Provides Fiscal Year 2024 Outlook

AUSTIN, TX – March 7, 2024 Vital Farms (Nasdaq: VITL), a Certified B Corporation that offers a range of ethically produced foods nationwide, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter (14 weeks) and fiscal year (53 weeks) ended December 31, 2023.

Net Revenue increased 23.4% to $135.8 million, compared to $110.1 million. Excluding the extra week in the fourth quarter, Net Revenue increased 15.7%.
Net Income of $7.2 million, compared to $1.9 million.
Net Income per Diluted Share of $0.17, compared to $0.04.
Adjusted EBITDA of $13.9 million, compared to $6.9 million.1

 

Financial highlights for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (53 weeks) compared to the fiscal year ended December 25, 2022 (52 weeks):

 

Net Revenue increased 30.3% to $471.9 million, compared to $362.1 million. Excluding the extra week in fiscal year 2023, Net Revenue increased 28.0%.
Net Income of $25.6 million, compared to $1.2 million.
Net Income per Diluted Share of $0.59, compared to $0.03.
Adjusted EBITDA of $48.3 million, compared to $16.2 million.1

“2023 was another outstanding year for Vital Farms. This company continues to deliver on its ambitious growth targets, and we’ve again proven our resilience by executing for our stakeholders in a dynamic and challenging environment. We ended 2023 with our strongest ever quarter for net revenue, expanded distribution through new and existing retailers and built more trusted relationships with our consumers. We’re well positioned for a big year ahead and on track to be a $1 billion business by 2027,” said Russell Diez-Canseco, Vital Farms’ President and CEO.

Diez-Canseco continued, “I’d like to thank each of our stakeholders, including our crew members, our farmers and our customers, for their dedication to bringing ethical food to the table. We look forward to carrying this momentum into 2024 as we continue delivering on our purpose of improving the lives of people, animals, and the planet through food.”

Diez-Canseco added, “2024 marks a new chapter in Vital Farms’ growth. We drove a nearly $60 million expansion in operating cash flow in 2023 and ended the year with a greater than 10% adjusted EBITDA margin. The decisions we’ve made since our IPO on product mix and pricing, growth in distribution and brand awareness, the leverage we’ve created scaling a world class organization and the scale we’ve achieved through supply chain investments position us for sustained, profitable growth. This is a major milestone on the roadmap we laid out at our IPO, and a critical inflection point on our path to the ambitious targets we discussed at the analyst day last year. We will continue to make targeted investments that will take us to $1 billion and beyond, enable us to serve even more stakeholders, and create an even bigger platform to disrupt factory food.”

1 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 14 Weeks Ended December 31, 2023

Net revenue increased 23.4% to $135.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $110.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Net revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 2023 was driven by higher prices and volume gains of 11.6%. The volume growth was driven by increases at both new and existing retail customers.

The extra week in the fourth quarter of 2023, which was 14 weeks compared to 13 weeks in the fourth quarter of 2022, contributed $8.5 million of net revenue, or 7.7% of growth. Excluding the extra week, net revenue increased 15.7% in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Gross profit was $45.2 million, or 33.3% of net revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $33.3 million, or 30.3% of net revenue, in the prior year quarter. Gross profit growth was primarily driven by higher sales. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by volume gains and the January 2023 pricing increases across the entire shell egg portfolio. The price increases offset an increase in input costs across the shell egg business (inclusive of commodity, packaging, and labor impacts).

Income from operations in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $9.1 million, compared to income from operations of $3.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The change in income from operations was primarily attributable to higher sales and gross profit, partially offset by higher marketing costs to support brand development and increased employee-related expenses as headcount was increased to support growth.

Net income was $7.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to net income of $1.9 million in the prior year quarter. The change in net income was primarily due to higher sales and improved gross profit performance, partially offset by increased marketing spend and higher employee-related expenses.

Net income per diluted share was $0.17 for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to net income per diluted share of $0.04 in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA was $13.9 million, or 10.2% of net revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $6.9 million, or 6.2% of net revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2022.The change in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher sales and improved gross profit performance, partially offset by increased marketing spend and higher employee-related expenses.

