TreeHouse Foods, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2020 ResultsHIGHLIGHTS- Second quarter 2020 loss per diluted share from continuing operations was $(0.05) compared to $(0.89) for the same period in 2019.- Second quarter 2020 adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing operations was $0.58 compared to $0.40 for the same period in 2019, representing an increase of 45%, driven by improved operational throughput as the Company continued to service increased demand related to COVID-19.- TreeHouse raised its full year 2020 guidance to $2.55 - $2.75 for adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing operations. The Company anticipates net sales for the year and free cash flow to be at the upper end of its original guidance ranges of $4.10 to $4.40 billion and $250 to $300 million, respectively, again noting that there exists uncertainty around the nature, timing and magnitude of changes in future sales and earnings attributable to the spread of COVID-19 in North America. OAK BROOK, Ill., Aug. 6, 2020

OAK BROOK, Ill., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (NYSE: THS) today reported second quarter GAAP loss per diluted share from continuing operations of $(0.05) compared to $(0.89) for the second quarter of 2019. Adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing operations1 were $0.58 in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $0.40 in the second quarter of 2019.

"Our priority continues to be the health, safety and welfare of our employees, and we owe them our thanks as they've continued to demonstrate resilience and dedication, working tirelessly to fulfill increased demand and service our customers," said Steve Oakland, Chief Executive Officer and President. "I'm pleased with our strong performance in the second quarter, as we delivered bottom line results of $0.58, which was above our expectations. Our business transformation and strategic reorganization to two divisions enabled us to increase production to meet higher demand and capture operational efficiencies."

Bill Kelley, EVP and Chief Financial Officer, said: "Our operational and commercial teams continue to work well together to service our retail customers and meet the higher demand for food at home, which drove organic net sales growth of 3.7% in the second quarter. Our conscious decision to keep our employees safe and healthy by limiting production at plants located in regions most heavily impacted by COVID-19 resulted in revenue for the quarter just below our guidance range. Solid productivity gains throughout our network of manufacturing and distribution facilities enabled us to deliver second quarter adjusted gross profit1 of 20.1%, 120 basis points higher than last year. I commend our team on an outstanding performance in a difficult time."

__________________________________________________

Adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing operations, organic net sales, adjusted gross profit, and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations1 are Non-GAAP financial measures. See "Comparison of Adjusted Information to GAAP Information" for the definitions of the Non-GAAP measures, information concerning certain items affecting comparability, and reconciliations of the GAAP to Non-GAAP measures.

OUTLOOK

TreeHouse raised its full year 2020 guidance for adjusted earnings from continuing operations to $2.55 to $2.75 per diluted share. The Company now expects 2020 revenue to be at the upper end of its original guidance of $4.10 to $4.40 billion. Free cash flow is also expected to be at the upper end of the guidance range of $250 to $300 million.

"We are encouraged by both the strength of our operations during this period of elevated demand and the commitment of our employees to supporting our healthy workplace protocols and processes," Mr. Oakland continued. "The work we performed related to our restructuring and reorganization activities has enabled us to flourish during this uncertain time. We remain confident in both our near-term and the longer-term opportunity for private label. Our outlook for the balance of the year assumes revenue will remain strong and takes into account higher costs to implement and maintain heightened COVID-19 safety measures. While macro uncertainty remains in the second half of the year, we feel comfortable in raising our full-year adjusted EPS guidance range."

In regard to the third quarter outlook, TreeHouse anticipates the following:

* Adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing operations of $0.55 to $0.65, up approximately 9% year-over-year at the midpoint * Net sales between $1.04 to $1.08 billion, approximately flat year-over-year at the midpoint on a reported basis, and up approximately 2% on an organic basis * Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $112 to $127 million, up approximately 6% year-over-year at the midpoint

The Company is not able to reconcile prospective adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing operations and prospective adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) to the most comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable effort due to the inherent uncertainty and difficulty of predicting the occurrence, financial impact, and timing of certain items impacting GAAP results. These items include, but are not limited to, mark-to-market adjustments of derivative contracts, foreign currency exchange on the re-measurement of intercompany notes, or other non-recurring events or transactions that may significantly affect reported GAAP results.

SECOND QUARTER 2020 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Net sales for the second quarter of 2020 totaled $1,041.9 million compared to $1,025.3 million for the same period last year, an increase of 1.6%. The change in net sales from 2019 to 2020 was due to the following:

Volume/mix related to divestitures (1.8) (1.1)

SKU rationalization - (0.2)

Foreign currency (0.3) (0.1)

Total change in net sales 1.6 % 1.7 %

Organic net sales increased 3.7% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to 2019 driven by:

* Volume/mix excluding SKU rationalization and divestitures was favorable 3.9% year-over-year primarily due to increased retail demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which outpaced the impact of carryover distribution losses and decreased food-away-from-home demand. * Pricing was unfavorable 0.2% driven by the carryover impact of prior year pricing adjustments.

