B&G Foods experienced a decline in net sales and gross profit in Q1 2025 compared to the previous year, primarily due to decreased volume, net pricing, and product mix. Despite this, the company reported a significant increase in net income and operating income, largely due to the absence of the goodwill impairment charges that impacted the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA also saw a decrease.
Net sales decreased by 10.5% to $425.4 million, primarily due to lower volume, net pricing, and product mix.
Gross profit declined to $90.1 million, or 21.2% of net sales, from $108.9 million, or 22.9% of net sales, in the prior year.
Operating income increased significantly to $35.8 million from an operating loss of $15.6 million in Q1 2024, mainly due to the absence of goodwill impairment charges.
Net income was $835 thousand, a substantial improvement from a net loss of $40.239 million in the same period last year.
B&G Foods anticipates continued challenges from elevated raw material and freight costs in fiscal 2025, but plans to mitigate these through supply contracts, cost savings, and price increases. The company expects to make capital expenditures of $30.0 million to $35.0 million in fiscal 2025, primarily for asset sustainability, cost savings, IT, and environmental compliance. The aggregate dividend payments are projected to be approximately $60.6 million for fiscal 2025.
