TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
SunOpta Inc. (“SunOpta” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:STKL) (TSX:SOY), a leading global company focused on plant-based foods and beverages, fruit-based foods and beverages, and organic ingredient sourcing and production, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 26, 2020.
All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars and results are reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, except where specifically noted.
Third Quarter 2020 Highlights:
-
Revenues of $315.0 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $295.9 million in the third quarter of 2019, an increase of 6.4%. Adjusted for foreign exchange and commodity prices, revenues grew by 5.4%.
-
Gross margin increased 440 basis points to 13.3% from 8.9% in the prior year.
-
Earnings attributable to common shareholders was a loss of $2.8 million or $0.03 per diluted common share in the third quarter of 2020, compared to a loss of $13.8 million or $0.16 per diluted common share in the third quarter of 2019.
-
Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $22.8 million, or 7.2% of revenues for the third quarter of 2020, versus $9.9 million or 3.4% of revenues in the third quarter of 2019.
“A 6.4% increase in revenue combined with our best gross margin percentage in over eight years, produced a 129% gain in adjusted EBITDA versus the prior year. We are proud of the fact that we have doubled adjusted EBITDA four quarters in a row. With this accomplishment as a backdrop, and the momentum we feel we have going forward, we believe it is safe to say that SunOpta is no longer a turnaround story, we are quite simply a sustainable growth story. We are having a great year. For three consecutive quarters, all three of our business segments have delivered topline growth and margin expansion, led once again by the very strong performance of our plant-based business unit. The execution of our plan is showing in our results, and we are investing for future growth to ensure consistent, sustainable results,” said Joe Ennen, Chief Executive Officer of SunOpta. “Consumer demand in our core categories continues to be impressive. Our focus and investment in plant-based foods continues to be a source of strength and recent investments that come on-line during the fourth quarter set us up for continued strong growth over the coming years. With a strong pipeline of new business opportunities, strong consumer demand and a continued focus on execution, we are confident in our ability to continue to drive growth and shareholder value.”
Third Quarter 2020 Results
Revenues for the third quarter of 2020 were $315.0 million, an increase of 6.4% compared to $295.9 million in the third quarter of 2019. Excluding the impact of changes in commodity-related pricing and foreign exchange rates, revenues in the third quarter of 2020 increased by 5.4% compared with the third quarter of 2019.
The Global Ingredients segment generated revenues of $123.3 million, an increase of 8.8% compared to $113.4 million in the third quarter of 2019. Excluding the impact of changes in commodity-related pricing and foreign exchange rates, Global Ingredients revenue in the third quarter of 2020 increased 8.3% compared to the prior year period, which reflected higher volumes in certain organic ingredient product categories and for premium juice products.
The Plant-Based Foods and Beverages segment generated revenues of $99.0 million during the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 7.9% compared to $91.8 million in the third quarter of 2019. Excluding sunflower commodity price variances, Plant-Based segment revenues in the third quarter increased 6.6% compared to the prior year period, reflecting higher volumes of aseptic beverages, broth offerings, and ingredient extraction, partially offset by reduced sales volumes of plant-based beverage products to foodservice customers as a result of COVID-19 and lower sales of sunflower seeds.
The Fruit-Based Foods and Beverages segment generated revenues of $92.6 million during the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 2.0% compared to $90.8 million in the third quarter of 2019. Excluding the impact of commodity price fluctuations, Fruit-Based segment revenues in the third quarter increased 0.7% compared to the prior year period, primarily reflecting increased retail volumes of fruit snacks and frozen fruit, partially offset by lower foodservice demand for frozen fruit and fruit preparations as a result of COVID-19.
Gross profit was $41.9 million for the quarter ended September 26, 2020, an increase of $15.6 million compared to $26.3 million for the quarter ended September 28, 2019. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit for the quarter ended September 26, 2020 was 13.3% compared to 8.9% for the quarter ended September 28, 2019, an increase of 440 basis points. The Fruit-Based Foods and Beverages segment increased gross profit by $9.1 million (+990 basis points) in the quarter, reflecting increased sales, pricing, a favorable sales mix of higher-margin retail versus foodservice sales and higher yields and throughput resulting from the automation and productivity initiatives implemented in our frozen fruit manufacturing facilities. This was partially offset by lower sales volumes and plant utilization for fruit ingredients. The Plant-Based Foods and Beverages segment accounted for $3.4 million of the increase in gross profit (+210 basis points), primarily due to higher sales and production volumes of plant-based beverages, broths and plant-based ingredients, and improved plant utilization and productivity-driven cost savings, partially offset by lower sales volumes and plant utilization within the sunflower and roasting operations. The Global Ingredients segment accounted for $3.1 million of the increased gross profit (+160 basis points) in the quarter primarily due to increased sales, pricing spreads and higher-margin product mix for certain organic ingredients, manufacturing efficiencies and throughput increases for cocoa and sunflower ingredients, and higher pricing and lower production costs for premium juice products, partially offset by lower margin sales to reduce inventory positions in certain organic ingredients, an unfavorable cocoa commodity hedging result, and manufacturing inefficiencies related to organic avocado oil production.
