EAGLE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: LW) announced today its fiscal third quarter 2022 results and updated its fiscal 2022 outlook.
“We continued to make financial and operating progress in the quarter through strong execution of pricing actions to manage significant input, manufacturing and supply chain cost inflation,” said Tom Werner, President and CEO. “Our pricing actions, along with manufacturing productivity and cost mitigation efforts, drove sequential and year-over-year improvement in our gross margin despite the Omicron variant affecting demand across our restaurant and foodservice channels, and disrupting production and distribution operations more than we anticipated. In addition, constraints in global logistics networks continued to significantly limit our international sales volumes.”
“We are managing through this challenging macro environment well and remain on track to deliver our financial targets for fiscal 2022. The increase in our potato costs resulting from the exceptionally poor crop harvested in fall 2021 in the Pacific Northwest is in line with expectations, and we have secured enough raw potatoes to meet our near-term production forecast. We plan to continue to execute on our pricing, productivity and cost management actions to mitigate the effect of inflation, and drive run-rate and throughput improvements in our factories. Our capacity expansions in Idaho and China are on schedule, and we remain confident that continuing to invest in our business and executing on our strategies will have us well positioned to support the needs of customers and drive long-term growth.”

Q3 2022 Commentary
Net sales increased $59.2 million to $955.0 million, up 7 percent versus the prior year quarter. Price/mix increased 12 percent, primarily reflecting the benefit of pricing actions across each of the Company’s business segments to offset input, manufacturing, and transportation cost inflation. Volume declined 5 percent, reflecting lower export volume and lower shipments to retail channels. The Company increased shipments to restaurant and foodservice channels in North America, although growth was tempered by softer restaurant traffic as a result of the effects of the Omicron variant of the COVID-19 virus and an inability to fully serve customer demand due to widespread industry supply chain constraints, including labor and commodities shortages, that resulted in lower production run-rates and throughput in the factories.
Income from operations increased $33.2 million to $133.8 million, up 33 percent versus the prior year quarter, reflecting higher gross profit and lower selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). Gross profit increased $24.3 million, as the benefits from higher price/mix more than offset the impact of higher manufacturing and distribution costs on a per pound basis, as well as lower sales volumes. The higher costs per pound primarily reflected double-digit cost inflation from key inputs, particularly raw materials such as edible oils, ingredients such as grains and starches used in product coatings, and raw potatoes, as well as higher transportation, packaging, and labor costs. The increase in costs per pound also reflected the effects of labor and commodities shortages on production run-rates, as well as lower raw potato utilization rates. The increase in per pound costs was partially offset by supply chain productivity savings. The increase in gross profit also included a $1.7 million increase in unrealized mark-to-market adjustments associated with commodity hedging contracts, which includes a $3.6 million gain in the current quarter, compared with a $1.9 million gain related to these items in the prior year quarter.
SG&A declined $8.9 million compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower consulting expenses associated with improving the Company’s commercial and supply chain operations, lower compensation and benefits expense, and a $1.9 million decrease in advertising and promotion expenses (“A&P”). The decrease in SG&A was partially offset by higher information technology infrastructure costs, including expenses related to the planning and design of the Company’s new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, as well as unfavorable foreign exchange expense. Approximately $2 million of the ERP-related expenses recognized in the quarter consisted primarily of consulting expenses that will not continue after the Company implements its new ERP system, compared to approximately $1 million of ERP-related expenses in the prior year quarter.
Net income was $106.6 million, up $40.5 million versus the prior year quarter, and Diluted EPS was $0.73, up $0.28 versus the prior year quarter. The increases were driven by higher income from operations and equity method investment earnings.
Adjusted EBITDA including unconsolidated joint ventures(1) increased $52.5 million to $219.6 million, up 31 percent versus the prior year quarter, driven by higher income from operations and equity method investment earnings.
The Company’s effective tax rate(2) in the third fiscal quarter was 22.6 percent, versus 19.8 percent in the prior year quarter. The Company’s effective tax rate varies from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21 percent principally due to the impact of U.S. state taxes, foreign taxes, permanent differences, and discrete items.

