  • Net income/(loss) increased 447.9%. Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 8.6%.
  • Diluted EPS was $0.72, up 442.9%. Adjusted EPS(1) was $0.85, up 7.6%.

The Kraft Heinz Company (Nasdaq: KHC) (“Kraft Heinz” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2022.

“2022 was an incredible year for Kraft Heinz, delivering strong results and ending the fourth quarter with solid momentum that positions us well for 2023,” said Kraft Heinz CEO and Chair of the Board Miguel Patricio. “We continue to see strength driven by our key growth pillars, while at the same time prioritizing investments in our brands and delivering on efficiencies.”

I am very proud of the entire Kraft Heinz team for a strong year, while continuing to execute on our long-term strategy. We are confident that all the work we’ve done thus far positions us well to accelerate profitable growth and generate attractive returns for our stockholders.”

Q4 2022 Financial Summary

  • Net sales increased 10.0 percent versus the year-ago period to $7.4 billion, including a positive 7.1 percentage point impact from a 53rd week, a negative 4.6 percentage point impact from divestitures and acquisitions, and a negative 2.9 percentage point impact from currency. Organic Net Sales increased 10.4 percent versus the prior year period. Price increased 15.2 percentage points versus the prior year period, with increases in both reportable segments primarily driven by price increases to mitigate rising input costs. Volume/mix declined 4.8 percentage points versus the prior year period, with declines in both reportable segments that were primarily driven by supply constraints and elasticity impacts from pricing actions.
  • Net income/(loss) increased 447.9 percent versus the year-ago period to $887 million, primarily driven by non-cash impairment losses in the prior year period, lower interest expense primarily due to debt extinguishment costs in the prior year period, and higher Adjusted EBITDA versus the prior year period. These factors were partially offset by higher tax expense, an accrual related to the previously disclosed securities class action lawsuit, and unfavorable changes in other expense/(income). Adjusted EBITDA increased 8.6 percent versus the year-ago period to $1.7 billion, including a positive 7.4 percentage point impact from a 53rd week, a negative 4.9 percentage point impact from divestitures and acquisitions, and a negative 2.1 percentage point impact from currency. The remaining year-over-year increase in Adjusted EBITDA is a result of higher pricing and efficiency gains that more than offset higher supply chain costs (reflecting inflationary pressure in procurement, logistics, and manufacturing costs), higher commodity costs (mainly in dairy, packaging materials, energy, and soybean and vegetable oils), as well as unfavorable volume/mix.
  • Diluted EPS was $0.72, up 442.9% versus the prior year period, driven by the net income/(loss) factors discussed above. Adjusted EPS(1) was $0.85, up 7.6 percent versus the prior year period, primarily driven by results of ongoing operations, a 53rd week, and lower interest expense versus the prior year period. These factors were partially offset by a negative $0.05 impact from divestitures and unfavorable changes in other expense/(income).

FY 2022 Financial Summary

  • Net Sales increased 1.7 percent versus the year-ago period to $26.5 billion, including a negative 8.0 percentage point impact from divestitures and acquisitions, a negative 2.0 percentage point impact from currency, and a positive 1.9 percentage point impact from a 53rd week. Organic Net Sales increased 9.8 percent versus the prior year period. Price increased 13.2 percentage points versus the prior year period, with increases in both reportable segments primarily driven by price increases to mitigate rising input costs. Volume/mix declined 3.4 percentage points versus the prior year period, with declines in both reportable segments that were primarily driven by supply constraints and elasticity impacts from pricing actions.
  • Net income/(loss) increased 131.3 percent versus the year-ago period to $2.4 billion, driven by lower interest expense primarily due to debt extinguishment costs in the prior year period and lower non-cash impairment losses in the current year period. These factors were partially offset by lower Adjusted EBITDA versus the prior year period and an accrual related to the previously disclosed securities class action lawsuit. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 5.8 percent versus the year-ago period to $6.0 billion, including a negative 6.1 percentage point impact from divestitures and acquisitions, a negative 1.3 percentage point impact from currency, and a positive 1.9 percentage point impact from a 53rd week. The remaining year-over-year decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily a result of higher supply chain costs (reflecting inflationary pressure in procurement, logistics, and manufacturing costs), higher commodity costs (mainly in dairy, packaging materials, soybean and vegetable oils, energy, and meat), and unfavorable volume/mix. These impacts were offset by higher pricing and efficiency gains.
  • Diluted EPS was $1.91, up 132.9 percent versus the prior year period, primarily driven by the net income/(loss) factors discussed above. Adjusted EPS was $2.78, down 5.1 percent versus the prior year period, primarily driven by a negative $0.26 impact from divestitures, higher taxes on adjusted earnings, and unfavorable changes in other expense/(income). These factors were partially offset by lower interest expense and a 53rd week.
  • Year-to-date net cash provided by operating activities was $2.5 billion, down 54.0 percent versus the year-ago period, primarily driven by one-time proceeds from the sale of licenses in connection with the Cheese Transaction in the prior year period, higher cash outflows for inventories primarily related to stock rebuilding, increased input costs, and the acceleration of payments to suppliers attributed to the wind-down of existing product financing arrangements, and lower Adjusted EBITDA. These impacts were partially offset by lower cash outflows for interest, primarily due to prior year reduction of long-term debt. Year-to date Free Cash Flow(1) was $1.6 billion, down 65.2 percent versus the comparable prior year period due to the same drivers of net cash provided by operating activities.