Segment operating income¹ was $9.4 million, or 3.0% of revenues in the third quarter of 2020, compared to operating loss of $3.5 million, or 1.2% of revenues in the third quarter of 2019. The increase in operating income year-over-year was primarily attributable to the $15.6 million increase in gross profit, partially offset by a year-over-year $1.6 million increase in SG&A primarily related to higher employee-related variable compensation and benefit costs, and increased reserves for credit losses due to weaker economic conditions, partially offset by the benefit from headcount reductions and other cost savings measures taken in 2019, together with lower travel and marketing costs.
Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $22.8 million or 7.2% of revenues in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $9.9 million or 3.4% of revenues in the third quarter of 2019.
The Company reported a loss attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2020 of $2.8 million, or $0.03 per diluted common share, compared to a loss of $13.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted common share for the third quarter of 2019.
Adjusted loss¹ in the third quarter of 2020 was $1.3 million or $0.01 per common share, compared to an adjusted loss of $9.9 million or $0.11 per common share in the third quarter of 2019. Please refer to the discussion and table below under “Non-GAAP Measures - Adjusted Earnings/Loss”.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
At September 26, 2020, SunOpta’s balance sheet reflected total assets of $921.4 million and total debt of $443.8 million. During the third quarter of 2020, cash generated by operating activities was $20.2 million, compared to $4.3 million during the third quarter of 2019. The $15.9 million improvement in operating cash flow primarily reflects the improved year-over-year operating results. Cash used in investing activities in the third quarter of 2020 was $11.8 million, compared with $7.6 million in the third quarter of 2019, an increase in cash used of $4.2 million, mainly related to the expansion of plant-based manufacturing capacity.

Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides additional information about its operating results regarding segment operating income, adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), which are not measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company believes that segment operating income, adjusted earnings and adjusted EBITDA assist investors in comparing performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that are not indicative of its operating performance. The non-GAAP measures of segment operating income, adjusted earnings 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 its results of operations, the Company uses certain other non-GAAP measures that it believes enhance an investor’s ability to derive meaningful period-over-period comparisons and trends from the results of operations. In particular, the Company evaluates its revenues on a basis that excludes the effects of fluctuations in commodity pricing and foreign exchange rates, and the impacts of acquired or disposed operations. In addition, the Company excludes specific items from its reported results that due to their nature or size, it does not expect to occur as part of its normal business on a regular basis. These items are identified in the tables below. 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.
Adjusted Loss
When assessing its financial performance, the Company uses an internal measure that excludes charges and gains that it believes 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 the Company’s management. Adjusted loss and adjusted 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 loss and adjusted loss per diluted share, including a reconciliation from net earnings/loss, which the Company believes to be the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. In addition, in recognition of the sale of the soy and corn business in the first quarter of 2019, the Company has prepared these tables in a columnar format to present the effect of the disposal of these operations on the Company’s consolidated results for the comparative periods. The Company believes this presentation assists investors in assessing the results of the operations the Company has disposed and the effect of those operations on its financial performance.

Segment Operating Income/Loss and Adjusted EBITDA
The Company defines segment operating income/loss as net earnings/loss before income taxes, interest expense and other income/expense items, and adjusted EBITDA as segment operating income/loss plus depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, and other unusual items that affect the comparability of operating performance as identified above in the determination of adjusted loss. The following is a tabular presentation of segment operating income/loss and adjusted EBITDA, including a reconciliation to net earnings/loss, which the Company believes to be the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. In addition, as with adjusted loss presented above, the Company has prepared these tables in a columnar format to present the effect of the disposals of the soy and corn business on the Company’s consolidated results for the comparative periods. The Company believes this presentation assists investors in assessing the results of the operations the Company has disposed and the effect of those operations on its financial performance.