Net sales for the Global segment, which is generally comprised of the top 100 North American based quick service (“QSR”) and full-service restaurant chain customers as well as all of the Company’s international sales, increased $9.4 million to $487.9 million, up 2 percent versus the prior year quarter, with price/mix up 8 percent and volume down 6 percent. The benefit of domestic and international product and freight pricing actions to offset inflation, as well as favorable mix, drove the increase in price/mix. Lower export shipments due to limited shipping container availability and disruptions to ocean freight networks drove the decline in sales volumes. Sales volumes to North American large QSR and casual dining restaurant chain customers increased, although this increase was tempered by softer consumer traffic as a result of the effects of the Omicron variant.
Global segment product contribution margin declined $6.3 million to $73.0 million, down 8 percent versus the prior year quarter. Higher manufacturing and distribution costs per pound as well as lower sales volumes more than offset the benefit of favorable price/mix.

Net sales for the Foodservice segment, which services North American foodservice distributors and restaurant chains generally outside the top 100 North American based restaurant chain customers, increased $75.0 million to $294.5 million, up 34 percent versus the prior year quarter, with price/mix up 22 percent and volume up 12 percent. The benefits of product and freight pricing actions taken earlier in the year to offset inflation, as well as favorable mix, drove the increase in price/mix. The ongoing recovery in demand at full-service restaurants and in non-commercial channels (such as lodging and hospitality, healthcare, schools and universities, sports and entertainment, and workplace environments) drove the increase in sales volumes. While shipments to restaurants have essentially returned to pre-pandemic levels, demand in non-commercial channels remain below pre-pandemic levels. The segment’s overall volume growth was tempered by softer restaurant and non-commercial traffic as a result of the effects of the Omicron variant, as well as an inability to fully serve customer demand due to widespread industry supply chain constraints, including labor shortages, that resulted in lower production run-rates and throughput in the factories.
Foodservice segment product contribution margin increased $36.5 million to $106.7 million, up 52 percent compared to the prior year quarter. Favorable price, volume and mix drove the increase, and were partially offset by higher manufacturing and distribution costs per pound.

Net sales for the Retail segment, which includes sales of branded and private label products to grocery, mass merchant, and club customers in North America, declined $18.9 million to $143.6 million, down 12 percent versus the prior year quarter, with volume down 24 percent and price/mix up 12 percent. Lower shipments of private label products, resulting from incremental losses of certain low-margin business, as well as lower shipments of branded products, drove the sales volume decline. The decline in branded product shipments reflected an inability to fully serve customer demand due to lower production run-rates and throughput in the factories. Product and freight pricing actions across the branded and private label portfolios to offset inflation, as well as improved mix, drove the increase in price/mix.
Retail segment product contribution margin declined $1.5 million to $31.6 million, down 5 percent versus the prior year quarter. Lower sales volumes and higher manufacturing and distribution costs per pound drove the decline, partially offset by favorable price/mix and a $1.6 million decrease in A&P expenses.
Equity Method Investment Earnings
Equity method investment earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures in Europe, the U.S., and South America were $29.7 million and $11.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively. Equity method investment earnings included a $19.6 million unrealized gain related to mark-to-market adjustments associated with currency and commodity hedging contracts in the current quarter, compared to a $2.2 million unrealized gain related to these items in the prior year quarter. The increase in mark-to-market adjustments in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, primarily relates to changes in the value of natural gas derivatives at Lamb-Weston/Meijer as commodity markets in Europe have experienced significant volatility.
Excluding the mark-to-market adjustments, earnings from equity method investments increased $1.2 million compared to the prior year quarter. The increase reflects the benefit of favorable price/mix and higher sales volumes, largely offset by input cost inflation and higher manufacturing and distribution costs in both Europe and the U.S.
Cash Flow and Liquidity
In the first three quarters of fiscal 2022, net cash from operating activities was $174.0 million, down $200.8 million versus the prior year period, primarily due to unfavorable changes in working capital and lower earnings. Capital expenditures, including information technology expenditures, were $227.0 million, up $120.3 million versus the prior year period, reflecting increased investments to support capacity expansion projects.
At the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company had $428.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and no borrowings outstanding under its $1.0 billion revolving credit facility.
Capital Returned to Shareholders
In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company returned a total of $84.3 million to shareholders, including $34.3 million in cash dividends and $50.0 million through share repurchases. The Company repurchased 763,777 shares during the quarter at an average price per share of $65.46.
Fiscal 2022 Outlook
The Company continues to expect fiscal 2022 net sales growth will be above its long-term target of low-to-mid single digits. The Company anticipates net sales growth in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 will be driven largely by price/mix, reflecting the Company’s pricing actions to offset input and transportation cost inflation. The Company expects sales volumes in the fourth quarter will continue to be tempered by disruptions to the Company’s production and logistics networks, as well as the effects of inflation and COVID-19 variants on restaurant traffic and consumer demand.
The Company expects net income and Adjusted EBITDA including unconsolidated joint ventures(1) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 will continue to be pressured, as it manages through significant inflation for key production inputs, transportation and packaging, as well as industrywide operational challenges, including labor and commodities shortages, resulting from volatility in the broader supply chain. In addition, the Company expects higher raw potato costs on a per pound basis due to the impact of extreme summer heat that negatively affected the yield and quality of potato crops in the Pacific Northwest.
Taking these headwinds into account, the Company expects its full year fiscal 2022 gross margin to be 19 percent to 20 percent. The Company previously expected its full year fiscal 2022 gross margin to be 18 percent to 20 percent.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company is targeting a gross margin of 19 percent to 21 percent. In addition, the Company expects that ongoing investments in information technology, including the second phase of its ERP project, will increase SG&A expenses as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. The Company expects that these investments will improve its ability to support growth and margin improvement over the long-term.
In addition, for fiscal 2022, the Company continues to expect:
The Company reduced its estimate for cash used for capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, to approximately $325 million from its previous estimate of $450 million, due to the projected timing of expenditures related to certain capacity expansion projects.