The year-over-year increase in organic net sales was partially offset by volume/mix related to the divestiture of the two In-Store Bakery facilities, which was unfavorable 1.8%, and unfavorable foreign exchange which contributed 0.3% year-over-year.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 18.4% in the second quarter of 2020, compared to 18.5% in the second quarter of 2019, a decrease of 0.1 percentage points. The decrease is primarily due to incremental costs incurred in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including increased production shifts, supplemental pay, protective equipment for employees, and additional sanitation measures. This was partially offset by favorable channel mix of more retail and less food-away-from-home business and higher throughput at our network of manufacturing and distribution facilities.

Total operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 15.9% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to 19.2% in the second quarter of 2019, a decrease of 3.3 percentage points. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower restructuring expenses, as the TreeHouse 2020 program winds down, and continued SG&A discipline, partially offset by higher employee expenses.

Total other expense decreased by $34.9 million to $14.1 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $49.0 million in the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily related to the non-cash mark-to-market impact from hedging activities, driven by interest rate swaps and commodity contracts, with a gain recognized in the second quarter of 2020 compared to expense in the second quarter of 2019, and greater favorable currency exchange rate impacts between the U.S. and Canadian dollar during the second quarter of 2020.

Income tax expense was recognized at a higher effective rate in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the income tax benefit recognized in the second quarter of 2019 driven by a change in the amount of valuation allowance recorded against certain deferred tax assets and an increase in the amount of non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by the benefit recognized in 2020 due to the enactment of the CARES Act.

Net loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2020 was $2.6 million, compared to $50.1 million for the same period of the previous year. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations1 was $119.2 million in the second quarter of 2020, a 13.1% increase compared to the second quarter of 2019. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to productivity gains throughout our network of manufacturing and distribution facilities and favorable channel mix. This was partially offset by increased employee expenses.

Net income (loss) from discontinued operations increased $122.8 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019. The increase is primarily related to non-recurring impairment charges recognized in the second quarter of 2019 of $66.5 million related to long-lived assets in the Snacks division and $63.9 million related to the expected disposal loss of the RTE Cereal business.

Cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $123.3 million in the first six months of 2020 compared to cash used in operating activities of $43.5 million in the first six months of 2019, an increase of $166.8 million. The increase was primarily attributable to higher cash earnings and improved working capital. The Company's working capital management emphasis continues to be focused on driving faster collection of receivables, reducing inventory, and extending vendor payment terms.

The Company's three and six months 2020 and 2019 results included certain items noted below that, in management's judgment, affect the comparability of earnings period-over-period.

Meal Preparation

Net sales in the Meal Preparation segment increased $10.2 million, or 1.6%, in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019. The change in net sales was due to favorable volume/mix mostly from increased retail demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which outpaced the impact of carryover distribution losses and decreased food-away-from-home demand. This was partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency. Organic net sales in the Meal Preparation segment increased by 1.8% year-over-year.

Direct operating income as a percentage of net sales increased 1.6 percentage points in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019. This increase was primarily due to favorable channel mix and lower SG&A expense due to continued discipline.

Snacking & Beverages

Net sales in the Snacking & Beverages segment increased $6.4 million, or 1.7%, in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019. The change in net sales was due to favorable volume/mix mostly from increased retail demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which outpaced the impact of carryover distribution losses and unfavorable volume/mix related to divestitures. This was partially offset by unfavorable pricing primarily related to the carryover impact of prior year pricing adjustments and unfavorable foreign currency. Organic net sales in the Snacking & Beverages segment increased 7.0% year-over-year.

Direct operating income as a percentage of net sales increased 1.5 percentage points in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019. The increase primarily resulted from productivity gains associated with higher operational throughput at our network of manufacturing and distribution facilities in response to the increased demand due to COVID-19.

CONFERENCE CALL WEBCAST

A webcast to discuss the Company's second quarter earnings will be held at 8:30 a.m. (Eastern Time) today. The live audio webcast and a supporting slide deck will be available on the Company's website at www.treehousefoods.com/investors/investor-overview/default.aspx

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Beginning in the third quarter of 2019, the Company determined that both its Snacks division, sold on August 1, 2019, and its RTE Cereal business met the discontinued operations criteria and, as such, both businesses have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented.

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company reached the decision to sell two of its In-Store Bakery facilities located in Fridley, Minnesota and Lodi, California. These two facilities are within the Snacking & Beverages reporting segment. On January 10, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell these facilities. On April 17, 2020, the Company completed the sale of these facilities. The Company determined the associated assets met the held for sale accounting criteria as of December 31, 2019 and were classified accordingly in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These two facilities did not meet the criteria to be presented as a discontinued operation.