Outlook

The Company expects 2023 Organic Net Sales(1)(2) growth of 4 to 6 percent versus 2022. Constant Currency Adjusted EBITDA(1)(2) growth from 2022 to 2023 is expected to range between 2 to 4 percent, or 4 to 6 percent when excluding the impact from the 53rd week in 2022.

The Company anticipates high single-digit inflation for the year, with pricing and gross efficiencies contributing to Adjusted Gross Profit Margin(1)(2) recovery. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin expansion is expected to fund incremental investments across technology, marketing, and people.

Adjusted EPS(1)(2) is expected to be $2.67 to $2.75, which includes approximately a $0.04 negative impact from expected unfavorable changes in non-cash pension and post-retirement benefits, and a $0.04 currency headwind at current foreign exchange rates. The expected 2023 year-over-year Adjusted EPS performance reflects a negative $0.06 impact from lapping the 53rd week in 2022.

End Notes

(1)

Organic Net Sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Constant Currency Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see discussion of non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations at the end of this press release for more information.

 

(2)

Guidance for Organic Net Sales, Constant Currency Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted Gross Margin is provided on a non-GAAP basis only because certain information necessary to calculate the most comparable GAAP measure is unavailable due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence and the future financial statement impact of such items impacting comparability, including, but not limited to, the impact of currency, acquisitions and divestitures, divestiture-related license income, restructuring activities, deal costs, unrealized losses/(gains) on commodity hedges, impairment losses, certain non-ordinary course legal and regulatory matters, equity award compensation expense, nonmonetary currency devaluation, and debt prepayment and extinguishment (benefit)/costs, among other items. Therefore, as a result of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of future adjustments, which could be significant, the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures without unreasonable effort.

Important factors that may affect the Company's business and operations and that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, operating in a highly competitive industry; the Company’s ability to correctly predict, identify, and interpret changes in consumer preferences and demand, to offer new products to meet those changes, and to respond to competitive innovation; changes in the retail landscape or the loss of key retail customers; changes in the Company's relationships with significant customers or suppliers, or in other business relationships; the Company’s ability to maintain, extend, and expand its reputation and brand image; the Company’s ability to leverage its brand value to compete against private label products; the Company’s ability to drive revenue growth in its key product categories or platforms, increase its market share, or add products that are in faster-growing and more profitable categories; product recalls or other product liability claims; climate change and legal or regulatory responses; the Company’s ability to identify, complete, or realize the benefits from strategic acquisitions, divestitures, alliances, joint ventures, or investments; the Company's ability to successfully execute its strategic initiatives; the impacts of the Company's international operations; the Company's ability to protect intellectual property rights; the Company’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits from prior or future streamlining actions to reduce fixed costs, simplify or improve processes, and improve its competitiveness; the influence of the Company’s largest stockholder; the Company's level of indebtedness, as well as our ability to comply with covenants under our debt instruments; additional impairments of the carrying amounts of goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets; foreign exchange rate fluctuations; volatility in commodity, energy, and other input costs; volatility in the market value of all or a portion of the commodity derivatives we use; compliance with laws and regulations and related legal claims or regulatory enforcement actions; failure to maintain an effective system of internal controls; a downgrade in the Company's credit rating; the impact of sales of the Company's common stock in the public market; the Company’s ability to continue to pay a regular dividend and the amounts of any such dividends; disruptions in the global economy caused by geopolitical conflicts, including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine; unanticipated business disruptions and natural events in the locations in which the Company or the Company's customers, suppliers, distributors, or regulators operate; economic and political conditions in the United States and in various other nations where the Company does business (including inflationary pressures, general economic slowdown, or recession); changes in the Company's management team or other key personnel and the Company's ability to hire or retain key personnel or a highly skilled and diverse global workforce; our dependence on information technology and systems, including service interruptions, misappropriation of data, or breaches of security; increased pension, labor, and people-related expenses; changes in tax laws and interpretations; volatility of capital markets and other macroeconomic factors; and other factors. For additional information on these and other factors that could affect the Company's forward-looking statements, see the Company's risk factors, as they may be amended from time to time, set forth in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company disclaims and does not undertake any obligation to update, revise, or withdraw any forward-looking statement in this press release, except as required by applicable law or regulation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP financial measures provided in this press release should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

