Positive Outlook
- Net sales growth is now expected to be 7.5% to 9.5% year-over-year, representing a range of $3.71 to $3.78 billion.
- The increase primarily reflects the volume from the acquisition of the Northlake, Texas coffee facility that closed in June 2023.
- The Company narrowed its adjusted EBITDA range to $360 to $370 million, up approximately 27% year-over-year at the midpoint.
- Third quarter revenue is expected in the range of $950 to $970 million, representing approximately 10% year-over-year growth at the midpoint, primarily driven by volume/mix, including the volume from the coffee acquisition.
- Third quarter adjusted EBITDA is anticipated in the range of $81 to $89 million, representing approximately 11% year-over-year growth at the midpoint.
Challenges Ahead
- Net interest expense is now expected to be $27 million to $32 million, due to increased usage of the Revolving Credit Facility to fund the aforementioned coffee acquisition and investment in inventory to service customers.
- Approximately $5 million to $7 million in temporary operating expenses in the fourth quarter resulting from the expected wind down of substantial portions of the transition services agreement related to the Meal Preparation divestiture.
