TORONTO -- 

Jamieson Wellness Inc. (“Jamieson Wellness” or the “Company”) (TSX: JWEL) today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2022. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars. Certain metrics, including those expressed on an adjusted basis, are non-IFRS and other financial measures. See “Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures” below.

Highlights of Second Quarter 2022 versus Second Quarter 2021

  • Successfully completed transaction to purchase Nutrawise Health and Beauty Corporation (“Nutrawise” or “youtheory”) and the youtheory brand, accelerating the Company’s expansion in the U.S.
  • Increased revenue to $112.0 million with strong Jamieson Brands revenue growth of 6.5%
  • Increased Adjusted EBITDA(1) by 9.5% to $24.4 million
  • Net earnings were $10.1 million and Adjusted net earnings(1) increased 11.4% to $13.4 million; and
  • Diluted earnings per share were $0.24, and Adjusted diluted earnings per share(2) increased 10.3% to $0.32.

“This is a remarkable time for the entire team at Jamieson Wellness, as we deliver on our strategic priorities and commitments in the face of a volatile geopolitical and economic environment,” said Mike Pilato, President and CEO of Jamieson Wellness. “In the second quarter we realized strong branded revenue, expanded margins and earnings growth, while completing our acquisition of the youtheory brand. We continued our Jamieson brand’s 100th anniversary media campaign and celebrations, grew in China in spite of widespread COVID-19 related lockdowns, and made progress on our ESG activities by joining the UN Global Compact Initiative. The acquisition of Nutrawise adds the United States, the largest VMS market in the world, as a key strategic growth pillar. The transaction is immediately accretive to our fiscal 2022 results providing incremental revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings per share. As we integrate these great businesses, we look forward to the long-term potential to accelerate growth, profitability, and the scale of Jamieson Wellness, globally.”

Second Quarter 2022 Results

Revenue increased 1.3% to $112.0 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared with $110.6 million in the second quarter of 2021 driven by 6.5% growth in the Jamieson Brands segment, partially offset by a 13.8% decline in the Strategic Partners segment.

Revenue in the Jamieson Brands segment increased by 6.5% or $5.3 million to $87.7 million. The Company’s domestic branded sales increased by 8.0% in the second quarter of 2022, reflecting continued strong consumer demand and point of purchase growth reflecting consumers’ prioritization of their health and wellness. The Company’s international revenue remained flat on a reported basis compared with the second quarter of 2021 reflecting the temporary shift in purchasing patterns in our Eastern European markets due to the geopolitical situation in Ukraine, offsetting continued growth in China, through cross border e-commerce, despite widespread COVID-19 related lockdowns in Shanghai and Beijing.

Revenue in the Strategic Partners segment decreased by 13.8%, or $3.9 million to $24.3 million in the second quarter of 2022 reflecting order timing while lapping against prior year’s production planning which resulted in significant growth of 48.9%.

Gross profit increased by $2.4 million to $40.7 million in the second quarter of 2022 mainly driven by revenue growth and improved gross profit margin in the Jamieson Brands segment. Normalized gross profit margin(2) increased by 160 basis points to 36.4%, reflecting margin improvements in the Jamieson Brands segment and the mix impact of proportionally higher Branded sales, partially offset by lower margin in the Strategic Partners segment. Normalized gross profit margin in the Jamieson Brands segment increased by 120 basis points to 43.2% due to favourable mix and timing of trade investment offsetting elevated global supply chain costs. Gross profit margin(3) in Strategic Partners decreased by 200 basis points to 11.7% mainly due to production volume timing, and higher global supply chain and input costs, offset by favourable customer mix.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by $3.8 million to $25.0 million in the second quarter of 2022 and include costs associated with the previously announced Nutrawise acquisition on June 1, 2022. Normalized SG&A expenses(1) increased $0.4 million to $20.1 million in the second quarter of 2022 due to additional resources in support of our strategic initiatives and timing of our marketing investments to promote our 100 year anniversary and international brand presence.

Earnings from operations decreased by $1.5 million, or 9.1%, to $14.6 million in the second quarter of 2022 and operating margin(3) decreased by 150 basis points to 13.0% due to factors affecting gross profit margin discussed above and higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue mainly due to costs associated with the acquisition. Normalized earnings from operations(1) increased by $1.7 million, or 9.8% in the second quarter of 2022 and normalized operating margin(2) was 17.4% compared with 16.1% in the second quarter of 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by 9.5% to $24.4 million in the second quarter of 2022 and adjusted EBITDA margin(2) was 21.8% compared with 20.2% in the second quarter of 2021.

