Revenue from continuing operations increased 21% to $171 million, driven by volume growth
Loss from continuing operations of $3.8 million compared to a loss of $11.7 million in the prior year
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations increased 12% to $20.6 million
Raising 2024 revenue outlook
SunOpta Inc. ("SunOpta" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:STKL) (TSX:SOY), an innovative and sustainable manufacturer fueling the future of food, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 29, 2024.
All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars and results are reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, except where specifically noted.
Second Quarter 2024 highlights:
- Revenues of $171.0 million increased 21.1% compared to $141.2 million in the prior year period, driven by 26.9% volume growth partially offset by a 3.9% price reduction for pass-through commodity pricing
- Gross profit of $21.8 million increased 17.3% compared to $18.6 million in the prior year period
- Loss from continuing operations was $3.8 million compared to a loss of $11.7 million in the prior year period
- Adjusted earnings¹ from continuing operations was $2.8 million compared to $1.1 million in the prior year period
- Adjusted EBITDA¹ from continuing operations increased 11.9% to $20.6 million, compared to $18.4 million in the prior year period.
"We delivered another quarter of outstanding growth, reflecting strong underlying demand and solid execution on operational initiatives aimed at sustainable supply chain effectiveness and efficiency," said Brian Kocher, Chief Executive Officer of SunOpta. "Revenue growth continues to be demand driven and broad based across customers and channels. Our supply chain supported a significant increase in output and simultaneously highlighted areas where investment is required to deliver sustainable gross margin expansion in the future. We are increasing our revenue outlook for 2024, and maintaining our adjusted EBITDA guidance to reflect short-term investments in the supply chain. Given the depth of our pipeline, operational and supply chain initiatives currently underway, and strength of our overall competitive position, we continue to have a high degree of confidence in the longer-term trajectory of our business and our ability to deliver significant value to shareholders."
Second Quarter 2024 Results
Revenues increased 21.1% to $171.0 million for the second quarter of 2024. The increase was driven by favorable volume/mix, which was up 26.9%, partially offset by a price reduction of 3.9% due to the pass through of commodity costs for certain raw materials, together with a 1.8% revenue reduction related to our exit from the smoothie bowls category in March 2024. Volume/mix reflected volume growth for teas, protein shakes, broths, plant-based beverages, and fruit snacks.
Gross profit increased by $3.2 million, or 17.3%, to $21.8 million for the second quarter, compared to $18.6 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit margin was 12.8% compared to 13.2% in the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted gross margin¹ was 16.2% compared to 17.3% in the second quarter of 2023. The 110-basis point decrease in adjusted gross margin reflected the impact of incremental depreciation of new production equipment for capital expansion projects, together with certain manufacturing inefficiencies, partially offset by higher sales and production volumes that drove improved plant utilization.
Operating income¹ was $2.6 million, or 1.5% of revenue in the second quarter of 2024, compared to operating income of $1.2 million, or 0.8% of revenues in the second quarter of 2023. The increase in operating income reflected higher gross profit partially offset by higher variable compensation and an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $0.8 million on peso denominated restricted cash held in Mexico.
Loss from continuing operations was $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared with a loss of $11.7 million in the prior year period. Diluted loss per share from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders (after dividends and accretion on preferred stock) was $0.03 for the second quarter compared with a diluted loss per share of $0.10 in the prior year period.
Adjusted earnings¹ from continuing operations was $2.8 million or $0.02 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2024 compared to adjusted earnings from continuing operations of $1.1 million or $0.01 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA¹ from continuing operations was $20.6 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $18.4 million in the second quarter of 2023.
Please refer to the discussion and table below under "Non-GAAP Measures".
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of June 29, 2024, SunOpta had total assets of $704.7 million and total debt of $303.1 million compared to total assets of $669.4 million and total debt of $263.2 million at year end fiscal 2023. During the two quarters ended June 29, 2024, cash provided in operating activities of continuing operations was $2.0 million compared to $17.5 million during the same period in 2023. The decrease in cash provided from operating activities mainly reflected increases in working capital due to the timing of accounts payable and increases in inventory supporting increased demand partially offset by increased operating income. Investing activities of continuing operations consumed $13.9 million of cash during the first two quarters of 2024 down from $32.6 million for the same period in the prior year, reflecting the completion of certain major capital projects including the construction of our new plant-based beverage facility in Midlothian, Texas.

1 See discussion of non-GAAP measures
2 The Company has included certain forward-looking statements about the future financial performance that include non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA. These non–GAAP financial measures are derived by excluding certain amounts, expenses or income, from the corresponding financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures is a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts recognized in a given period. We are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of the aforementioned forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because management cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of such GAAP measures. Historically, management has excluded the following items from certain of these non-GAAP measures, and such items may also be excluded in future periods and could be significant amounts.
- Expenses related to the acquisition or divestiture of a business, including business development costs, impairment of assets, integration costs, severance, retention costs and transaction costs;
- Start-up costs of new facilities and equipment;
- Charges associated with restructuring and cost saving initiatives, including but not limited to asset impairments, accelerated depreciation, severance costs and lease abandonment charges;
- Asset impairment charges and facility closure costs;
- Legal settlements or awards; and
- The tax effect of the above items.

Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted Gross Margin
The Company uses a measure of adjusted gross margin to evaluate the underlying profitability of its revenue-generating activities within each reporting period. This non-GAAP measure excludes non-capitalizable start-up costs included in cost of goods sold that are incurred in connection with capital expansion projects. Start-up costs have had a significant impact on the comparability of reported gross margins, which may obscure trends in the Company's margin performance. Additionally, the Company's measure of adjusted gross margin may exclude other unusual items that are identified and evaluated on an individual basis, which due to their nature or size, the Company would not expect to occur as part of its normal business on a regular basis. The Company believes that disclosing this non-GAAP measure provides investors with a meaningful, consistent comparison of its profitability measure for the periods presented. However, the non-GAAP measure of adjusted gross margin should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for gross margin calculated based on gross profit determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The following table presents a reconciliation of adjusted gross margin from reported gross margin calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(a) |
Represents incremental direct costs incurred in connection with plant expansion projects and new product introductions before the project or product reaches normal production levels, including costs for the hiring and training of additional personnel, fees for outside services, travel costs, and plant- and production-related expenses. For the second quarter and first two quarters of 2024, start-up costs of $3.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively, recorded in costs of goods sold include haul-off charges for excess wastewater produced at our plant-based beverage facility in Midlothian, Texas, as we continue to scale up production, together with start-up costs for a new high-speed edge line and short-term incremental investments to accelerate process improvements. In addition, start-up costs for the second quarter and first two quarters of 2024, include the ramp-up of oat-base extraction operations at our Modesto, California, facility. For the second quarter and first two quarters of 2023, start-up costs of $5.8 million and 11.6 million, respectively, included in cost of goods sold mainly related to the initial ramp-up of production at our Midlothian, Texas, facility, and the addition of a high-speed packaging line at our fruit snacks facility in Omak, Washington. |

|
(b) |
In the second quarter of 2024, we conducted a voluntary withdrawal from customers of certain batches of aseptically-packaged products that may have the potential for non-pathogenic microbial contamination. None of the withdrawn product made it into the consumer marketplace. For the second quarter, we recognized direct costs related to the withdrawal of $2.1 million, net of expected insurance recoveries, which included finished goods inventory write-offs, product return and logistic costs, and costs related to investigative and remedial actions taken in response to the withdrawal, which corrective actions have been completed. These charges are incremental to our normal course reserves and have had a significant unfavorable impact on our reported gross profit and gross margin for the second quarter of 2024. |
Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides additional information about its operating results regarding adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") from continuing operations, which are not measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company believes that adjusted earnings and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations assist investors in comparing performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that management believes are not indicative of the Company's operating performance. These non-GAAP measures are presented solely to allow investors to more fully assess the Company's results of operations and should not be considered in isolation of, or as substitutes for, an analysis of the Company's results as reported under U.S. GAAP.
The following are tabular presentations of adjusted earnings and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, including a reconciliation from earnings (loss) from continuing operations, which the Company believes to be the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.
