MISSISSAUGA, ON, May 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Maple Leaf Foods Inc. ("Maple Leaf Foods" or "the Company") (TSX: MFI) today reported its financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2019.

Maple Leaf Foods Inc. (CNW Group/Maple Leaf Foods Inc.)

Quarter highlights

  • Sales up 11.0% driven by acquisitions and growth in core business
  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) margin of 9.3%, impacted by investments in growth for plant-based protein, start-up in new capacity in protein kits and meat pies, and integration of 2018 acquisitions
  • Announced capital investment of US$336.0 million to expand plant-based protein capacity to secure continued leadership position and meet escalating demand
  • Successfully executed refinancing to expand debt capacity and provide flexibility to fund future growth

"Our first quarter of 2019 is headlined by higher sales growth, fuelled by recent acquisitions, combined with some in-quarter margin compression as we invested in that growth." said Michael H. McCain, President and CEO. "While market conditions continued to be adverse, they are expected to improve for the balance of the year. We are progressing on track on all strategic platforms to deliver structural margin expansion and pursue our vision to be the most sustainable protein company on earth."

Sales in the first quarter increased 11.0% to $907.1 million, including acquisitions. Sales growth in the core business of 1.4% was driven primarily by pricing actions, taken in the fourth quarter of 2018 to mitigate inflationary pressures, and favourable mix due to food renovation. Continued expansion of sustainable meats and plant-based protein also contributed to growth in sales.

Adjusted Operating Earnings were $42.1 million compared to $52.8 million in the first quarter of 2018. Solid commercial performance was driven primarily by pricing actions taken in the prior quarter, improved sales mix from the Company's food renovation initiatives, lower input costs for prepared meats, and growth in value-added fresh pork and poultry. These improvements were more than offset by adverse fresh market conditions and the impact of growth initiatives. Growth initiatives in the quarter included investments in plant-based protein to support the brands, start-up costs related to capacity expansion in protein kits and meat pies and the short-term dilutive impact of 2018 acquisitions.

Net earnings for the first quarter were $50.1 million ($0.41 per basic share) compared to $27.9 million ($0.22 per basic share) in the first quarter of 2018. The increase in net earnings was consistent with factors noted above. In addition, net earnings were positively impacted by changes in fair value of biological assets and unrealized gains on derivative contracts, which are excluded in calculating Adjusted Operating Earnings.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") margin for the quarter was 9.3% compared to 10.1% in the first quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA margin was also impacted by the adoption of IFRS 16 - Leases ("IFRS 16"). Upon the adoption of IFRS 16, leases previously classified as operating leases were capitalized on the Company's consolidated interim balance sheet with an incremental $8.1 million in depreciation and $1.8 million in interest being recorded on the Company's consolidated interim statement of earnings not included in EBITDA.

Subsequent Events

On April 8, 2019, the Company announced plans to build a US$310.0 million plant-based processing facility in Shelbyville, Indiana. The new Shelbyville facility will be supported by approximately US$50.0 million in U.S. government and utility grants and incentives, including US$9.6 million toward capital and one-time start-up costs, and approximately US$40.0 million in 10-year operational support. The Company will also invest approximately US$26.0 million to support ongoing growth in demand at its existing facilities. The project will be funded by a combination of cash flow from operations and debt. Construction will start in late spring 2019, and start-up is expected to commence in late 2020. See Note 17 of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("consolidated financial statements").

On April 30, 2019, the Company entered into a new syndicated credit facility consisting of a $1,300.0 million unsecured committed revolving line of credit maturing April 30, 2024 and two unsecured committed term credit facilities for US$265.0 million and CDN$350.0 million maturing April 30, 2024 and April 30, 2023 respectively. The credit facility refinances and replaces the Company's existing $250.0 million and $400.0 million unsecured committed revolving credit facilities, which were due to mature November 7, 2019 and October 19, 2021 respectively.

The new facility bears interest based on short-term interest rates and is intended to meet the Company's funding requirements for investment in the construction of its new recently announced manufacturing facilities in London, Ontario and Shelbyville, Indiana, in addition to providing appropriate levels of liquidity and for general corporate purposes.

On April 30, 2019, the Company had drawn US$265.0 million from the first unsecured committed term credit facility and CDN$115 million from the second unsecured committed term credit facility to repay all borrowings as at March 31, 2019, including accrued interest and fees (see Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements).

Other Matters

On May 1, 2019, the Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.145 per share payable June 28, 2019 to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 7, 2019. Unless indicated otherwise by the Company at or before the time the dividend is paid, this dividend will be considered an eligible dividend for the purposes of the "Enhanced Dividend Tax Credit System".

Conference Call

An investor presentation related to the Company's first quarter financial results will be available at www.mapleleaffoods.com and can be found under Investor Information on the Investors page.

The Company's full unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related Management's Discussion and Analysis are available on the Company's website.

Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

The Company uses the following non-IFRS measures: Adjusted Operating Earnings, Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Net (Debt) Cash. Management believes that these non-IFRS measures provide useful information to investors in measuring the financial performance of the Company for the reasons outlined below. These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies and should not be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted Operating Earnings

Adjusted Operating Earnings, a non-IFRS measure, is used by Management to evaluate financial operating results. It is defined as earnings before income taxes adjusted for items that are not considered representative of ongoing operational activities of the business and items where the economic impact of the transactions will be reflected in earnings in future periods when the underlying asset is sold or transferred. The table below provides a reconciliation of net earnings as reported under IFRS in the consolidated financial statements, to Adjusted Operating Earnings for the three months ended March 31, as indicated below. Management believes that this basis is the most appropriate on which to evaluate operating results, as they are representative of the ongoing operations of the Company.

Adjusted Earnings per Share, a non-IFRS measure, is used by Management to evaluate financial operating results. It is defined as basic earnings per share and is adjusted on the same basis as Adjusted Operating Earnings. The table below provides a reconciliation of basic earnings per share as reported under IFRS in the Company's consolidated financial statements to Adjusted Earnings per Share for the three months ended March 31, as indicated below. Management believes this basis is the most appropriate on which to evaluate financial results as they are representative of the ongoing operations of the Company.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest and income taxes plus depreciation and intangible asset amortization, adjusted for items that are not considered representative of ongoing operational activities of the business, and items where the economic impact of the transactions will be reflected in earnings in future periods when the underlying asset is sold or transferred. The following table provides a reconciliation of net earnings as reported under IFRS in the consolidated financial statements to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, as indicated below. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful in assessing the performance of the Company's ongoing operations and its ability to generate cash flows to fund its cash requirements, including the Company's capital investment program.
