Second Quarter Net Sales Increase 5.3%, 13th
Consecutive Quarter of Growth
Announced Leadership Transition, Appointed
Dennis Eidson Interim President and CEO
Continued Significant Debt Paydown and Working
Capital Improvements
SpartanNash Company (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SPTN) today
reported financial results for the 12-week second quarter and
28-week period ended July 13, 2019.
“Consistent with our comments in the press release issued
earlier this week, the Board of Directors and I remain confident in
the Company’s overall strategic direction,” said Dennis Eidson,
Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. “I am excited to
work with our team of talented associates as we focus our efforts
on improved execution, while continuing to drive our top-line sales
growth.”
Consolidated Financial Results
Consolidated net sales for the second quarter increased $100.0
million, or 5.3%, to $2.00 billion from $1.90 billion in the prior
year quarter. The increase in net sales was generated through
incremental volume in the Retail segment resulting from the
acquisition of Martin’s and growth in the Military Distribution
segment, despite a slow start to the quarter due to the Easter
shift and unseasonably cool weather for the first two periods of
the second quarter.
Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 was $289.0
million, or 14.5% of net sales, compared to $265.7 million, or
14.0% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. As a percent of net
sales, the improvement in gross profit was primarily driven by the
higher mix of Retail sales due to the acquisition of Martin’s and
was partially offset by the other factors described below within
the Segment Financial Results.
Reported operating expenses for the second quarter were $281.6
million, or 14.1% of net sales, compared to $235.8 million, or
12.4% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. The increase in
expenses as a rate of sales compared to the prior year quarter was
due to asset impairment charges primarily associated with the
changes the Company recently announced related to its Caito Fresh
Production business including the decision to exit the Fresh
Kitchen operations, additional Retail segment business associated
with Martin’s, as well as an increase in supply chain expenses.
Second quarter operating expenses would have been $265.5 million,
or 13.3% of net sales, compared to $235.9 million, or 12.4% of net
sales, in the prior year quarter, excluding the adjustments related
to the non-cash impairment charges and other adjustments detailed
in Table 3.
The Company reported operating earnings of $7.4 million compared
to $29.8 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was
primarily attributable to the impairment charges noted above, lower
margin rates on comparable sales, higher supply chain costs and
incremental losses from the Fresh Kitchen operations, partially
offset by favorable incentive compensation, incremental earnings
from the newly acquired Martin’s business and lower recall charges
than in the prior year. Non-GAAP adjusted operating earnings(1)
were $23.5 million compared to $29.8 million in the prior year
quarter due to the factors mentioned above. Please see the
financial tables at the end of this press release for a
reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most
directly comparable measure, prepared and presented in accordance
with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA(2) was $44.3 million compared to $49.7 million
in the prior year quarter due to the factors mentioned above.
The Company reported a second quarter loss from continuing
operations of $6.8 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to
earnings of $17.8 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, in the prior
year quarter. The decrease reflects the factors noted above, as
well as settlement expense of $8.7 million associated with the
previously announced termination of the Company’s corporate pension
plan and increased interest expense due to higher interest rates on
the Company’s borrowings.
Adjusted earnings from continuing operations(3) for the second
quarter were $12.2 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to
$17.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, in the prior year
quarter.
Segment Financial Results
Food Distribution
Net sales for Food Distribution decreased $6.3 million, or 0.7%,
to $935.4 million from $941.7 million in the prior year quarter.
Excluding the impact of the elimination of intercompany sales to
Martin’s subsequent to the acquisition, sales increased 3.0%,
primarily due to sales growth from existing customers. The
Company’s rate of sales growth within this segment decelerated from
recent quarters, largely due to the unseasonably cool and wet
weather during the months of May and June. These trends improved
during the month of July as the weather returned to more seasonable
levels.
Reported operating earnings for Food Distribution were $0.3
million compared to $18.7 million in the prior year quarter. The
decrease in reported operating earnings was due to asset impairment
charges primarily associated with changes to the Caito Fresh
Production business noted above, losses associated with the Fresh
Kitchen operations, and higher supply chain expenses, partially
offset by lower recall charges than in the prior year, and
favorable adjustments to incentive compensation. Second quarter
adjusted operating earnings(1) were $16.8 million compared to $19.8
million in the prior year quarter primarily due to higher supply
chain expenses. Adjusted operating earnings exclude $16.0 million
of asset impairment charges and the allocation of one-time costs
associated with Project One Team in the current year quarter, and
merger/acquisition and integration expenses in the prior year
quarter.
Military Distribution
Net sales for Military Distribution increased $0.9 million, or
0.2%, to $490.6 million from $489.7 million in the prior year
quarter. The increase was primarily due to incremental volume from
new business with an existing customer that commenced late in the
fourth quarter of 2018 and DeCA’s private brand program, partially
offset by lower comparable sales at DeCA operated locations.
Reported operating loss for Military Distribution was $1.6
million compared to operating earnings of $3.1 million in the prior
year quarter. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower
margin rates, partly due to a shift in the mix of business, and
higher supply chain costs, as well as the cycling of gains related
to the sale of a closed facility in the prior year quarter,
partially offset by favorable adjustments to incentive
compensation. The second quarter adjusted operating loss(1) was
$1.5 million compared to earnings of $2.3 million in the prior year
quarter. The adjusted operating loss in the current year quarter
excludes the allocation of one-time costs associated with Project
One Team and the gain on the sale of a closed location in the prior
year quarter.
Retail
Net sales for Retail increased $105.4 million, or 22.7%, to
$570.0 million from $464.6 million in the prior year quarter.
Excluding the acquisition of Martin’s, sales decreased 3.3%, due to
lower sales resulting from store closures and a decrease in
comparable store sales of 2.0%. Comparable store sales were
negatively impacted by the shift of the post-Easter week into the
second quarter by 0.5%, as well as the unseasonably cool weather
for the first two periods of the quarter.
Reported operating earnings for Retail were $8.7 million
compared to operating earnings of $8.0 million in the prior year
quarter. The increase in reported operating earnings was primarily
attributable to the contribution of the acquired Martin’s stores,
the favorable impact of closing underperforming stores and
favorable adjustments to incentive compensation, partially offset
by higher fees paid to pharmacy benefit managers. Adjusted
operating earnings(1) were $8.2 million compared to $7.7 million in
the prior year quarter and exclude restructuring gains and
merger/acquisition and integration expenses in the current year and
restructuring gains in the prior year quarter.
Cash Flow
Cash flows provided by operating activities for the first half
of 2019 were $103.8 million, consistent with the prior year period
at $104.3 million. The Company generated $72.1 million of free cash
in the 28 weeks ended July 13, 2019, compared to $69.7 million of
free cash in same period of fiscal 2018.
In the first half of fiscal 2019, the Company returned $13.8
million to shareholders in the form of cash dividends equal to
$0.38 per common share.
Strategic Business Objectives
The Company remains focused on the execution of its top five
objectives for 2019. These objectives are critical in the context
of the Company’s long-term strategic objective to build and operate
a national, highly efficient distribution platform servicing a
diverse customer base through three highly complementary business
units of Food Distribution, Military Distribution and Retail.
The following summarizes these objectives and the Company’s
progress during the second quarter of 2019:
Achieve Mid-Single Digit Sales Growth. The Company sustained
this objective in the second quarter, realizing 5.3% sales growth
from the same quarter in the prior year and delivering its 13th
consecutive quarter of sales growth.
Realize More Than $15.0 Million of Savings Over the Next 24
Months from Project One Team. The Company has completed the
implementation of a number of initiatives and is in process with
others. The Company remains on track to achieve a run rate of over
$20.0 million in annual cost savings within the next 24 months.
Strengthen Management Team, Systems and Supply Chain Operations.
During the second quarter, the Company appointed Walt Lentz as the
President of Food Distribution. Mr. Lentz has an extensive
background in logistics, supply chain and food manufacturing,
including roles as Acting Chief Executive Officer and Chief Supply
Chain Officer of Peapod LLC, the grocery eCommerce business
division of Ahold Delhaize. He oversees the Food Distribution
segment and has assumed responsibility for the Company’s supply
chain.
Reduce Debt and Working Capital While Lowering Financial
Leverage Ratios. Since the second quarter of 2018, the Company has
paid down over $90.0 million in debt, resulting in an $8 million
reduction in the debt balance despite the acquisition of Martin’s
at the beginning of fiscal 2019. The Company also reduced its
working capital by over $15.0 million from the second quarter of
fiscal 2018, while continuing to grow sales. The Company will
continue to focus on working capital improvements and debt
reduction and expects to achieve total working capital improvements
of $30.0 million for the full fiscal year.
Improve Adjusted Operating Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA Trend.
