporate administrative expenses.
      • These measures exclude, among other items, restructuring and asset impairment charges and the impact of the LIFO provision.

    Fiscal 2024 Highlights(4)

    • Net sales decreased 1.9% to $9.55 billion.
      • Wholesale segment net sales decreased 3.0% to $6.71 billion.
      • Retail segment net sales increased 1.1% to $2.84 billion, while comparable store sales decreased 1.7%.
    • Net earnings of $0.01 per diluted share decreased compared to $1.50 per diluted share.
    • Adjusted EPS(2) of $2.03 decreased from $2.18. Adjusted EBITDA(3) of $258.5 million increased from $257.4 million.
    • Cash generated from operating activities of $205.9 million compared to $89.3 million. The 130.5% increase in cash from operating activities is due primarily to working capital improvements.
    • Net long-term debt(5) to adjusted EBITDA(5) ratio of 2.8x increased from 2.4x at the end of the third quarter, due to inorganic growth investments in the fourth quarter.
    • Capital expenditures and IT capital(6) of $144.4 million compared to $127.4 million.
    • Returned $45.0 million to shareholders through $15.1 million in share repurchases and $29.9 million in dividends.

    (1)

    All comparisons are for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared with the fourth quarter of 2023, unless otherwise noted.

    A reconciliation of net (loss) earnings to adjusted earnings from continuing operations, as well as per diluted share ("adjusted EPS"), a non-GAAP financial measure, is provided in Table 3.

    Guidance incorporates both the investments and benefits from the Company's long-term strategic initiatives, including all transformational programs and tuck-in acquisitions. The adjusted EPS guidance also reflects an approximate $0.30 impact due to an increase in non-cash expenses primarily depreciation and amortization, as well as incremental interest costs associated with recent acquisitions and capital investments. The Company estimates that the 53rd week will contribute net sales of $0.2 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $4.0 million and adjusted EPS of $0.06.

    Conference Call & Supplemental Earnings Presentation

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, the Company also provides information regarding adjusted earnings from continuing operations, as well as per diluted share ("adjusted EPS"), net long-term debt, capital expenditures and IT capital, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA"). These are non-GAAP financial measures, as defined below, and are used by management to allocate resources, assess performance against its peers and evaluate overall performance. The Company believes these measures provide useful information for both management and its investors. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide additional understanding of the trends and special circumstances that affect its business. These measures provide useful supplemental information that helps investors to establish a basis for expected performance and the ability to evaluate actual results against that expectation. The measures, when considered in connection with GAAP results, can be used to assess the overall performance of the Company as well as assess the Company's performance against its peers. These measures are also used as a basis for certain compensation programs sponsored by the Company. In addition, securities analysts, fund managers and other shareholders and stakeholders that communicate with the Company request its financial results in these adjusted formats.

    Current year adjusted earnings from continuing operations, and adjusted EBITDA exclude, among other items, LIFO expense, organizational realignment, severance associated with cost reduction initiatives, a non-routine settlement gain with an insurance company related to a legal matter from a previously closed operation, operating and non-operating costs associated with the postretirement plan amendment and settlement and a non-operating benefit associated with a pension refund from an annuity provider. Current year organizational realignment includes consulting and severance costs associated with the Company's change in its go-to-market strategy as part of its long-term plan, which relates to the reorganization of certain functions. Costs related to the postretirement plan amendment and settlement include operating and non-operating expenses associated with recognition of plan settlement losses and amortization of the prior service credit related to the amendment of the retiree medical plan, which are adjusted out of adjusted earnings from continuing operations. Postretirement plan amendment and settlement costs also include operating expenses related to payroll taxes which are adjusted out of all non-GAAP financial measures. The pension refund from an annuity provider is related to a terminated pension plan and is a non-operating benefit which is adjusted out of adjusted earnings from continuing operations.

    Prior year adjusted earnings from continuing operations, and adjusted EBITDA exclude, among other items, LIFO expense, organizational realignment, severance associated with cost reduction initiatives and a non-routine settlement related to a legal matter resulting from a previously closed operation and operating and non-operating costs associated with the postretirement plan amendment and settlement.

    Each of these items are considered "non-operational" or "non-core" in nature.

    The Company is unable to provide a full reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP measures used in the Fiscal 2025 Outlook section of this press release without unreasonable effort because it is not possible to predict certain adjustment items with a reasonable degree of certainty since they are not yet known or quantifiable, and do not relate to the Company's normal operating activities. These adjustments may include, among other items, restructuring and asset impairment activity, acquisition and integration costs, severance, organizational realignment costs, and the impact of adjustments to the LIFO inventory reserve. This information is dependent upon future events, which may be outside of the Company's control and could have a significant impact on its GAAP financial results for fiscal 2025.

    Notes: Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("adjusted EBITDA") is a non-GAAP operating financial measure that the Company defines as net earnings plus interest, discontinued operations, depreciation and amortization, and other non-cash items including share-based payments (equity awards measured in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation, which include both stock-based compensation to employees and stock warrants issued to non-employees) and the LIFO provision, as well as adjustments for items that do not reflect the ongoing operating activities of the Company.

    Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA by segment are not measures of performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net earnings, cash flows from operating activities and other income or cash flow statement data. The Company's definitions of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA by segment may not be identical to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

    The income tax effect on adjustments is computed by applying the effective tax rate, before discrete tax items, to the total adjustments for the period.

    Notes: Adjusted earnings from continuing operations, as well as per diluted share ("adjusted EPS"), is a non-GAAP operating financial measure that the Company defines as net (loss) earnings plus or minus adjustments for items that do not reflect the ongoing operating activities of the Company and costs associated with the closing of operational locations.

    Adjusted earnings from continuing operations is not a measure of performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net (loss) earnings, cash flows from operating activities and other income or cash flow statement data. The Company's definition of adjusted earnings from continuing operations may not be identical to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

    Notes: Net long-term debt is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as long-term debt and finance lease obligations plus current maturities of long-term debt and finance lease obligations less cash and cash equivalents. The Company believes both management and its investors find the information useful because it reflects the amount of long-term debt obligations that are not covered by available cash. Net long-term debt is not a substitute for GAAP financial measures and may differ from similarly titled measures of other companies.

    Notes: Capital expenditures and IT capital is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by adding spending related to the development of cloud computing applications to capital expenditures, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Cloud computing spend only includes costs incurred during the application development phase and does not include ongoing costs of hosting or maintenance associated with these applications, which are expensed as incurred. The Company believes it is a useful indicator of the Company's investment in its facilities and systems as it transitions to more cloud-based IT systems. Capital expenditures and IT capital is not a substitute for GAAP financial measures and may differ from similarly titled measures of other companies.
