Continued Progress on Value Creation Plan Initiatives
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
SunOpta Inc. ("SunOpta") (Nasdaq:STKL) (TSX:SOY), a leading global
company focused on organic, non-genetically modified and specialty
foods, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended
July 1, 2017.
"This quarter marks another important step in SunOpta's journey. Through
our Value Creation Plan we have brought intense focus to the
organization on our strategic direction, and our leadership team has
been upgraded and is fully engaged. With these foundational aspects in
place, during the second quarter the Company was able to become fully
engrossed in the actions that support the Value Creation Plan, which we
expect will ultimately lead to sustainable, profitable results," said
David Colo, Chief Executive Officer. "This quarter saw us take
meaningful action against all four pillars of our Value Creation Plan,
including sharpening our portfolio focus by announcing the exit from
re-sealable pouch products, improving our operational execution via the
implementation of safety, quality and productivity programs, enhancing
our go-to-market effectiveness via the build-out of a new food service
distribution network, and ensuring the benefit of these efforts are
sustainable via process and systems improvements."
All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars and results are reported in
accordance with U.S. GAAP, except where specifically noted.
Second Quarter 2017 Highlights:
-
Revenues of $336.5 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared to
$348.1 million in the second quarter of 2016, a decrease of 3.4%.
-
Gross profit of $41.7 million or 12.4% of revenues for the second
quarter of 2017, versus $36.0 million or 10.3% of revenues in the
second quarter of 2016. Excluding expenses in cost of goods sold that
factor into adjusted earnings¹, the gross profit percentage in the
second quarter of 2017 increased 100 basis points to 12.5% compared to
11.5% in the second quarter of 2016.
-
Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $19.4 million or 5.8% of revenues for the second
quarter of 2017, versus $23.5 million or 6.7% of revenues in the
second quarter of 2016.
-
Loss from continuing operations of $0.4 million or $0.03 per diluted
common share in the second quarter of 2017, compared to a loss from
continuing operations of $4.1 million or $0.05 per diluted common
share in the second quarter of 2016.
-
Adjusted loss from continuing operations¹ of $0.7 million or $0.01 per
diluted common share during the second quarter of 2017, compared to
adjusted earnings¹ of $4.1 million or $0.05 per diluted common share
during the second quarter of 2016.
Value Creation Plan Update
As part of the Company's commitment to deliver long-term value to its
shareholders, in early 2017 it launched its Value Creation Plan. The
Company is targeting implementation of $30 million of
productivity-driven annualized enhancements of EBITDA in the first phase
of the plan, to be implemented over 2017 and 2018. For 2017 these EBITDA
benefits will be offset by expenses associated with the Value Creation
Plan, including structural investments made in the areas of quality,
sales, marketing, operations and engineering resources, as well as
non-structural third-party consulting support, severance and recruiting
costs. The plan also calls for increased investment in capital upgrades
at several manufacturing facilities to enhance food safety and
manufacturing efficiencies. Over time, these investments are expected to
yield additional improvement in EBITDA beyond the $30 million of initial
productivity-driven savings. For the second quarter of 2017, the Company
made progress against each of the four pillars of its Value Creation
Plan and believes it is on track to achieve targeted productivity
enhancements, while continuing to make the necessary structural
investments it believes will accelerate growth and drive long-term
value. Recent progress on each of the four pillars of the Value Creation
Plan is highlighted below.
Portfolio Optimization
The focus of the portfolio optimization pillar is to simplify the
business, investing where structural advantages exist, while exiting
businesses or product lines where the Company is not effectively
positioned. Recent highlights include:
-
Announced the discontinuation of flexible re-sealable pouch products
along with an agreement to sell the associated pouch equipment for
$2.0 million, which is expected to close during the fourth quarter of
2017.
-
Initiated a plan to consolidate certain soy and specialty grain volume
and close an under-utilized facility to enhance facility utilization
and reduce operating costs.
-
Purchased the remaining 25% minority interest stake in the Company's
Mexican frozen fruit operations and broke ground on an expansion
project to add incremental freezing capacity, storage, and retail
bagging capabilities to the Mexican frozen fruit facility.
-
Approved plans to increase capabilities at sunflower operations in
both North America and Europe, as well as a capacity expansion at the
speciality cocoa processing facility in the Netherlands.