To supplement the financial information provided, the Company has presented Organic Net Sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Constant Currency Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Gross Profit, and Adjusted Net Income/(Loss), which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures presented may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, and other companies may not define these non-GAAP financial measures in the same way. These measures are not substitutes for their comparable GAAP financial measures, such as net sales, net income/(loss), gross profit, diluted earnings per share (“EPS”), net cash provided by/(used for) operating activities, or other measures prescribed by GAAP, and there are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assist in comparing the Company’s performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision making by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect the Company’s underlying operations. The Company believes:

  • Organic Net Sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Constant Currency Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Net Income/(Loss), and Adjusted EPS provide important comparability of underlying operating results, allowing investors and management to assess the Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis; and
  • Free Cash Flow provides a measure of the Company’s core operating performance, the cash-generating capabilities of the Company’s business operations, and is one factor used in determining the amount of cash available for debt repayments, dividends, acquisitions, share repurchases, and other corporate purposes.

Management believes that presenting the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because it (i) provides investors with meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain items, (ii) permits investors to view performance using the same tools that management uses to budget, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate historical performance, and (iii) otherwise provides supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s results. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to those measures, provides investors with additional understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company’s business than could be obtained absent these disclosures.

Definitions

Organic Net Sales is defined as net sales excluding, when they occur, the impact of currency, acquisitions and divestitures, and a 53rd week of shipments. The Company calculates the impact of currency on net sales by holding exchange rates constant at the previous year's exchange rate, with the exception of highly inflationary subsidiaries, for which the Company calculates the previous year's results using the current year's exchange rate.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income/(loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, other expense/(income), provision for/(benefit from) income taxes, and depreciation and amortization (excluding restructuring activities); in addition to these adjustments, the Company excludes, when they occur, the impacts of divestiture-related license income (e.g., income related to the sale of licenses in connection with the Cheese Transaction), restructuring activities, deal costs, unrealized losses/(gains) on commodity hedges, impairment losses, certain non-ordinary course legal and regulatory matters, and equity award compensation expense (excluding restructuring activities). The Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis (Constant Currency Adjusted EBITDA). The Company calculates the impact of currency on Adjusted EBITDA by holding exchange rates constant at the previous year's exchange rate, with the exception of highly inflationary subsidiaries, for which it calculates the previous year's results using the current year's exchange rate.

Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Net Income/(Loss), and Adjusted EPS are defined as gross profit, net income/(loss), and diluted earnings per share, respectively, excluding, when they occur, the impacts of restructuring activities, deal costs, unrealized losses/(gains) on commodity hedges, impairment losses, certain non-ordinary course legal and regulatory matters, losses/(gains) on the sale of a business, other losses/(gains) related to acquisitions and divestitures (e.g., tax and hedging impacts), nonmonetary currency devaluation (e.g., remeasurement gains and losses), debt prepayment and extinguishment (benefit)/costs, and certain significant discrete income tax items (e.g., U.S. and non-U.S. tax reform), and including when they occur, adjustments to reflect preferred stock dividend payments on an accrual basis.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by/(used for) operating activities less capital expenditures. The use of this non-GAAP measure does not imply or represent the residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures since the Company has certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure.

(b)

Includes divestiture-related license income, which accounted for a benefit to Adjusted EPS from results of operations of $0.01 for the three months ended December 31, 2022.

(c)

Represents the impact of excluding the dilutive equity awards for the three months ended December 25, 2021, as their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on EPS due to net losses attributable to common shareholders for the same period.
