Guidance for Full Year Fiscal 2025

  • Net sales range of $1.890 billion to $1.950 billion.

  • Adjusted EBITDA range of $290.0 million to $300.0 million.

  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share range of $0.65 to $0.75.

Commenting on the results, Casey Keller, President and Chief Executive Officer of B&G Foods, stated, "B&G Foods’ fourth quarter results were in line or slightly above expectations, with some improvement versus prior quarters. We expect first half fiscal 2025 trends to continue to be soft, with sequential improvement in the second half of the year as we lap consumer purchasing changes following high inflation across the packaged foods industry."

Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter of 2024

Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased $26.5 million, or 4.6%, to $551.6 million from $578.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to the Green Giant U.S. shelf-stable divestiture, a decrease in unit volume, and the negative impact of foreign currency, partially offset by an increase in net pricing and the impact of product mix. Net sales of the Green Giant U.S. shelf-stable product line, which the Company divested on November 8, 2023, were $15.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Base business net sales for the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased $10.7 million, or 1.9%, to $551.6 million from $562.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease in base business net sales was driven by a decrease in unit volume of $12.4 million, or 2.2%, and the negative impact of foreign currency of $0.4 million, partially offset by an increase in net pricing and the impact of product mix of $2.1 million, or 0.4% of base business net sales.

Gross profit was $118.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, or 21.5% of net sales. Adjusted gross profit(1), which excludes the negative impact of $3.7 million of acquisition/divestiture-related expenses and non-recurring expenses included in cost of goods sold during the fourth quarter of 2024, was $122.3 million, or 22.2% of net sales. Gross profit was $125.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, or 21.7% of net sales. Adjusted gross profit, which excludes the negative impact of $1.6 million of acquisition/divestiture-related expenses and non-recurring expenses included in cost of goods sold during the fourth quarter of 2023, was $126.7 million, or 21.9% of net sales.
