    ソース: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 26 10 2022 16:30:01   America/New_York

    GREELEY, Colo., Oct. 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation (NASDAQ: PPC), one of the world's largest poultry producers, reports its third quarter 2022 financial results.

    Third Quarter Highlights

    • Net Sales of $4.47 billion, up 16.8% from prior year.
    • Consolidated GAAP operating income margin of 7.6% with GAAP operating income margins of 11.9% in U.S., (3.2)% in Mexico and 1.2% in Europe.
    • GAAP Net Income of $259.0 million and GAAP EPS of $1.08. Adjusted Net Income of $260.7 million or adjusted EPS of $1.09.
    • Adjusted EBITDA of $460.5 million, or a 10.3% margin, 32.7% higher than a year ago.
    • We are extremely proud of the agility of our teams in their relentless pursuit of operational excellence in the face of extensive inflationary headwinds.
    • Our diversified U.S. portfolio across bird sizes and our Key Customers strategy proved a differentiating factor during changing market conditions. Strengthening in our Case Ready and Small Bird businesses, combined with Prepared Foods momentum mitigated significant volatility in Big Bird Debone.
    • Our brand momentum continues throughout U.S. retail as Just Bare® and Pilgrim’s® prepared products grew over 45% year over year. E-commerce across our U.S. branded portfolio grew more than 65%.
    • Despite a challenging consumer environment and extensive cost escalation, our U.K. and Europe business drove sequential quarter-over-quarter profit improvement through continued focus on Key Customer partnerships and operational efficiencies.
    • Our Mexico business experienced a decline in overall sales and profitability given seasonality, weakened market conditions, and significant challenges in live operations at our locations.
    • In building on our commitment to corporate responsibility, we issued our 2021 Sustainability Report in August which demonstrated our progress to becoming an industry champion in the ESG arena.
    • Our liquidity position remains strong with an adjusted EBITDA net leverage ratio at 1.33; providing us the ability to further progress on our growth strategy, while we remain on-track with our previously announced organic growth projects.

    (2) This Y/Y change is designated not meaningful (or “NM”) due to significant one-time items recognized in prior year.

    “During the third quarter, we experienced significant changes in market fundamentals. To navigate these challenges, our team members maintained their determination and focus on our operations.   As a result, third quarter sales grew almost 17% and Adjusted EBITDA nearly 33% from prior year,” said Fabio Sandri, Chief Executive Officer of Pilgrim’s.  

    Throughout the quarter, commodity cutout values in the U.S. declined from five-year highs while inflationary pressures continued to mount.   Nonetheless, the U.S. business achieved an adjusted EBITDA margin over 14%.  

    “Our strong performance in the U.S. highlights the strength and effectiveness of our strategy.   Our diversified portfolio offerings across multiple bird sizes helps mitigate volatility, whereas our Key Customer relationships cultivated profitable growth for all involved.   When these factors are combined with our relentless focus on operational excellence, we demonstrated our ability to drive strong performance throughout a challenging environment,” remarked Fabio Sandri.  

    Despite continued inflationary headwinds and a challenging consumer environment, our U.K. and Europe business improved its adjusted EBITDA from the previous quarter and previous year.   In addition, the team announced additional steps to mitigate further headwinds via optimization of our network and increasing innovation.

    “Although I am pleased with our improvement to date, I am even more impressed by the team’s ability to work together to further optimize our manufacturing footprint, to engage with Key Customers to mitigate continued cost escalation, and to develop strategies to minimize potential commodity challenges. These combined efforts will strengthen our foundation for profitable growth,” said Fabio Sandri.

    Our Mexico business experienced a decline in sales and profitability relative to prior year and the prior quarter given seasonal changes in demand and continued issues with bird mortality due to disease. “The Mexico business has historically experienced significant quarter-over-quarter earnings volatility.   Nonetheless, we remain confident in the business and its long-term prospects,” commented Mr. Sandri.