__________________________

Product contribution margin is one of the primary measures reported to the Company’s chief operating decision maker for purposes of allocating resources to the Company’s segments and assessing their performance. Product contribution margin represents net sales less cost of sales and advertising and promotion expenses. Product contribution margin includes advertising and promotion expenses because those expenses are directly associated with the performance of the Company’s segments. Product contribution margin, when presented on a consolidated basis, is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this press release for a description of non-GAAP financial measures and the table above for a reconciliation of product contribution margin on a consolidated basis to gross profit. |

The Other segment primarily includes the Company’s vegetable and dairy businesses and unrealized mark-to-market adjustments associated with commodity hedging contracts. Unrealized mark-to-market adjustments and realized settlements associated with commodity hedging contracts reported in the Other segment included a gain of $2.8 million and a gain of $4.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended February 27, 2022 and February 28, 2021, respectively; and a loss of $14.1 million and a gain of $16.3 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended February 27, 2022 and February 28, 2021, respectively. |

Adjusted interest expense, income tax expense, net income, and diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures. Management excludes items impacting comparability between periods as it believes these items are not necessarily reflective of the ongoing operations of Lamb Weston. These non-GAAP financial measures provide a means to evaluate the performance of Lamb Weston on an ongoing basis using the same measures that are frequently used by the Company’s management and assist in providing a meaningful comparison between periods. See also “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this press release. |

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA including unconsolidated joint ventures are non-GAAP financial measures. Lamb Weston presents these measures because the Company believes they provide a means to evaluate the performance of the Company on an ongoing basis using the same measure frequently used by the Company’s management and assist in providing a meaningful comparison between periods. Any analysis of non-GAAP financial measures should be done only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be a substitute for GAAP financial measures and should not be used as such. See also “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this press release. |

Lamb Weston holds equity interests in three potato processing joint ventures, including 50% of Lamb-Weston/Meijer v.o.f., Lamb-Weston/RDO Frozen, and Lamb Weston Alimentos Modernos S.A., and accounts for these investments under the equity method of accounting. See Note 4, Investments in Joint Ventures, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Part II, Item 8.

