“Our fourth quarter results were highlighted by profitable growth in each of our three core segments, strong cash flow generation, and the completion of another strategic business acquisition” said AdvancePierre Chief Executive Officer, John Simons. “In 2016 we delivered on our commitments to achieve solid organic growth, increase earnings, and deploy cash flow to reward our shareholders with an attractive dividend.”

“We plan to continue to invest in highly accretive acquisitions and reduce leverage,” added AdvancePierre’s President, Chris Sliva. “Our growth trajectory sets us apart from the broader food industry and we are well positioned to continue our momentum driven by execution of our continuous improvement process, ‘the APF Way’, in 2017 and beyond.”

2“Core organic volume growth” refers to the period-to-period change in volume generated by the Company’s three core segments, excluding volume from acquisitions and the industrial segment.

Consolidated Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter

Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $409.4 million compared to $386.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to the Allied Specialty Foods business acquisition and organic core volume growth, partially offset by strategic price and trade spending investments to reflect lower raw material costs which reduced net sales.


Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2016 increased by $20.8 million to $116.5 million, or 28.5% of net sales, compared to $95.7 million, or 24.8% of net sales, for the fourth quarter of 2015, reflecting an increase of 370 basis points of margin. Gross profit increased primarily due to positive price realization net of raw material cost movements, volume growth, productivity savings and other cost reductions.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $58.8 million, or 14.3% of net sales, compared to $53.7 million, or 13.9% of net sales for the fourth quarter of 2015.

Interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $22.2 million, a decrease of $3.5 million compared to $25.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. This decrease resulted from $12.0 million of interest savings from refinancing of the Company’s credit facilities and lower average borrowings, offset by $8.5 million of charges associated with the refinancing transaction.

Income tax provision was $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, as compared to an income tax provision of $2.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.

AdvancePierre’s reported GAAP net income was $33.1 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $11.7 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2015. Adjusted Net Income for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $42.0 million, or $0.53 per diluted share compared to $15.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2015.

For the fourth quarter of 2016, Adjusted EBITDA increased 17.9% to $81.2 million from $68.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.

Segment Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter

Foodservice

Net sales for the Foodservice segment increased 2.4% to $219.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $214.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, reflecting the acquired volume (5.4%) and higher organic volume growth (2.0%), partially offset by unfavorable mix (1.2%) and a reduction in net pricing (3.8%). The Foodservice segment achieved growth across the majority of its product categories in both its Street and Schools customer sub-channels.

Operating income for the Foodservice segment increased 28.6% to $46.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $36.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, reflecting positive price realization net of raw material deflation, higher volume, and productivity savings.

Retail

Net sales for the Retail segment increased 8.1% to $106.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $98.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, reflecting organic volume (7.2%), acquired volume (0.1%), and favorable mix (5.0%), partially offset by a reduction in net pricing (4.2%). The increase in volume was primarily from increased consumption of stuffed entrées, and increased distribution of breakfast sandwiches, partially offset by the rationalization of certain private label lower margin fully cooked breaded poultry SKUs.

Operating income for the Retail segment increased 30.0% to $9.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $7.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, favorable net price realization of raw material deflation, volume growth, and productivity savings.

Convenience

Net sales for the Convenience segment increased 20.7% to $62.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $51.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, reflecting organic volume growth (19.8%), acquired volume (0.5%), and favorable mix (1.5%) partially offset by a reduction in net pricing (1.1%). Volume growth was driven by new product introductions and increased distribution to convenience stores.


Operating income for the Convenience segment increased 43.4% to $11.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $8.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, reflecting productivity savings and positive price realization net of raw material deflation.

Industrial

Net sales for the Industrial segment decreased 1.9% to $21.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $21.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, reflecting lower volume (8.8%), a reduction in net pricing (2.1%), and unfavorable mix (0.1%), partially offset by the benefit of acquired volume (9.1%). The volume decline reflects changes in order patterns for certain key customers in the segment.

Operating income for the Industrial segment declined to $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 from $1.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily the result of lower volumes.

Unallocated Corporate Expenses

Unallocated corporate expenses decreased to $12.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 from $13.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.

Outlook

For full year 2017, AdvancePierre expects net sales in the range of $1.640 billion to $1.670 billion, including organic volume growth of 2.0-3.0% in AdvancePierre’s three core segments and a full year of the Allied Specialty Foods business acquired in October 2016. The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $315 million to $325 million. AdvancePierre expects Adjusted Diluted Net Income per Share in the range of $1.30 to $1.37 which includes an effective income tax rate of approximately 39%.

AdvancePierre provides earnings guidance only on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Net Income per Share guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments that could be made for deferred taxes; merger and acquisition-related expenses; non-cash stock based compensation; and other charges reflected in the Company’s reconciliation of historic non-GAAP financial measures, the amounts of which, based on past experience, could be material. For additional information regarding AdvancePierre’s non-GAAP financial measures, see “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

“Adjusted Net Income” (which excludes income tax credits related to reversal of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, charges related to the refinancing of AdvancePierre’s credit facilities, restructuring expenses, sponsor fees and expenses, merger and acquisition expenses, public filing expenses and other items), “Adjusted Diluted Net Income per Share,” “EBITDA” (net income before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and loss on modification and extinguishment of term loans), and “Adjusted EBITDA” (EBITDA as adjusted for restructuring expenses, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, sponsor fees and expenses, merger and acquisition expenses and public filing expenses, and other items) are “non-GAAP financial measures.” A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of financial performance that excludes or includes amounts that are different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in AdvancePierre’s consolidated balance sheets and related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows.

AdvancePierre presents Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Net Income per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as performance measures because it believes these measures facilitate a comparison of its operating performance on a consistent basis from period-to-period and provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business than measures under GAAP can provide alone. AdvancePierre also believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful tools because they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies in industries similar to AdvancePierre’s. However, AdvancePierre’s definition of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.

AdvancePierre also believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating its operating performance because it provides a means to evaluate the operating performance of its business on an ongoing basis using criteria


that management uses for evaluation and planning purposes. Because Adjusted EBITDA facilitates internal comparisons of AdvancePierre’s historical financial position and operating performance on a more consistent basis, management also uses Adjusted EBITDA in measuring AdvancePierre’s performance relative to that of its competitors, in communications with its board of directors concerning its operating performance and in evaluating acquisition opportunities. In addition, targets for Adjusted EBITDA are among the measures AdvancePierre uses to evaluate management’s performance for purposes of determining their compensation.

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Because of these limitations, investors should rely primarily on the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and use non-GAAP financial measures only as a supplement. In evaluating non-GAAP financial measures, investors should be aware that in the future AdvancePierre may incur expenses similar to those for which adjustments are made in calculating Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Net Income per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to AdvancePierre to invest in the growth of its business.

Additional information regarding EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, and a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income is included in the tables below for the fourth quarter and full year of 2016 and 2015, along with the components of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Also included below are reconciliations of Adjusted Net Income to net income for the fourth quarter and full year of 2016 and 2015.