COMPARISON OF ADJUSTED INFORMATION TO GAAP INFORMATION

The Company has included in this release measures of financial performance that are not defined by GAAP ("Non-GAAP"). A Non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company believes these measures provide useful information to the users of the financial statements as we also have included these measures in other communications and publications.

For each of these Non-GAAP financial measures, the Company provides a reconciliation between the most directly comparable GAAP measure and the Non-GAAP measure, an explanation of why management believes the Non-GAAP measure provides useful information to financial statement users, and any additional purposes for which management uses the Non-GAAP measure. This Non-GAAP financial information is provided as additional information for the financial statement users and is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP. These Non-GAAP measures may be different from similar measures used by other companies.

Organic Net Sales

Organic Net Sales is defined as reported net sales excluding the impacts of SKU rationalization, foreign currency, and the net sales associated with the divestiture of the In-Store Bakery facilities, which closed on April 17, 2020, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. This information is provided in order to allow investors to make meaningful comparisons of the Company's sales between periods and to view the Company's business from the same perspective as Company management.

Adjusted Gross Profit

Adjusted gross profit is defined as gross profit adjusted for items that, in management's judgment, significantly affect the assessment of gross profit between periods and allows the reader to view the Company's business from the same perspective as Company management. As the company cannot predict the timing and amount of charges that include, but are not limited to, items such as restructuring programs, changes in regulatory compliance, and other items that may arise from time to time that would impact comparability, management does not consider these costs when evaluating the Company's performance. The reconciliation of the GAAP measure of gross profit as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, excluding certain items affecting comparability, to adjusted gross profit is presented below.

Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share from Continuing Operations, Adjusting for Certain Items Affecting Comparability

Adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing operations ("adjusted diluted EPS") reflects adjustments to GAAP loss per diluted share from continuing operations to identify items that, in management's judgment, significantly affect the assessment of earnings results between periods. This information is provided in order to allow investors to make meaningful comparisons of the Company's earnings performance between periods and to view the Company's business from the same perspective as Company management. As the Company cannot predict the timing and amount of charges that include, but are not limited to, items such as acquisition, integration, divestiture, and related costs, mark-to-market adjustments on derivative contracts, foreign currency exchange impact on the re-measurement of intercompany notes, restructuring programs, and other items that may arise from time to time that would impact comparability, management does not consider these costs when evaluating the Company's performance, when making decisions regarding the allocation of resources, in determining incentive compensation, or in determining earnings estimates. The reconciliation of the GAAP measure of diluted loss per share from continuing operations as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, excluding certain items affecting comparability, to adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations is presented above.

Adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations, Adjusted EBIT from Continuing Operations, Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Net Income Margin from Continuing Operations, Adjusted EBIT Margin from Continuing Operations and Adjusted EBITDA Margin from Continuing Operations, Adjusting for Certain Items Affecting Comparability

Adjusted net income from continuing operations represents GAAP net loss from continuing operations as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations adjusted for items that, in management's judgment, significantly affect the assessment of earnings results between periods as outlined in the adjusted diluted EPS section above. This information is provided in order to allow investors to make meaningful comparisons of the Company's earnings performance between periods and to view the Company's business from the same perspective as Company management. This measure is also used as a component of the Board of Directors' measurement of the Company's performance for incentive compensation purposes and is the basis of calculating the adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations metric outlined above.

Adjusted EBIT from continuing operations represents adjusted net income from continuing operations before interest expense, interest income, and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations represents adjusted EBIT from continuing operations before depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBIT from continuing operations and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations are performance measures commonly used by management to assess operating performance, and the Company believes they are commonly reported and widely used by investors and other interested parties as a measure of a company's operating performance between periods.

Adjusted net income margin from continuing operations, adjusted EBIT margin from continuing operations and adjusted EBITDA margin from continuing operations are calculated as the respective metric defined above as a percentage of net sales as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations adjusted for items that, in management's judgment, significantly affect the assessment of earnings results between periods as outlined in the adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations section above.

A full reconciliation between the relevant GAAP measure of reported net loss from continuing operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 calculated according to GAAP, adjusted net income from continuing operations, adjusted EBIT from continuing operations, and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is presented in the attached tables. Given the inherent uncertainty regarding adjusted items in any future period, a reconciliation of forward-looking financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is not feasible.

Free Cash Flow from Continuing Operations

In addition to measuring the Company's cash flow generation and usage based upon the operating, investing, and financing classifications included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, we also measure free cash flow from continuing operations, which represents net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less capital expenditures. The Company believes free cash flow is an important measure of operating performance because it provides management and investors a measure of cash generated from operations that is available for mandatory payment obligations and investment opportunities such as funding acquisitions, repaying debt, repurchasing outstanding senior debt, and repurchasing common stock. A reconciliation between the relevant GAAP measure of cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 calculated according to GAAP and free cash flow from continuing operations is presented in the attached tables.