Since the initiation of the Value Creation Plan, the Company has
implemented portfolio changes that are expected to yield $4.2 million of
annualized EBITDA benefits.
Operational Excellence
The focus of the operational excellence pillar is to ensure food quality
and safety, coupled with improved operational performance and
efficiency. These efforts are expected to generate productivity
improvements and cost savings in manufacturing, procurement and
logistics. Recent highlights include:
-
Launched "SunOpta 360", initially across the network of aseptic
beverage facilities, establishing a sustainable continuous improvement
methodology for the Company.
-
Enhanced food safety and quality across the manufacturing platform via
the roll-out of new processes and systems.
-
Continued to identify and implement productivity initiatives focusing
on manufacturing efficiencies, purchasing synergies and effective
freight management.
-
Initiated rapid recovery plans to resolve performance issues at
certain consumer product manufacturing facilities which, during the
first half of 2017, have partially consumed the benefit driven from
other productivity initiatives.
Since the initiation of the Value Creation Plan, the Company has
implemented process improvements and cost savings that are expected to
yield $3.1 million of annualized EBITDA benefits.
Go-To-Market Effectiveness
The focus of the go-to-market effectiveness pillar is to optimize
customer and product mix in existing sales channels, and identify and
penetrate new high-potential sales channels. The Company expects efforts
under this pillar to improve revenue growth and profitability over time.
Recent highlights include:
-
Completed the creation of a new food service distribution network,
leveraging third parties, which will support the Company's plan to
grow and diversify penetration into the food service channel.
-
Continued to attract and hire new commercial talent in the areas of
sales, marketing and R&D which has furthered the development of
control branded products that are expected to enhance access to the
food service channel.
-
Increased the pipeline of commercial opportunities across the
beverage, fruit and snack categories.
Since the initiation of the Value Creation Plan, the Company has
implemented go-to-market improvements through strategic pricing actions
that are expected to yield $2.0 million of annualized EBITDA benefits.
Process Sustainability
The focus of the process sustainability pillar is to ensure the Company
has the infrastructure, systems and skills to sustain the business
improvements and value captured from the Value Creation Plan. Broadening
the skillset and experience of SunOpta's leadership team is a critical
component to the process sustainability pillar of the Value Creation
Plan. Recent highlights include:
-
Completed the onboarding of key senior leaders and continued to add
new talent in areas of sales and marketing, engineering, supply chain
and procurement.
-
Further maturation of the sales and operations planning (S&OP)
processes which were kicked off in the first quarter resulting in
improved customer service levels.
-
Continued enhancements to ERP systems in consumer products facilities.
Second Quarter 2017 Results
Revenues for the second quarter of 2017 were $336.5 million, a decrease
of 3.4% compared to $348.1 million in the second quarter of 2016.
Excluding the impact on revenues for the second quarter of 2017 of
changes in commodity-related pricing, foreign exchange rates and the
impact on west coast pouch operations as a result of a fire at a
third-party facility, revenues in the second quarter of 2017 decreased
by 0.6% compared with the second quarter of 2016.
The Consumer Products segment generated revenues from external customers
of $187.0 million during the second quarter of 2017, a decrease of 1.4%
compared to $189.6 million in the second quarter of 2016. Excluding the
impact of the fire at a third-party facility, revenues in Consumer
Products decreased 0.2% compared to the second quarter of 2016. The
revenue decline was driven by reduced sales of retail packaged frozen
fruit and aseptic beverage products, partially offset by increased
beverage sales into the food service channel, as well as higher
refrigerated juice and specialty bar sales.
The Global Ingredients segment generated revenues from external
customers of $149.4 million, a decline of 5.7% compared to $158.5
million in the second quarter of 2016. Excluding the impact on revenues
of changes in commodity-related pricing and foreign exchange rates,
Global Ingredients revenue decreased 1.2% in the second quarter of 2017,
compared with the second quarter of 2016. The revenue decline reflected
lower volumes of raw and roasted sunflower products, lower crop input
sales due to a reduction in contracted acres and lower specialty
ingredient sales partially offset by increased sales of non-GMO soy.