Interest expense and other financing costs decreased by $0.1 million to $1.2 million due to lower average borrowings in the quarter.

Net earnings for the second quarter of 2022 was $10.1 million compared with $11.5 million in the second quarter of 2021. Adjusted net earnings, which excludes all non-operating expenses and foreign exchange, increased by $1.4 million, or 11.4%, to $13.4 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Adjusted net earnings excludes costs associated with foreign exchange gain/loss, acquisition related costs, IT system improvements, COVID-19 related costs, business integration, and other non-operating earnings or expenses net of related tax effects. A quantitative reconciliation of reported net earnings to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and non-IFRS normalized gross profit, normalized SG&A, normalized earnings from operations and Adjusted net earnings are included in the table accompanying this release under the heading “Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures”.

Balance Sheet & Cash Flow

The Company generated $13.3 million in cash from operations during the second quarter of 2022 compared with $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2021. Cash from operating activities before working capital considerations(1) of $16.8 million was $0.7 million higher due to increased earnings in the current quarter. Cash investments in working capital decreased by $7.6 million driven by timing of collections and payments offset by higher inventories to maintain continuity of supply. The Company’s cash as at June 30, 2022 was $8.4 million compared with $6.8 million on December 31, 2021 and $4.6 million at the end of the second quarter of 2021. The Company ended the quarter with approximately $143.1 million in cash and available operating lines and net debt(1) of $131.9 million.

Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures

This press release makes reference to certain financial measures, including non-IFRS financial measures that are historical, non-IFRS measures that are forward-looking, non-GAAP ratios and supplementary financial measures. Management uses these financial measures for purposes of comparison to prior periods and development of future projections and earnings growth prospects. This information is also used by management to measure the profitability of ongoing operations and in analyzing the Company’s business performance and trends. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company’s results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial information reported under IFRS. The Company uses the following non‑IFRS financial measures: “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted net earnings”, the most directly comparable financial measure for each that is disclosed in its financial statements being net earnings, “normalized gross profit”, “normalized SG&A”, “normalized earnings from operations”, “cash from operating activities before working capital considerations” and “net debt”, the most directly comparable financial measures for each that is disclosed in its financial statements being gross profit, SG&A, earnings from operations, cash flows from operating activities, and long-term debt, respectively, the following non-IFRS ratios: “Adjusted EBITDA margin”, “Adjusted diluted earnings per share”, “normalized gross profit margin”, “normalized operating margin”, and the following supplementary financial measures: “gross profit margin” and “operating margin” to provide supplemental measures of the Company’s operating performance and thus highlight trends in the Company’s core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. Management also uses non‑IFRS and supplementary financial measures in order to prepare annual operating budgets and to determine components of management compensation. For an explanation of the composition of each such measure and the usefulness and additional uses of each by management, see the “How we Assess the Performance of our Business” section of the MD&A, which is incorporated by reference. See below for a quantitative reconciliation of each non-IFRS financial measure to its most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the Company’s financial statements to which the measure relates.

The following tables provide a quantitative reconciliation of net earnings to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted net earnings, as well as gross profit to normalized gross profit, SG&A to normalized SG&A, earnings from operations to normalized earnings from operations, each of which are non-IFRS financial measures (see the “Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures” of this press release for further information on each non-IFRS financial measure) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021.

(2)

Expenses for legal, due diligence, regulatory, tax, and fairness opinions relating to the Nutrawise acquisition.

Relates to system implementation costs to advance our supply chain planning infrastructure. Unlike other system improvement projects with costs capitalized, due to its cloud-based nature, these system implementation costs are expensed accordingly.

(4)

 

Costs related to COVID-19 which do not reflect the ongoing costs of operation.

(5)

Prior year expenses mainly pertained to start-up costs to complete our transition to a third-party logistics provider to make room for capacity expansion at our existing operations.

(6)

Costs pertaining to our LTIP, excluding certain one-time grants to certain employees. Prior year expenses included the acceleration of share-based compensation expense in relation to our CEO transition, net of tax benefits realized on the vesting of certain share-based awards.