The Company has recently executed a significant number of changes
in leadership, including a transition in the President and CEO
position. The leaders of SpartanNash have a renewed focus on
driving operational execution and organizational development, while
enhancing the distribution business. As part of these efforts to
improve operating earnings and EBITDA trends, the Company recently
announced its decision to exit the Indianapolis-based Fresh Kitchen
operations and shift the Company’s focus and expertise to the
produce distribution and Fresh Cut operations, which have been the
hallmark of the Caito business. The Company expects to complete
this transition by the end of fiscal 2019. These changes, along
with the other strategies of the Company discussed above, are
believed to be critical to return the Company to long-term
profitable growth.
Outlook
The Company continues to expect financial results for the fiscal
year ending December 28, 2019 consistent with its outlook
previously provided on August 12, 2019, as outlined below and
detailed in Table 6:
52 Weeks Ending
December 28, 2019
Net Sales Growth
Mid-single digits
Adjusted EBITDA (2)
$183 - $195 million
Adjusted EPS from Continuing Operations
(4)
$1.20 - $1.35
Reported EPS from Continuing
Operations
$0.21 - $0.47
The Company’s fiscal year guidance reflects an effective tax
rate of 22.0% to 23.0%, due to a shift in profitability into lower
tax jurisdictions. The Company expects capital expenditures for
fiscal year 2019 to be in the range of $86.0 million to $92.0
million, with depreciation and amortization of $89.0 million to
$91.0 million. Interest expense is now expected to range from $34.0
million to $35.0 million in fiscal 2019.
The Company's updated guidance for fiscal 2019 does not include
costs associated with the CEO transition and costs from a
non-recurring, supplemental, transition incentive program for
eligible associates.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with
GAAP, the Company also provides information regarding Adjusted
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization
(“adjusted EBITDA”), adjusted operating earnings, adjusted earnings
from continuing operations, total net long-term debt, and projected
adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing operations.
These are non-GAAP financial measures, as defined below, and are
used by management to allocate resources, assess performance
against its peers and evaluate overall performance. The Company
believes these measures provide useful information for both
management and its investors. The Company believes these non-GAAP
measures are useful to investors because they provide additional
understanding of the trends and special circumstances that affect
its business. These measures provide useful supplemental
information that helps investors to establish a basis for expected
performance and the ability to evaluate actual results against that
expectation. The measures, when considered in connection with GAAP
results, can be used to assess the overall performance of the
Company as well as assess the Company’s performance against its
peers. These measures are also used as a basis for certain
compensation programs sponsored by the Company. In addition,
securities analysts, fund managers and other shareholders and
stakeholders that communicate with the Company request its
financial results in these adjusted formats.
Current year adjusted operating earnings, adjusted earnings from
continuing operations, and adjusted EBITDA exclude costs associated
with organizational realignment, which include significant changes
to the Company’s management team. Also excluded are the fees paid
to a third-party advisory firm associated with Project One Team,
the Company’s initiative to drive growth while increasing
efficiency and reducing costs. Pension termination costs, primarily
related to non-operating settlement expense associated with the
distribution of pension assets, are excluded from adjusted earnings
from continuing operations, and to a lesser extent adjusted
operating earnings. These items are considered “non-operational” or
“non-core” in nature. Prior year adjusted operating earnings,
adjusted earnings from continuing operations, and adjusted EBITDA
exclude start-up costs associated with the Fresh Kitchen operation,
which concluded during the first quarter of 2018. The Fresh Kitchen
represented a new line of business for the Company, and provides
the Company with the ability to process, cook, and package fresh
protein-based foods and complete meal solutions.

Notes: Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP operating financial measure
that the Company defines as net earnings plus interest,
discontinued operations, depreciation and amortization, and other
non-cash items including deferred (stock) compensation, the LIFO
provision, as well as adjustments for items that do not reflect the
ongoing operating activities of the Company and costs associated
with the closing of operational locations.
Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA by segment are not measures
of performance under accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America and should not be considered as a
substitute for net earnings, cash flows from operating activities
and other income or cash flow statement data. The Company’s
definitions of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA by segment may
not be identical to similarly titled measures reported by other
companies.

Notes: Total net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure that is
defined as long-term debt and capital lease obligations plus
current maturities of long-term debt and capital lease obligations
less cash and cash equivalents. The Company believes both
management and its investors find the information useful because it
reflects the amount of long-term debt obligations that are not
covered by available cash and temporary investments. Total net debt
is not a substitute for GAAP financial measures and may differ from
similarly titled measures of other companies.
