Forward Guidance

TreeHouse updated its full year 2023 guidance, expecting net sales growth of 7.5% to 9.5% and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $360 to $370 million.

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.
  • Unspecified risks related to the impact that the divestiture of a significant portion of our Meal Preparation Business or any such divestiture might have on the Company’s operations
  • Unspecified disruptions or inefficiencies in our supply chain and/or operations
  • Unspecified loss of key suppliers