    Pilgrim’s also built additional momentum for its 2040 Net Zero Program with approved investments of nearly $40 million in plant level improvements that both enhanced overall operational efficiency and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.   In addition, Pilgrim’s published its 2021 Sustainability Report in August illustrating the downward trajectory of its greenhouse gas emissions intensity.  

    “I am proud of our progress to date in sustainability and look forward to continuing our journey towards Net Zero, especially as it simultaneously strengthens our business and creates a better future for all of our team members and their communities.   I am very confident that these efforts, when combined with our team’s ability to consistently execute our strategy, will help drive our vision of becoming the best and most respected company in our industry, even under the most difficult circumstances,” remarked Fabio Sandri.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation

    (Unaudited)

    “EBITDA” is defined as the sum of net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” is calculated by adding to EBITDA certain items of expense and deducting from EBITDA certain items of income that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance consisting of: (1) foreign currency transaction losses, (2) transaction costs related to business acquisitions, (3) costs related to the DOJ agreement and litigation settlements, (4) property insurance recoveries for Mayfield, Kentucky tornado property damage losses, (5) deconsolidation of subsidiary and (6) net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. EBITDA is presented because it is used by management and we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, in addition to and not in lieu of results prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”), to compare the performance of companies. We believe investors would be interested in our Adjusted EBITDA because this is how our management analyzes EBITDA applicable to continuing operations. The Company also believes that Adjusted EBITDA, in combination with the Company’s financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, provides investors with additional perspective regarding the impact of certain significant items on EBITDA and facilitates a more direct comparison of its performance with its competitors. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance under U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income as indicators of our operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These limitations should be compensated for by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only on a supplemental basis.

    (a)Interest expense, net, consists of interest expense less interest income.
    (b) The Company measures the financial statements of its Mexico reportable segment as if the U.S. dollar were the functional currency. Accordingly, we remeasure assets and liabilities, other than nonmonetary assets, of the Mexico reportable segment at current exchange rates. We remeasure nonmonetary assets using the historical exchange rate in effect on the date of each asset’s acquisition. Currency exchange gains or losses resulting from these remeasurements, as well as, from our U.K. and Europe reportable segment are included in the line item Foreign currency transaction losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
    (c) Transaction costs related to acquisitions includes those charges that are incurred in conjunction with business acquisitions.
    (d)On October 13, 2020, Pilgrims announced that we entered into a plea agreement (the “Plea Agreement”) with the DOJ. As a result of the Plea Agreement, we recognized a fine of $110.5 million. On February 23, 2021, the Colorado Court approved the Plea Agreement and assessed a fine of $107.9 million. The difference between the original accrual and the payment is recorded in DOJ agreement and litigation settlements in the three months ended March 28, 2021. The additional expense recognized in the three and nine months ended September 26, 2021 and September 25, 2022 was offset by amounts recognized in anticipation of probable settlements in ongoing litigation.
    (e)This represents property insurance recoveries for the property damage losses incurred as a result of the tornado in Mayfield, KY in December 2021.
    (f)This represents a gain recognized as a result of deconsolidation of a subsidiary.

    The summary unaudited consolidated income statement data for the twelve months ended September 25, 2022 (the LTM Period) have been calculated by subtracting the applicable unaudited consolidated income statement data for the nine months ended September 26, 2021 from the sum of (1) the applicable audited consolidated income statement data for the year ended December 26, 2021 and (2) the applicable unaudited consolidated income statement data for the nine months ended September 25, 2022.

    Adjusted net income attributable to Pilgrim's Pride Corporation (“Pilgrim's”) is calculated by adding to Net income (loss) attributable to Pilgrim's certain items of expense and deducting from Net income (loss) attributable to Pilgrim's certain items of income, as shown below in the table. Adjusted net income attributable to Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation per common diluted share is presented because it is used by management, and we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, in addition to and not in lieu of results prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, to compare the performance of companies.
