BEDMINSTER, N.J., Aug. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Freshpet, Inc. (“Freshpet” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: FRPT) today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights Compared to Prior Year Period
- Net sales of $235.3 million, an increase of 28.3%.
- Net loss of $1.7 million, compared to the prior year period net loss of $17.0 million.
- Gross margin of 39.9%, compared to the prior year period of 32.3%.

“Freshpet is delivering disciplined growth. That has enabled us to significantly improve profitability while continuing to deliver category-leading net sales growth. The momentum we have today gives us even greater confidence in our ability to achieve our 2027 targets, a number of which we have already exceeded,” commented Billy Cyr, Freshpet’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are raising our net sales and Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the year to reflect our outperformance in the first half, as well as our conviction in our ability to execute in the second half of the year. If we continue to deliver the kind of disciplined growth we have achieved so far this year, we believe we will create meaningful shareholder value in a way that serves pets, people, and the planet.”
Second Quarter 2024
Net sales increased 28.3% to $235.3 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $183.3 million for the prior year period. The increase in net sales was entirely driven by volume gains of 28.3%.
Gross profit was $94.0 million, or 39.9% as a percentage of net sales, for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $59.2 million, or 32.3% as a percentage of net sales, for the prior year period. The increase in reported gross profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to lower input costs, reduced quality costs, and improved leverage on plant expenses. For the second quarter of 2024, Adjusted Gross Profit was $108.0 million, or 45.9% as a percentage of net sales, compared to $73.0 million, or 39.8% as a percentage of net sales, for the prior year period.1
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $95.7 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $76.0 million for the prior year period. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A decreased to 40.7% for the second quarter of 2024 compared to 41.5% for the prior year period. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased by 80 basis points, primarily due to reduced logistics costs and media as a percentage of net sales, offset by higher share-based compensation. Adjusted SG&A for the second quarter of 2024 was $72.9 million, or 31.0% as a percentage of net sales, compared to $64.0 million, or 34.9% as a percentage of net sales, for the prior year period.1
- Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Measures” for how the Company defines these measures and the financial tables that accompany this release for reconciliations of these measures to the closest comparable GAAP measures.
Net loss was $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to net loss of $17.0 million for the prior year period. The decrease in net loss was due to contribution from higher sales, improved gross margin, and reduced logistics costs as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by increased SG&A expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA was $35.1 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $9.0 million for the prior year period.1 The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was a result of increased Adjusted Gross Profit partially offset by higher Adjusted SG&A expenses.
First Six Months of 2024
Net sales increased 30.9% to $459.1 million for the first six months of 2024 compared to $350.9 million for the prior year period. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by volume gains of 29.4%.
Gross profit was $182.1 million, or 39.7% as a percentage of net sales, for the first six months of 2024, compared to $110.0 million, or 31.4% as a percentage of net sales, for the prior year period. The increase in reported gross profit as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to lower input costs, reduced quality costs, and improved leverage on plant expenses. For the first six months of 2024, Adjusted Gross Profit was $209.5 million, or 45.6% as a percentage of net sales, compared to $137.5 million, or 39.2% as a percentage of net sales, for the prior year period.1
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $175.4 million for the first six months of 2024 compared to $148.3 million for the prior year period. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A decreased to 38.2% for the first six months of 2024 compared to 42.3% for the prior year period. SG&A as a percentage of net sales decreased by 410 basis points, primarily due to reduced logistics costs and media as a percentage of net sales, offset by higher share-based compensation. Adjusted SG&A for the first six months of 2024 was $143.8 million, or 31.3% as a percentage of net sales, compared to $125.5 million, or 35.8% as a percentage of net sales, for the prior year period.1
Net income was $16.9 million for the first six months of 2024 compared to a net loss of $41.7 million for the prior year period. The improvement in net income was due to contribution from higher sales, improved gross margin, reduced logistics costs as a percentage of net sales, and gain on equity investment, partially offset by increased SG&A expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA was $65.7 million for the first six months of 2024, compared to $12.0 million for the prior year period.1 The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was a result of increased Adjusted Gross Profit partially offset by higher Adjusted SG&A expenses.
Balance Sheet
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $251.7 million with $394.1 million of debt outstanding net of $8.4 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash from operations was $47.8 million, an increase of $48.1 million compared to the prior year period.
The Company will utilize its balance sheet to support its ongoing capital needs in connection with its long-term capacity plan.
Outlook
For full year 2024, the Company is updating its guidance and now expects the following:
- Net sales of at least $965 million, an increase of at least 26% from 2023, compared to at least $950 million in the previous guidance;
- Adjusted EBITDA of at least $140 million, compared to at least $120 million in the previous guidance; and
- Capital expenditures of ~$200 million, compared to ~$210 million in the previous guidance.
The Company does not provide guidance for net income (loss), the U.S. GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA, and similarly cannot provide a reconciliation between its forecasted Adjusted EBITDA and net income (loss) metrics without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for certain components of net income (loss) and the respective reconciliations, including the timing of and amount of costs of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses. These items are not within the Company’s control and may vary greatly between periods and could significantly impact future results.

Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in this release constitute “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements relating to our ability to achieve our 2027 targets, create meaningful shareholder value, and guidance with respect to 2024 net sales, Adjusted EBITDA and capital expenditures. These statements are based on management’s current opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results. While Freshpet believes that its assumptions are reasonable, it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible to anticipate all factors that could affect actual results. There are several risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results, performance, and achievements to differ materially from those stated or implied by the forward-looking statements described herein, including, most prominently, the risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K and its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this release. Freshpet undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement because of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be made that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Freshpet uses the following non-GAAP financial measures in its financial communications. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplements to the U.S. GAAP reported measures, should not be considered replacements for, or superior to, the U.S. GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies.
- Adjusted Gross Profit
- Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of net sales (Adjusted Gross Margin)
- Adjusted SG&A Expenses
- Adjusted SG&A Expenses as a percentage of net sales

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA: EBITDA represents net income (loss) plus interest expense net of interest income, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense, and Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus loss on equity method investment, gain on equity investment, non-cash share-based compensation expense, implementation and other costs associated with the implementation of an ERP system, loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment, fees related to the capped call transactions, and advisory fees related to activism engagement.
Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures are meaningful to investors because they provide a view of the Company with respect to ongoing operating results. The non-GAAP financial measures are shown as supplemental disclosures in this release because they are widely used by the investment community for analysis and comparative evaluation. They also provide additional metrics to evaluate the Company’s operations and, when considered with both the Company’s GAAP results and the reconciliation to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures, provide a more complete understanding of the Company’s business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. The non-GAAP measures are not and should not be considered an alternative to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures or any other figure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as an indicator of operating performance. The Company’s calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from methods used by other companies. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures are important to an understanding of the Company’s overall operating results in the periods presented. The non-GAAP financial measures are not recognized in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to U.S. GAAP measures of performance.

(a) | Includes true-ups to share-based compensation expense compared to prior periods. We have certain outstanding share-based awards with performance-based vesting conditions that require the achievement of certain Adjusted EBITDA and/or Net Sales targets as a condition of vesting. At each reporting period, we reassess the probability of achieving the performance criteria and the performance period required to meet those targets. When the probability of achieving such performance conditions changes, the compensation cost previously recorded is adjusted as needed. When such performance conditions are deemed to be improbable of achievement, the compensation cost previously recorded is reversed. |
