GREELEY, Colo., May 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation (NASDAQ: PPC), one of the world's largest poultry producers, reports its first quarter 2024 financial results.

First Quarter Highlights

  • Net Sales of $4.4 billion.
  • Consolidated GAAP operating income margin of 5.7%.
  • GAAP Net Income of $174.9 million and GAAP EPS of $0.73. Adjusted Net Income of $182.9 million or Adjusted EPS of $0.77.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $371.9 million, or a 8.5% margin, with adjusted EBITDA margins of 9.4% in the U.S., 6.4% in Europe, and 9.2% in Mexico.
  • Our diversified U.S. fresh portfolio continues to demonstrate its strength with dynamic market conditions, through increased partnership with Key Customers in both Case Ready and Small Bird, and improved operational excellence in Big Bird.
  • Prepared Foods continues to accelerate its profitable growth through branded fully cooked offerings as Just Bare® and Pilgrim’s® net sales collectively grew 30% from prior year and continue to gain distribution across all channels.
  • Europe continued its journey to improve through additional distribution with Key Customers and further optimization of manufacturing and support activities. Diversification through brands continues to grow as net sales for Richmond® and Fridge Raiders® grew 6.5% and 9.6% respectively.
  • Mexico improved results given balanced supply and demand fundamentals in commodity markets, deepened relationships with Key Customers, and expanded presence in differentiated offerings.
  • Strong liquidity position and net leverage ratio of less than 2.0x Adjusted EBITDA through prudent management of working capital.
  • Increased diversification of our portfolio to support profitable growth as our protein conversion plant in South Georgia initiated start up in March.
  • Completed an external review of our GHG emission intensity levels associated with our Sustainability Linked Bond. Emission intensity declined by 15.6% between 2019 and 2022 from improved production efficiencies, capital investments, and energy infrastructure enhancements.

“Although we experienced depressed market conditions and persistent consumer inflation throughout 2023, we saw this as opportunity to enhance our competitive advantage. To that end, we focused on consistent execution of our strategies, controlling what we can control, and maintaining investment in our operations. These efforts further strengthened our business, accelerating our profitable growth as market conditions evolved,” said Fabio Sandri, Pilgrim’s Chief Executive Officer.

During the first quarter, the U.S. continued to improve as Big Bird realized significant benefits from enhanced operational efficiencies and market fundamentals. Case Ready and Small Bird continued to grow from increased distribution with Key Customers, promotional activity, and the value of chicken to consumers. Prepared Foods also drove significant growth in both retail and food service through branded offerings, further diversifying the portfolio.

“Our U.S. portfolio continues to demonstrate an ability to capture market upsides while minimizing downside risk through a diversified set of offerings across multiple bird sizes and value-added items. This approach is further reinforced by our Key Customer partnerships and relentless focus on operational excellence,” remarked Sandri.

In Europe, consumer inflation and labor costs continue to be challenging. Nonetheless, the team secured additional business with retail Key Customers, drove branded growth above category averages, and identified further efficiencies in manufacturing and support activities.  

“Over the past year, the Europe team executed a variety of efforts to improve Key Customer partnerships, enhance our operational excellence, and further diversify our portfolio of branded offerings. Our foundation is much stronger today and we will continue to explore ways to accelerate our journey of profitable growth,” said Sandri.

Mexico improved through a combination of enhanced supply and demand fundamentals in the commodity market, increased Key Customer partnerships, and further momentum of branded offerings. Operational excellence efforts to expand capacity and mitigate risk in live operations remain on track.

“Our strategies continue to demonstrate their effectiveness as we’ve grown ahead of the markets with our Key Customers. Similarly, our branded portfolio continues to gain acceptance throughout the market, further diversifying our portfolio. When these efforts are combined with our operational excellence initiatives to expand capacity, we can further drive our profitable growth,” said Sandri.

Pilgrim’s efforts in sustainability continue to drive meaningful progress. Between 2019 and 2022, GHG emissions intensity has fallen by 15.6%, translating into an absolute reduction of 216,000 metric tons.

“We are proud of our leadership mindset regarding sustainability. Given our continued efforts, we can elevate our performance in GHG intensity reduction, creating a better future for our team members and further reinforcing our vision to become the best and most respected company in our industry,” said Sandri.

PILGRIM’S PRIDE CORPORATION
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 (gains), (2) costs related to litigation settlements, (3) restructuring activities losses, (4) property insurance recoveries for Mayfield, Kentucky tornado property damage losses, and (5) 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.

(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 Europe reportable segment are included in the line item Foreign currency transaction losses (gains) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
(c) This represents expenses recognized in anticipation of probable settlements in ongoing litigation.
(d) Restructuring activities losses are primarily related to our Pilgrim's Europe integration.
(e) This represents property insurance recoveries for the property damage losses incurred as a result of the tornado in Mayfield, KY in December 2021.
 
 

The summary unaudited consolidated income statement data for the twelve months ended March 31, 2024 (the LTM Period) have been calculated by subtracting the applicable unaudited consolidated income statement data for the three months ended March 26, 2023 from the sum of (1) the applicable audited consolidated income statement data for the year ended December 31, 2023 and (2) the applicable unaudited consolidated income statement data for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Adjusted net income attributable to Pilgrim's Pride Corporation (“Pilgrim's”) is calculated by adding to Net income attributable to Pilgrim's certain items of expense and deducting from Net income 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. Management also believe that this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, in combination with our financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, provides investors with additional perspective regarding the impact of such charges on net income attributable to Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation per common diluted share. Adjusted net income attributable to Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation per common diluted share is not a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Management believes that presentation of adjusted net income attributable to Pilgrim’s provides useful supplemental information about our operating performance and enables comparison of our performance between periods because certain costs shown below are not indicative of our current operating performance. A reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation per common diluted share to adjusted net income attributable to Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation per common diluted share is as follows:
