SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

The Company operates under two reportable segments: North America and International.

North America
North America net sales in the third quarter were $287.5 million, a decrease of 10% compared to the prior year period. When adjusted for foreign exchange, divestitures and discontinued brands, net sales decreased 8% from the prior year period. On an adjusted basis, the decrease was primarily driven by a large program with a wholesale club which was not repeated in the current quarter and pantry stocking in the prior year quarter as a result of stay-at-home orders at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Segment gross profit in the third quarter was $78.5 million, a 5% decrease from the prior year period. Adjusted gross profit was $81.8 million, a decrease of 3% from the prior year period. Gross margin was 27.3%, a 152 basis point increase from the prior year period, and adjusted gross margin was 28.4%, a 208 basis point increase from the prior year period.

Segment operating income in the third quarter was $39.5 million, a 37% increase from the prior year period. Adjusted operating income was $43.9 million, a 15% increase from the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter was $48.5 million, a 13% increase from the prior year period. As a percentage of sales, North America adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.9%, a 348 basis point increase from the prior year period.

International
International net sales in the third quarter were $205.1 million, a decrease of 12% compared to the prior year period. When adjusted for foreign exchange, divestitures and discontinued brands, net sales decreased 3% compared to the prior year period. On an adjusted basis, the decrease was mainly due to United Kingdom customer inventory reductions that were elevated in Q2 in anticipation of potential Brexit supply disruptions as well as pantry stocking in the prior year quarter as a result of stay-at-home orders at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Segment gross profit in the third quarter was $51.4 million, a 3% increase from the prior year period. Adjusted gross profit was $53.3 million, an increase of 7% from the prior year period. Gross margin was 25.1%, a 368 basis point increase from the prior year period, and adjusted gross margin was 26.0%, a 464 basis point increase from the prior year period.

Segment operating income in the third quarter was $26.8 million, a 44% increase from the prior year period. Adjusted operating income was $29.6 million, an increase of 28% from the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter was $36.7 million, a 19% increase from the prior year period. As a percentage of sales, International adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.9%, a 463 basis point increase from the prior year period.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company repurchased 0.2 million shares, or 0.2% of the outstanding common stock, at an average price of $41.86 per share for a total of $8.6 million, excluding commissions under our share repurchase program. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had remaining authorization of $109.5 million under this program.

SALE OF NORTH AMERICA NON-DAIRY BEVERAGES BRANDS, DREAM® AND WESTSOY®

On April 15, 2021, the Company completed the divestiture of its North America non-dairy beverages brands, Dream® and WestSoy®, to SunOpta Inc. for $33 million subject to customary post-closing adjustments.

FISCAL YEAR 2021 GUIDANCE

The Company reaffirms its expectation for gross and adjusted EBITDA margin expansion as well as strong double-digit adjusted EBITDA and operating free cash flow growth for fiscal year 2021. For the fourth quarter fiscal year 2021, in comparison to the prior year period, the Company expects (a) strong gross margin and EBITDA margin improvement, (b) adjusted EBITDA growth near 10% and (c) 5% to 8% decline in net sales when adjusted for foreign exchange, divestitures and discontinued brands. Compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, we expect mid-single digit growth in net sales when adjusted for foreign exchange, divestitures and discontinued brands.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted operating income and its related margin, adjusted gross margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, net sales adjusted for the impact of foreign exchange, divestitures and discontinued brands, adjusted EBITDA and its related margin and operating free cash flow. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures are provided herein in the tables. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented provide useful additional information to investors about current trends in the Company's operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded. They should be read only in connection with the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows presented in accordance with GAAP.

Certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are not reconciled to the comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures. The Company is not able to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts because the Company is unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact GAAP measures but would not impact the non-GAAP measures. Such items may include income taxes, interest expense, stock-based compensation, impairments, gains or losses on sales of businesses, foreign exchange movements and other items. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company's GAAP financial results.

The Company believes presenting net sales at constant currency provides useful information to investors because it provides transparency to underlying performance in the Company's consolidated net sales by excluding the effect that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations have on period-to-period comparability given the volatility in foreign currency exchange markets. To present this information for historical periods, current period net sales for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average monthly exchange rates in effect during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, rather than at the actual average monthly exchange rate in effect during the current period of the current fiscal year. As a result, the foreign currency impact is equal to the current year results in local currencies multiplied by the change in average foreign currency exchange rate between the current fiscal period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

The Company provides net sales adjusted for the impact of foreign currency, divestitures and discontinued brands to understand the growth rate of net sales excluding the impact of such items. The Company's management believes net sales adjusted for such items is useful to investors because it enables them to better understand the growth of our business from period-to-period.

The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, equity in net (income) loss of equity-method investees, stock-based compensation, net, unrealized currency gains and losses, productivity and transformation costs, proceeds from an insurance claim, impairment of long-lived assets and intangibles, warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, gains or losses on sales of businesses, litigation and related expenses, plant closure related costs, SKU rationalization and inventory write-downs and other adjustments. The Company's management believes that these presentations provide useful information to management, analysts and investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its results of operations and financial condition. In addition, management uses these measures for reviewing the financial results of the Company as well as a component of performance-based executive compensation.

The Company defines operating free cash flow as cash provided by or used in operating activities from continuing operations (a GAAP measure) less purchases of property, plant and equipment. The Company views operating free cash flow as an important measure because it is one factor in evaluating the amount of cash available for discretionary investments.
