    • Net Revenue increased 22.2% to $166.0 million on a reported basis, compared to $135.8 million, and increased 30% on a like-for-like basis when accounting for one fewer week in the fourth quarter of 2024 (13 weeks) versus the fourth quarter of 2023 (14 weeks)

    • Net Income per Diluted Share of $0.23, compared to $0.17
    • Adjusted EBITDA of $19.1 million, compared to $13.9 million1

    Financial highlights for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024 (52 weeks), compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (53 weeks), include:

    • Net Revenue increased 28.5% to $606.3 million, compared to $471.9 million

    "2024 was an outstanding year for Vital Farms. We exceeded $600 million in net revenue, keeping us well on track to deliver our $1 billion sales target by 2027. We also added approximately 125 new family farms, and our farm network at the end of 2024 totaled more than 425, with more on the way. We accomplished these milestones while investing in the Vital Farms brand and expanding our supply chain capabilities to ensure future growth. We could not have done this without our great stakeholders, including our crew members, our farmers, and our customers, and I'd like to thank them for their dedication to bringing ethical food to the table. Industry supply will remain under pressure to start the year due to the impact of HPAI on poultry flocks across the United States. We have experienced supply constraints to start the year. However, as the year progresses, we believe the supply chain investments we made in 2024 and into 2025 will begin bearing fruit. We expect our business to accelerate in the second half of the year as we add to our supply, helping drive us toward our ambitious net revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2025 and beyond," said Russell Diez-Canseco, Vital Farms' President and CEO.

    1Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined in the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below and is reconciled to net income, its closest comparable GAAP measure, at the end of this release.
     

    For the 13 Weeks Ended December 29, 2024

    Net revenue increased 22.2% to $166.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $135.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Net revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 2024 was driven by volume-related revenue growth of $19 million and price/mix benefits. Volume growth was driven by higher velocities on our current products, new offerings, and retail distribution gains with new and current customers.

    The extra week in the fourth quarter of 2023, which was 14 weeks compared to 13 weeks in the fourth quarter of 2024, contributed $8.5 million of 2023 net revenue. Excluding the extra week, net revenue increased 30% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

    Gross profit was $59.9 million, or 36.1% of net revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $45.2 million, or 33.3% of net revenue, in the prior year quarter. Gross profit and gross margin growth was driven by higher net revenue, scale and price/mix benefits, operational efficiencies, and favorable conventional commodity and diesel costs. This was partially offset by increased investment in crew members to keep pace with company growth.

    Income from operations in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $13.0 million, compared to income from operations of $9.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. This performance was driven by higher sales and gross profit, partially offset by higher promotions and personnel and marketing investments.

    Net income was $10.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to net income of $7.2 million in the prior year quarter. The rise in net income was driven by higher sales and improved gross profit performance.

    Net income per diluted share was $0.23 for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to net income per diluted share of $0.17 in the prior year quarter.

    Adjusted EBITDA was $19.1 million, or 11.5% of net revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $13.9 million, or 10.2% of net revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA growth was driven by higher sales and gross profit, partially offset by new investments in marketing and employee-related expenses as we continue to scale a world-class organization.

    The extra week in the fourth quarter of 2023, which was 14 weeks compared to 13 weeks in the fourth quarter of 2024, contributed $0.9 million of 2023 Adjusted EBITDA.

    Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain non-cash items. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined in the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below and is reconciled to net income, its closest comparable GAAP measure, at the end of this release.

    For the 52 Weeks Ended December 29, 2024

    Net revenue increased 28.5% to $606.3 million in fiscal year 2024, compared to $471.9 million in fiscal year 2023. Net revenue growth in fiscal year 2024 was driven by volume-related increases of $103.0 million and price/mix benefits. Volume growth was driven by both new and current customers. When accounting for an extra week in the fourth quarter of 2023, 14 weeks in versus 13 in the fourth quarter of 2024, like-for-like sales grew 31%.

    Gross profit was $229.9 million, or 37.9% of net revenue in fiscal year 2024, compared to $162.3 million, or 34.4% of net revenue, in 2023. Gross profit and gross margin growth was driven by higher net revenue, scale and price/mix benefits, operational efficiencies, and favorable conventional commodity and diesel costs. This was partially offset by an increase in trade as a percentage of gross revenue.