 

The extra week in the fourth quarter of 2023, which was 14 weeks compared to 13 weeks in the fourth quarter of 2022, contributed $0.9 million of 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 Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023

Net revenue increased 30.3% to $471.9 million in fiscal year 2023, compared to $362.1 million in fiscal year 2022. Net revenue growth in fiscal year 2023 was driven by both higher prices and volume gains of 13.9%. The volume favorability was primarily driven by increases at both new and existing customers.

 

The extra week in fiscal year 2023, which was 53 weeks compared to 52 weeks in fiscal year 2022, contributed $8.5 million of net revenue, or 2.3% of growth. Excluding the extra week, net revenue increased 28.0% in fiscal year 2023.

 


 

Gross profit was $162.3 million, or 34.4% of net revenue, in fiscal year 2023, compared to $109.4 million, or 30.2% of net revenue, in the prior year period. Gross profit growth was primarily driven by higher sales. Gross margin benefited from increased pricing across the Company’s portfolio, partially offset by headwinds that included higher input costs (inclusive of commodity impacts) across the shell egg business as well as higher packaging costs.

Income from operations in fiscal year 2023 was $33.3 million, compared to income from operations of $2.1 million in fiscal year 2022. The change in income from operations was primarily attributable to higher sales and gross profit, partially offset by higher marketing costs to support brand development and increased employee-related expenses as headcount grew to support growth.

Net income was $25.6 million in fiscal year 2023, compared to net income of $1.2 million in the prior year period. The change in net income was primarily due to higher sales and improved gross profit performance, partially offset by increased marketing spend and higher employee-related expenses.

Net income per diluted share was $0.59 in fiscal year 2023, compared to net income per diluted share of $0.03 in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA was $48.3 million, or 10.2% of net revenue, in fiscal year 2023, compared to $16.2 million, or 4.5% of net revenue, in the prior year period. The change in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher sales and improved gross profit performance, partially offset by increased marketing spend and higher employee-related expenses.

The extra week in fiscal year 2023, which was 53 weeks compared to 52 weeks in fiscal year 2022, contributed $0.9 million of 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 $116.8 million as of December 31, 2023, and the Company had no outstanding debt. Net cash provided by operating activities was $50.9 million for the 53-week period ended December 31, 2023, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $8.1 million for the 52-week period ended December 25, 2022.

Capital expenditures totaled $11.5 million in the 53-week period ended December 31, 2023, compared to $10.6 million in the prior year period.

Fiscal 2024 Outlook

Thilo Wrede, Vital Farms’ Chief Financial Officer, commented: “We are very pleased with the financial performance we delivered in the fourth quarter and throughout 2023, highlighted by our record net revenue and improved profitability. The Vital Farms brand continues to gain share, and its strength positions us well to deliver on our positive expectations for 2024 and keeps us on track to achieve our long-term financial targets of $1 billion in net revenue, 35% gross margin and 12-14% Adjusted EBITDA margin.”

For the fiscal year 2024, management expects:

Net revenue of at least $552 million, which represents at least a 17% increase compared to fiscal year 2023 and at least a 19% increase when excluding the extra week in fiscal year 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA of at least $57 million, which represents at least an 18% increase compared to fiscal year 2023 and at least a 20% increase when excluding the extra week in fiscal year 2023.

 


 

Capital expenditures in the range of $35 million to $45 million. The Company will continue to evaluate its capital allocation priorities and will provide updates in future earnings reports as necessary.

Vital Farms’ guidance assumes that there are no additional 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 (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA Margin and net income (loss) 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) (benefit) or provision for income taxes as applicable; (3) stock-based compensation expense; (4) interest expense; (5) change in fair value of contingent consideration; (6) interest income; (7) the costs related to the discontinuation of our convenient breakfast product line; and (8) the costs related to the dissolution of the Ovabrite, Inc. variable interest entity. We believe the costs directly related to the convenient breakfast exit and dissolution of Ovabrite, Inc. should be excluded as they are unlikely to recur. 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 include costs related to the discontinuation of our convenient breakfast product line; (5) they do not include costs related to the dissolution of the Ovabrite, Inc. variable interest entity; (6) they do not reflect other non-operating expenses, including interest expense; (7) they do not consider the impact of any contingent consideration liability valuation adjustments; and (8) 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 14-week, 13-week, 53-week and 52-week periods presented.
