Total net revenue in the first quarter of 2017 was $531.5 million, an increase of 18.7% compared to $447.9 million from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2016. The net revenue increase was primarily driven by the benefit of two additional months of contribution from the Diamond Food brands. On a pro-forma basis, as if the transaction were completed on January 1, 2016, net revenue growth from continuing operations would have been approximately 1-2%.
Snyder’s-Lance legacy net revenue in the first quarter of 2017 increased 3.3% compared to the first quarter of 2016, driven by Branded category net revenue growth of 8.8%. Snyder’s-Lance legacy core brand net revenue increased 10.2%, with an approximate 10.5% increase in volume. This increase was led by strong growth in Snack Factory®, Snyder’s of Hanover®, Cape Cod® and Late July®, partially offset by a modest decline in Lance®. In addition, during the first quarter of 2017, net revenue from the Partner Brands category declined 5.1% compared to the first quarter of 2016, while net revenue from the Other category declined 14.3% compared to the first quarter of 2016. The decline in Other net revenue was due to a decrease in contract manufacturing volume.
Operating income in the first quarter of 2017 was $23.9 million, as compared to an operating loss of $27.3 million from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2016. Operating income, excluding special items, in the first quarter of 2017 was $28.0 million, or 5.3% as a percentage of net revenue, as compared to $36.1 million from continuing operations, or 8.1% as a percentage of net revenue, in the first quarter of 2016. The decline in operating margin from continuing operations was due to lower gross margin performance and operating expense de-leverage. Gross margin was negatively impacted by lower net price realization, adverse mix of branded sales, higher input costs, and lower overhead absorption, partially offset by synergy realization from the Diamond Foods acquisition. Operating expenses, as a percent of sales, increased as a result of higher planned marketing and advertising expenses to support growth of the Company’s core brands, higher service and distribution costs, and incremental amortization expense resulting from the Diamond Foods acquisition. These expenses were partially offset by synergy realization from the Diamond Foods acquisition and lower general and administrative expenses.
Net interest expense in the first quarter of 2017 increased to $9.0 million compared to $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2016. The increase in net interest expense was the result of additional debt utilized to finance the acquisition of Diamond Foods.
The GAAP effective income tax rate in the first quarter of 2017 was 29.2% as compared to 37.3% from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2016. The adjusted effective tax rate was 30.6% in the first quarter of 2017 as compared to 34.3% from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2016. The adjusted effective tax rate in the quarter was favorably impacted by the impact of exercises of non-qualified stock options.
GAAP net income attributable to Snyder’s-Lance in the first quarter of 2017 was $11.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, as compared to a loss of $22.9 million from continuing operations, or $0.29 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2016. Net income attributable to Snyder’s-Lance, excluding special items, for the first quarter of 2017 was $13.2 million, as compared to $20.8 million from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2016. Earnings per diluted share, excluding special items, was $0.13 in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $0.26 from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2016.
Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2017 was $52.8 million, or 9.9% of revenue, as compared to adjusted EBITDA of $56.6 million from continuing operations, or 12.6% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined herein under “Use and Definition of Non-GAAP Measures,” and is reconciled to net income in the tables that accompany this release.
Outlook
For the full-year of fiscal 2017, the Company continues to expect net revenue to be between $2,200 million and $2,250 million, adjusted EBITDA to be between $290 million and $315 million, and earnings per diluted share, excluding special items, to be between $1.05 and $1.20.
The Company’s 2017 full-year outlook also includes the following assumptions:
- Capital expenditures of $75 million to $85 million;
- Net interest expense of $32 million to $35 million;
- Effective tax rate of 33.5% to 35.5%; and
- Weighted average diluted share count of approximately 98 million shares.
Full-year 2017 GAAP guidance is not provided in this release due to the likely occurrence of one or more of the following items where the Company is unable to reliably forecast the timing and magnitude: Continued transaction related costs associated with the divestiture of Diamond of California and integration of legacy Diamond Foods operations, other potential transactions and their related costs, settlements of contingent liabilities, possible gains or losses on the sale of businesses or other assets, restructuring costs, impairment charges, and the income tax effects of these potential items.

LNCE-E
Use and Definition of Non-GAAP Measures
Snyder’s-Lance’s management uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating performance and to facilitate a comparison of the Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis and to provide measures that, when viewed in combination with its results prepared in accordance with GAAP, allow for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company’s business than GAAP measures alone. The non-GAAP measures and related comparisons should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, our GAAP disclosure, as well as other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Our management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful for providing increased transparency and assisting investors in understanding our ongoing operating performance.
Operating Income and Gross Profit, Excluding Special Items
Operating income and gross profit, excluding special items, are provided because Snyder’s-Lance believes it is useful information for understanding our results by improving the comparability of our results. Additionally, operating income and gross profit, excluding special items, provide transparent and useful information to management, investors, analysts and other parties in evaluating and assessing the Company’s primary operating results after removing the impact of unusual, non-operational or restructuring or transaction related activities that affect comparability. Operating income and gross profit, excluding special items, are two measures management uses for planning and budgeting, monitoring and evaluating financial and operating results, and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends.
Net Income, Earnings per Share and Effective Income Tax Rate, Excluding Special Items
Net income, earnings per share, and the effective income tax rate, excluding special items, are metrics provided to present the reader with the after-tax impact of operating income, excluding special items, in order to improve the comparability and understanding of the related GAAP measures. Net income, earnings per share, and the effective income tax rate, excluding special items, provide transparent and useful information to management, investors, analysts and other parties in evaluating and assessing our primary operating results after removing the impact of unusual, non-operational or restructuring or transaction related activities that affect comparability. Net income, earnings per share, and the effective income tax rate, excluding special items, are measures management uses for planning and budgeting, monitoring and evaluating financial and operating results.
Adjusted EBITDA
Snyder’s-Lance defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), further adjusted to exclude restructuring or transaction related expenses, and other non-cash or non-operating items as well as any other unusual items that impact the comparability of our financial information.
Management uses adjusted EBITDA as a key metric in the evaluation of underlying Company performance, in making financial, operating and planning decisions. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors because it increases transparency and assists investors in understanding the underlying performance of the Company and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. Additionally, Snyder’s-Lance believes adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies, many of which present an adjusted EBITDA measure when reporting their results. The Company has historically reported adjusted EBITDA to analysts and investors and believes that its continued inclusion provides consistency in financial reporting and enables analysts and investors to perform meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance, as an indicator of cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity. While EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are frequently used as measures of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements, they are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation.