    Income from operations in fiscal year 2024 was $63.6 million, compared to income from operations of $33.3 million in fiscal year 2023. This performance was driven by higher sales and gross profit, partially offset by higher promotions and personnel and marketing investments.

    Net income was $53.4 million in fiscal year 2024, compared to net income of $25.6 million in the prior year. The rise in net income was driven by higher sales and improved gross profit performance.

    Net income per diluted share was $1.18 for fiscal year 2024, compared to net income per diluted share of $0.59 in the prior year.

    Adjusted EBITDA was $86.7 million, or 14.3% of net revenue, in fiscal year 2024, compared to $48.3 million, or 10.2% of net revenue, in fiscal year 2023. Adjusted EBITDA growth was driven by higher sales and gross profit, partially offset by new investments in marketing and employee-related expenses as we continue to scale a world-class organization.

    The extra week in fiscal year 2023, which was 53 weeks compared to 52 weeks in fiscal year 2024, contributed $0.9 million of 2023 Adjusted EBITDA.

    Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain non-cash items. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined in the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below and is reconciled to net income, its closest comparable GAAP measure, at the end of this release.

    Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

    Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $160.3 million as of December 29, 2024, and we had no outstanding debt. Net cash provided by operating activities was $64.8 million for the 52-week period ended December 29, 2024, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $50.9 million for the 53-week period ended December 31, 2023.

    Capital expenditures totaled $28.6 million in the 52-week period ended December 29, 2024, compared to $11.5 million in the 53-week period ended December 31, 2023. Our full-year capital expenditures were below our guidance for 2024 as we extended some capital spending into 2025.

    Fiscal 2025 Outlook

    Thilo Wrede, Vital Farms' Chief Financial Officer, commented: "Boosted by high consumer demand for Vital Farms products and a favorable commodity cost environment, we delivered another strong financial performance in 2024. Looking ahead, I am pleased to announce our financial guidance for 2025. Our outlook for 2025 reflects our expectation that we will continue to be supply constrained early in the year, but we expect those constraints to ease into the second half as we benefit from new family farms coming online and our new washing and packing line at our Egg Central Station facility in Springfield, Missouri becoming operational in the fourth quarter of 2025. We will continue to invest in our brands and our supply chain capabilities as we target $1 billion in sales by 2027." 

    For the fiscal year 2025, we expect:

    • Net revenue of at least $740 million, which represents at least 22% growth versus fiscal year 2024.
    • Adjusted EBITDA of at least $100 million, which represents at least 15% growth versus fiscal year 2024.
    • Capital expenditure for the full year in the range of $50 million to $60 million. This reflects planned investments in the new washing and packing line at Egg Central Station in Missouri, our planned new egg washing and packing facility, accelerator farms, and the Digital Transformation project that we expect to go live in the second half 2025. We continue to evaluate our capital allocation priorities, and we will provide updates as necessary in future earnings reports.

    Vital Farms' guidance assumes that there are no significant disruptions to the supply chain or its customers or consumers, including any issues from adverse macroeconomic factors. Vital Farms cannot provide a reconciliation between its forecasted Adjusted EBITDA and net income and Adjusted EBITDA Margin and net income margin, their most directly comparable GAAP measures, without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for income taxes, among other items. These items are not within our control and may vary greatly between periods and could significantly impact future financial results.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, non-GAAP financial measures, provide investors with additional useful information in evaluating our performance.

    Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are financial measures that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, when taken together with our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance and facilitate internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations or outlook. In particular, we believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are helpful to our investors as they are measures used by management in assessing the health of our business, determining incentive compensation and evaluating our operating performance, as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes.

    We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income, adjusted to exclude: (1) depreciation and amortization; (2) stock-based compensation expense; (3) (benefit) or provision for income taxes as applicable; (4) interest expense; and (5) interest income. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net Revenue.

    Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin include that (1) they do not properly reflect capital commitments to be paid in the future, (2) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect these capital expenditures, (3) they do not consider the impact of stock-based compensation expense, (4) they do not reflect other non-operating expenses, including interest expense; and (5) they do not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us. In addition, our use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in the same manner, limiting the usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, when evaluating our performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin alongside other financial measures, including our net income and other results stated in accordance with GAAP.

    The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA Margin to net income margin, the most directly comparable financial measures stated in accordance with GAAP, for the 13-week, 14-week, 52-week and 53-week periods presented.
