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.