Gross profit was $41.7 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared
to $36.0 million for the second quarter of 2016. As a percentage of
revenues, gross profit for the second quarter of 2017 was 12.4% compared
to 10.3% in the second quarter of 2016. The gross profit percentage for
the second quarter of 2017 would have been approximately 12.5%,
excluding $0.3 million of costs related to plant closure and other
transition expenses, as compared to an adjusted gross profit percentage
of 11.5% in the second quarter of 2016. The improvement in gross margin
reflected operational savings from the closure of the San Bernardino
juice facility, improved productivity across the frozen fruit network
and favorable foreign exchange impact on purchase contracts for organic
raw materials. These factors were partially offset by reduced
operational efficiencies in our sunflower and roasting operations due to
lower customer demand following the recall.
Operating income¹ was $2.6 million, or 0.8% of revenues, compared to
operating income of $8.8 million, or 2.5% of revenues in the second
quarter of 2016. The decrease in operating income year-over-year is
primarily attributable to increased structural and non-structural costs
associated with the execution of the Value Creation Plan. The operating
income percentage for the second quarter of 2017 would have been
approximately 3.0%, excluding $7.0 million of non-structural third-party
consulting costs, employee recruitment, relocation and retention costs,
and the costs discussed above that impacted costs of sales, all incurred
in relation to the Value Creation Plan.
Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $19.4 million or 5.8% of revenues in the second
quarter of 2017, compared to $23.5 million or 6.8% of revenues in the
second quarter of 2016.
The Company reported a net loss from continuing operations for the
second quarter of 2017 of $0.4 million, or $0.03 per common share,
compared to a loss from continuing operations of $4.1 million, or $0.05
per diluted common share during the second quarter of 2016. Adjusted
loss¹ from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2017 was $0.7
million or $0.01 per diluted common share, compared to adjusted
earnings¹ of $4.1 million or $0.01 per diluted common share in the
second quarter of 2016. Please refer to the discussion and table below
under "Non-GAAP Measures - Adjusted Earnings".
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
At July 1, 2017, SunOpta's balance sheet reflected total assets of
$1,149.8 million and total debt of $467.7 million. Cash used in
operating activities was $6.3 million in the first half of 2017,
compared to cash used in operating activities from continuing operations
of $52.3 million in the first half of 2016. The $46.0 million decrease
in cash used in operating activities was driven by less cash used to
fund working capital, due in part to liquidity optimization efforts
undertaken as part of the Value Creation Plan. Working capital
requirements are seasonal, and the Company expects to see working
capital decrease over the second half of 2017. At July 1, 2017, leverage
was approximately 6.1 times Adjusted EBITDA¹ on a trailing four quarter
adjusted basis, after eliminating the negative impact on EBITDA from the
San Bernardino juice facility.

Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP,
the Company provides information regarding segment operating income,
Adjusted earnings, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization ("EBITDA"), and Adjusted EBITDA as additional information
about its operating results, which are not measures in accordance with
U.S. GAAP. We believe that segment operating income and Adjusted
earnings assist investors in comparing performance across reporting
periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that are not indicative
of the Company's core operating performance. We use EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA when assessing the performance of the Company's operations and
its ability to generate cash flows to fund its cash requirements,
including debt service and capital expenditures. The non-GAAP measures
of segment operating income, Adjusted earnings, EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
performance measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
In order to evaluate the Company's results of operations, we use certain
other non-GAAP measures that we believe enhance an investor's ability to
derive meaningful year-over-year comparisons and trends from the results
of operations. In particular, we evaluate the Company's revenues on a
basis that excludes the effects of fluctuations in commodity pricing and
foreign exchange rates. In addition, we exclude specific items from the
Company's reported results that due to their nature or size, we do not
expect to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis. These
items are identified in the tables below. These non-GAAP measures are

results of operations and should not considered in isolation of, or as
substitutes for an analysis of the Company's results as reported under
U.S. GAAP.
Adjusted Earnings/Loss
When assessing our financial performance, we use an internal measure
that excludes the results of discontinued operations, as well as other
charges and gains that we believe are not reflective of normal
operations. This information is provided to allow investors to make
meaningful comparisons of the Company's operating performance between
periods and to view the Company's business from the same perspective as
Company management. Adjusted earnings/loss and Adjusted earnings/loss
per diluted share should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with U.S.
GAAP.
The following is a tabular presentation of Adjusted earnings/loss and
Adjusted earnings/loss per diluted share, including a reconciliation
from loss from continuing operations, which the Company believes to be
the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.
