Management Commentary
“We are pleased with the progress we’ve made, as we showed sequential improvement in gross profit, EPS, and adjusted EBITDA during the second quarter,” said Brian W. Kocher, President and Chief Executive Officer of Calavo Growers, Inc. “I’m especially pleased with the improvements made in our RFG segment where Project Uno initiatives have delivered positive impacts in our pricing, raw materials management, labor efficiency and transportation costs.“Our mantra is ‘Be better today than yesterday; be better tomorrow than today.’ We therefore intend to continue delivering incremental progress. The Calavo team has fully embraced this mindset, and the efforts are demonstrating results.
“We streamlined our organizational structure to bring clarity to decision-making authorities and become even more efficient initiating continuous improvement. We enhanced processes and structure, and we are acquiring the talent to serve our customers and ensure that Project Uno efforts are sustainable. I remain confident in our ability to bring Calavo back to a position of generating improved, sustainable financial results and long-term shareholder value.”
Second Quarter 2022 Consolidated Financial Review
Total revenue for the second quarter 2022 was $331.4 million, compared to $276.8 million for the second quarter 2021, an increase of 20%. Fresh segment sales increased 30%, RFG sales grew 6%, and Foods sales decreased 4%. The average selling price of avocados in the Company’s Fresh segment increased by 70% while volumes were 13% lower than the prior-year period due to lower available supplies.Gross profit for the second quarter was $21.7 million, or 6.6% of revenue, compared to $22.6 million, or 8.2% of revenue, for the same period last year. Improvements in avocado margin in the quarter were offset by higher fruit costs in our Foods business.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second quarter totaled $16.6 million, or 5.0% of revenue, compared to $13.7 million, or 4.9% of revenue, for the same period last year. SG&A expenses were largely in line with expectations, with the year-over-year increase primarily driven by approximately $2 million in expenses related to the business reorganization.
Net loss for the second quarter was $(0.2) million, or $(0.01) per share. This compares with net income of $8.8 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the same period last year.
Adjusted net income was $5.8 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $7.7 million, or $0.43 per diluted share last year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $12.7 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, compared to $15.0 million, or $0.85 per diluted share for the same period last year.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
The Company ended the quarter with $48.1 million of total debt, which included $41.9 million of borrowings under its line of credit and $6.2 million of long-term obligations and finance leases. Cash and cash equivalents (unrestricted) totaled $2.3 million as of April 30, 2022.In the second quarter, the Company reached an agreement with its lenders to amend the existing revolving credit facility, which among other things reduces the total capacity of the facility to $80.0 million and incorporates a borrowing base. Under the new terms of the facility, total liquidity as of April 30, 2022 was $15.9 million, including unrestricted cash, investments, and availability under the facility, which we believe is sufficient for our working capital needs and investment plans as we continue the implementation of Project Uno and drive performance improvements across the business.
Second Quarter Business Segment Performance
Fresh
Second quarter 2022 sales in Calavo’s Fresh business segment were $211.0 million, up from $161.7 million for the same period last year. Avocado prices were 70% higher year-over-year and volume 13% lower, which is consistent with the reduction in imports from Mexico for the entire US market. Fresh segment gross profit for the second quarter of 2022 was $18.2 million, or 8.6% of segment sales, compared to $15.0 million, or 9.3% of segment sales, for the same period last year. The increase in gross profit primarily was driven by the higher avocado pricing, partially offset by the lower volume.Renaissance Food Group (RFG)
RFG business segment sales in the second quarter of 2022 were $102.2 million, up 6% from $96.3 million in the same period last year reflecting price increases and favorable product mix, partially offset by a slight volume decrease year-over-year. Segment gross profit was $2.2 million, down slightly from $2.3 million the same period last year. RFG has benefited from increased pricing, improved transportation costs, enhanced materials yield and labor management.Foods
Sales in the Foods segment totaled $19.8 million for the second quarter 2022, 4% lower than $20.7 million in the same period last year due to limited supply of fruit. Segment gross profit totaled $1.3 million, or 6.8% of sales, for the second quarter, compared to $5.3 million, or 25.6% of sales, for the same period last year. The decrease in gross profit for the second quarter was mainly due to year-over-year increases in fruit costs. We have been implementing price increases, raw product sourcing initiatives, labor productivity projects and freight consolidation to offset these increased costs. We expect to see benefits from these efforts continue in coming quarters.Outlook
Calavo is conducting a search for a new chief financial officer and is working with an outside search firm and within professional networks to identify candidates. Interviews are underway, and we are moving with speed; however, finding the right person is our primary goal.We are enthusiastic about sequential results given our Project Uno efforts, and we are optimistic that we will see ongoing profit improvement from our efforts in the third and fourth quarters, with the third quarter as our typically strongest quarter due to seasonality.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes non-GAAP measures such as EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS, which are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or “GAAP.”EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Calavo Growers, Inc. excluding (1) interest income and expense, (2) income tax (benefit) provision, (3) depreciation and amortization and (4) stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA with further adjustments for (1) non-cash net losses recognized from unconsolidated entities, (2) goodwill impairment, (3) write-off of long-lived assets, (4) acquisition-related costs, (5) restructuring-related costs, including certain severance costs, (6) certain litigation and other related costs, and (7) one-time items. Adjusted EBITDA is a primary metric by which management evaluates the operating performance of the business, on which certain operating expenditures and internal budgets are based. Additionally, the Company’s senior management is compensated in part on the basis of Adjusted EBITDA. The adjustments to calculate EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are items recognized and recorded under GAAP in particular periods but might be viewed as not necessarily coinciding with the underlying business operations for the periods in which they are so recognized and recorded.
Adjusted net income is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Calavo Growers, Inc. excluding (1) non-cash net losses recognized from unconsolidated entities, (2) goodwill impairment, (3) write-off of long-lived assets, (4) acquisition-related costs, (5) restructuring-related costs, including certain severance costs, (6) certain litigation and other related costs, and (7) one-time items. Adjusted net income and the related measure of adjusted diluted EPS exclude certain items that are recognized and recorded under GAAP in particular periods but might be viewed as not necessarily coinciding with the underlying business operations for the periods in which they are so recognized and recorded. We believe adjusted net income affords investors a different view of the overall financial performance of the Company than adjusted EBITDA and the GAAP measure of net income (loss) attributable to Calavo Growers, Inc.
Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the financial tables that accompany this release.
Items are considered one-time in nature if they are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual and have not occurred in the past two years or are not expected to recur in the next two years, in accordance with SEC rules. One-time items are identified in the notes to the reconciliations in the financial tables that accompany this release.
Non-GAAP information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for, or superior to, any measure of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. None of these metrics are presented as measures of liquidity. The way the Company measures EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies and may not be identical to corresponding measures used in Company agreements.