Обновленный прогноз на 2022 финансовый год
Чистый рост продаж превысил долгосрочный целевой диапазон от низких до средних однозначных цифр
Ожидается, что чистая прибыль и скорректированная EBITDA, включая неконсолидированные совместные предприятия (1), будут испытывать давление в течение оставшейся части 2022 финансового года из-за более высоких затрат на картофель, сырье и транспортные расходы
Валовая прибыль от 19% до 20%; предыдущая оценка валовой прибыли составляла от 18% до 20%
ИГЛ, Айдахо-- (BUSINESS WIRE)--Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: LW) объявила сегодня о результатах за третий финансовый квартал 2022 года и обновила прогноз на 2022 финансовый год.
“Мы продолжали добиваться финансового и операционного прогресса в этом квартале благодаря строгому соблюдению ценовых мер для управления значительным ростом затрат на ввод, производство и цепочки поставок”, - сказал Том Вернер, президент и главный исполнительный директор. “Наши действия по ценообразованию, наряду с производительностью производства и усилиями по снижению затрат, привели к последовательному и годовому увеличению нашей валовой прибыли, несмотря на то, что вариант Omicron повлиял на спрос в наших ресторанах и каналах общественного питания и нарушил производственные и дистрибьюторские операции больше, чем мы ожидали. Кроме того, ограничения в глобальных логистических сетях продолжали существенно ограничивать объемы наших международных продаж”.
“Мы хорошо справляемся с этой сложной макроэкономической ситуацией и остаемся на пути к достижению наших финансовых целей на 2022 финансовый год. Увеличение наших затрат на картофель в результате исключительно плохого урожая, собранного осенью 2021 года на северо-западе Тихого океана, соответствует ожиданиям, и мы закупили достаточно сырого картофеля, чтобы выполнить наш краткосрочный прогноз производства. Мы планируем продолжать осуществлять наши действия по ценообразованию, производительности и управлению затратами, чтобы смягчить влияние инфляции и повысить производительность и производительность на наших заводах. Расширение наших производственных мощностей в Айдахо и Китае идет по графику, и мы по-прежнему уверены, что продолжение инвестиций в наш бизнес и реализация наших стратегий позволят нам иметь хорошие возможности для удовлетворения потребностей клиентов и стимулирования долгосрочного роста”.

Комментарий за 3 квартал 2022 года
Чистый объем продаж увеличился на 59,2 миллиона долларов до 955,0 миллиона долларов, что на 7 процентов больше, чем в предыдущем квартале. Соотношение цены и качества увеличилось на 12 процентов, что в первую очередь отражает преимущества ценовых действий в каждом из бизнес-сегментов Компании для компенсации инфляции затрат на ввод, производство и транспортировку. Объем снизился на 5 процентов, что отражает снижение объема экспорта и сокращение поставок в розничные каналы. Компания увеличила поставки в рестораны и каналы общественного питания в Северной Америке, хотя рост был сдержан снижением посещаемости ресторанов в результате воздействия омикронного варианта вируса COVID-19 и неспособности полностью удовлетворить потребительский спрос из-за широко распространенных ограничений в цепочке поставок отрасли, включая нехватку рабочей силы и товаров, которые это привело к снижению производительности и производительности на заводах.
Доход от операционной деятельности увеличился на 33,2 млн долларов до 133,8 млн долларов, что на 33% больше по сравнению с предыдущим кварталом, что отражает более высокую валовую прибыль и более низкие коммерческие, общие и административные расходы (“SG&A”). Валовая прибыль увеличилась на 24,3 миллиона долларов, поскольку выгоды от более высокой цены / сочетания более чем компенсировали влияние более высоких производственных и дистрибьюторских затрат в расчете на фунт, а также более низких объемов продаж. Более высокие затраты на фунт в первую очередь отражают двузначную инфляцию затрат на ключевые ресурсы, особенно на сырье, такое как пищевые масла, ингредиенты, такие как зерно и крахмалы, используемые в покрытиях продуктов, и сырой картофель, а также более высокие затраты на транспортировку, упаковку и оплату труда. Увеличение затрат на фунт также отражает влияние нехватки рабочей силы и товаров на темпы производства, а также более низкие показатели использования сырого картофеля. Увеличение затрат на фунт было частично компенсировано снижением производительности цепочки поставок. Увеличение валовой прибыли также включало увеличение на 1,7 миллиона долларов нереализованных корректировок рыночной цены, связанных с контрактами на хеджирование сырьевых товаров, что включает в себя прибыль в размере 3,6 миллиона долларов в текущем квартале по сравнению с прибылью в размере 1,9 миллиона долларов, связанной с этими статьями в предыдущем квартале.
SG&A сократились на 8,9 млн долларов по сравнению с предыдущим кварталом, в основном из-за снижения расходов на консультации, связанных с улучшением коммерческих операций Компании и цепочки поставок, снижением расходов на компенсации и льготы, а также снижением расходов на рекламу и продвижение на 1,9 млн долларов (“A&P”). Снижение SG&A было частично компенсировано более высокими затратами на инфраструктуру информационных технологий, включая расходы, связанные с планированием и разработкой новой системы планирования корпоративных ресурсов Компании (“ERP”), а также неблагоприятными курсовыми расходами. Примерно 2 миллиона долларов расходов, связанных с ERP, признанных в этом квартале, состояли в основном из расходов на консультации, которые не будут продолжаться после того, как Компания внедрит свою новую систему ERP, по сравнению с примерно 1 миллионом долларов расходов, связанных с ERP, в предыдущем квартале.
Чистая прибыль составила 106,6 млн долларов, что на 40,5 млн долларов больше, чем в предыдущем квартале, а разводненная прибыль на акцию составила 0,73 доллара, что на 0,28 доллара больше, чем в предыдущем квартале. Рост был обусловлен более высокими доходами от операционной деятельности и доходами от инвестиций по методу долевого участия.
Скорректированный показатель EBITDA с учетом неконсолидированных совместных предприятий(1) увеличился на 52,5 млн долларов до 219,6 млн долларов, что на 31% больше по сравнению с предыдущим кварталом, что обусловлено более высокими доходами от операционной деятельности и доходами от инвестиций по методу долевого участия.
Эффективная налоговая ставка Компании(2) в третьем финансовом квартале составила 22,6 процента по сравнению с 19,8 процента в предыдущем квартале. Эффективная налоговая ставка Компании отличается от установленной законом налоговой ставки США в размере 21 процента, главным образом из-за влияния налогов штата США, иностранных налогов, постоянных разниц и отдельных статей.

Чистые продажи в глобальном сегменте, который, как правило, включает 100 крупнейших североамериканских клиентов быстрого обслуживания (“QSR”) и сети ресторанов с полным спектром услуг, а также все международные продажи Компании, увеличились на 9,4 млн долларов до 487,9 млн долларов, что на 2% больше по сравнению с предыдущим кварталом, при этом соотношение цена/качество увеличилось на 8 процентов, а объем снизился на 6 процентов. Преимущества внутренних и международных мер по ценообразованию на товары и фрахт для компенсации инфляции, а также благоприятное соотношение цены и качества привели к увеличению соотношения цены и качества. Снижение экспортных поставок из-за ограниченного наличия морских контейнеров и сбоев в работе морских грузовых сетей привело к снижению объемов продаж. Объемы продаж крупным североамериканским клиентам QSR и сети ресторанов casual dining увеличились, хотя этот рост был сдержан снижением потребительского трафика в результате воздействия варианта Omicron.
Маржа вклада продуктов глобального сегмента снизилась на $6,3 млн до $73,0 млн, что на 8% меньше по сравнению с предыдущим кварталом. Более высокие производственные и дистрибьюторские затраты на фунт, а также более низкие объемы продаж с лихвой компенсируют преимущества выгодного соотношения цены и качества.

Чистые продажи в сегменте общественного питания, который обслуживает североамериканских дистрибьюторов общественного питания и сети ресторанов, как правило, не входящих в топ-100 клиентов североамериканских сетей ресторанов, выросли на 75,0 млн долларов до 294,5 млн долларов, что на 34% больше по сравнению с предыдущим кварталом, при этом соотношение цены и качества увеличилось на 22%, а объем - на 12%. Преимущества действий по ценообразованию на товары и фрахт, предпринятых ранее в этом году для компенсации инфляции, а также благоприятное соотношение цены и качества привели к увеличению соотношения цены и качества. Продолжающееся восстановление спроса в ресторанах с полным спектром услуг и в некоммерческих каналах (таких как жилье и гостиничный бизнес, здравоохранение, школы и университеты, спорт и развлечения, а также условия на рабочих местах) привело к увеличению объемов продаж. В то время как поставки в рестораны по существу вернулись к докомпандемическому уровню, спрос в некоммерческих каналах остается ниже докомпандемического уровня. Общий рост объема продаж в сегменте сдерживался снижением посещаемости ресторанов и некоммерческих организаций в результате применения варианта Omicron, а также неспособностью полностью удовлетворить потребительский спрос из-за широко распространенных ограничений в цепочке поставок отрасли, включая нехватку рабочей силы, что привело к снижению производительности и пропускной способности в на заводах.
Маржа продуктового вклада сегмента общественного питания увеличилась на 36,5 млн долларов до 106,7 млн долларов, что на 52% больше по сравнению с предыдущим кварталом. Благоприятная цена, объем и ассортимент способствовали росту и были частично компенсированы более высокими производственными и дистрибьюторскими затратами на фунт.

Чистый объем продаж в розничном сегменте, который включает продажи фирменных товаров и товаров под частными торговыми марками клиентам бакалейных магазинов, магазинов массового обслуживания и клубов в Северной Америке, снизился на 18,9 млн долларов до 143,6 млн долларов, что на 12% меньше по сравнению с предыдущим кварталом, при этом объем продаж снизился на 24%, а соотношение цены и качества выросло на 12%. Снижение объемов поставок продукции под частными торговыми марками, вызванное дополнительными убытками некоторых низкорентабельных предприятий, а также снижением поставок фирменной продукции, привело к снижению объема продаж. Снижение поставок фирменной продукции отражает неспособность в полной мере удовлетворить потребительский спрос из-за более низких производственных показателей и пропускной способности на заводах. Действия по ценообразованию на продукцию и фрахт в портфелях брендов и частных торговых марок, направленные на компенсацию инфляции, а также улучшение ассортимента привели к увеличению соотношения цены и качества.
Маржа продуктового вклада розничного сегмента снизилась на 1,5 миллиона долларов до 31,6 миллиона долларов, что на 5 процентов меньше, чем в предыдущем квартале. Снижение объемов продаж и более высокие производственные и дистрибьюторские затраты на фунт привели к снижению, частично компенсированному благоприятным соотношением цены и качества и снижением расходов на A &P на 1,6 млн. долл.
Инвестиционный доход по Методу долевого участия
Доходы от инвестиций по методу долевого участия от неконсолидированных совместных предприятий в Европе, США и Южной Америке составили 29,7 млн долларов США и 11,1 млн долларов США за третий квартал 2022 и 2021 финансовых годов соответственно. Доход от инвестиций по методу долевого участия включал нереализованную прибыль в размере 19,6 млн. долларов США, связанную с корректировками рыночной цены, связанными с контрактами на хеджирование валютных и товарных позиций в текущем квартале, по сравнению с нереализованной прибылью в размере 2,2 млн. долларов США, связанной с этими статьями в предыдущем квартале. Увеличение корректировок рыночной цены в третьем квартале 2022 финансового года в первую очередь связано с изменениями стоимости производных инструментов на природный газ в Lamb-Weston/Meijer, поскольку сырьевые рынки в Европе испытывают значительную волатильность.
Без учета корректировки рыночной цены прибыль от инвестиций по методу долевого участия увеличилась на 1,2 миллиона долларов по сравнению с предыдущим кварталом. Увеличение отражает преимущества благоприятного соотношения цены и качества и более высоких объемов продаж, что в значительной степени компенсируется инфляцией затрат на сырье и более высокими издержками производства и дистрибуции как в Европе, так и в США.
Денежный поток и Ликвидность
За первые три квартала 2022 финансового года чистые денежные средства от операционной деятельности составили 174,0 млн долларов, что на 200,8 млн долларов меньше, чем за аналогичный период предыдущего года, в основном из-за неблагоприятных изменений в оборотном капитале и снижения прибыли. Капитальные затраты, включая расходы на информационные технологии, составили 227,0 млн. долл. США, что на 120,3 млн. долл. США больше, чем за аналогичный период предыдущего года, что отражает увеличение инвестиций в поддержку проектов по расширению мощностей.
На конец третьего квартала 2022 финансового года Компания располагала денежными средствами и их эквивалентами на сумму 428,6 миллиона долларов и не имела непогашенных займов в рамках возобновляемой кредитной линии на сумму 1,0 миллиарда долларов.
Капитал, возвращенный акционерам
В третьем квартале 2022 финансового года Компания вернула акционерам в общей сложности 84,3 миллиона долларов, в том числе 34,3 миллиона долларов в виде дивидендов наличными и 50,0 миллионов долларов в результате обратного выкупа акций. В течение квартала Компания выкупила 763 777 акций по средней цене за акцию в 65,46 доллара.
Прогноз на 2022 финансовый год
Компания по-прежнему ожидает, что чистый рост продаж в 2022 финансовом году будет выше ее долгосрочного целевого показателя в однозначных цифрах от низких до средних. Компания ожидает, что рост чистых продаж в четвертом квартале 2022 финансового года будет в значительной степени обусловлен соотношением цены и качества, отражающим действия Компании по ценообразованию, направленные на компенсацию инфляции затрат на ввод и транспортировку. Компания ожидает, что объемы продаж в четвертом квартале по-прежнему будут сдерживаться сбоями в работе производственных и логистических сетей Компании, а также влиянием инфляции и вариантов COVID-19 на посещаемость ресторанов и потребительский спрос.
Компания ожидает, что чистая прибыль и скорректированная EBITDA, включая неконсолидированные совместные предприятия (1), в четвертом квартале 2022 финансового года будут по-прежнему находиться под давлением, поскольку она справляется со значительной инфляцией на ключевые производственные ресурсы, транспортировку и упаковку, а также с общепромышленными операционными проблемами, включая нехватку рабочей силы и товаров, вызванную волатильностью в более широкая цепочка поставок. Кроме того, Компания ожидает более высоких затрат на сырой картофель в расчете на фунт из-за воздействия экстремальной летней жары, которая негативно сказалась на урожайности и качестве картофеля на северо-западе Тихого океана.
Принимая во внимание эти препятствия, Компания ожидает, что валовая прибыль за весь 2022 финансовый год составит от 19 до 20 процентов. Ранее компания ожидала, что ее валовая прибыль за весь 2022 финансовый год составит от 18 до 20 процентов.
На четвертый квартал 2022 финансового года Компания нацелена на валовую прибыль в размере от 19 до 21 процента. Кроме того, Компания ожидает, что текущие инвестиции в информационные технологии, включая вторую фазу ее проекта ERP, увеличат расходы на SG &A по сравнению с четвертым кварталом 2021 финансового года. Компания ожидает, что эти инвестиции улучшат ее способность поддерживать рост и повышение рентабельности в долгосрочной перспективе.
Кроме того, в 2022 финансовом году Компания продолжает ожидать:
Компания снизила свою оценку денежных средств, используемых для капитальных затрат, без учета приобретений, примерно до 325 миллионов долларов США с предыдущей оценки в 450 миллионов долларов США из-за прогнозируемых сроков расходов, связанных с определенными проектами по расширению мощностей.

__________________________

Product contribution margin is one of the primary measures reported to the Company’s chief operating decision maker for purposes of allocating resources to the Company’s segments and assessing their performance. Product contribution margin represents net sales less cost of sales and advertising and promotion expenses. Product contribution margin includes advertising and promotion expenses because those expenses are directly associated with the performance of the Company’s segments. Product contribution margin, when presented on a consolidated basis, is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this press release for a description of non-GAAP financial measures and the table above for a reconciliation of product contribution margin on a consolidated basis to gross profit. |

The Other segment primarily includes the Company’s vegetable and dairy businesses and unrealized mark-to-market adjustments associated with commodity hedging contracts. Unrealized mark-to-market adjustments and realized settlements associated with commodity hedging contracts reported in the Other segment included a gain of $2.8 million and a gain of $4.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended February 27, 2022 and February 28, 2021, respectively; and a loss of $14.1 million and a gain of $16.3 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended February 27, 2022 and February 28, 2021, respectively. |

Adjusted interest expense, income tax expense, net income, and diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures. Management excludes items impacting comparability between periods as it believes these items are not necessarily reflective of the ongoing operations of Lamb Weston. These non-GAAP financial measures provide a means to evaluate the performance of Lamb Weston on an ongoing basis using the same measures that are frequently used by the Company’s management and assist in providing a meaningful comparison between periods. See also “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this press release. |

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA including unconsolidated joint ventures are non-GAAP financial measures.

Any analysis of non-GAAP financial measures should be done only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be a substitute for GAAP financial measures and should not be used as such. See also “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this press release. |
