The Middleby Corporation Reports Record First Quarter Results

  • Revenue of $1,007 million, a 1% increase year over year
  • Diluted Earnings per share of $1.82 and adjusted net earnings per share of $2.19, an increase of 3% year over year
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $210 million, a 6% increase year over year
  • Profitability grew to an organic adjusted EBITDA margin of 21.1% compared to 19.8% in the prior year
  • Completed the acquisition of Flavor Burst, expanding Middleby’s beverage platform

The Middleby Corporation (NASDAQ: MIDD), a leading worldwide manufacturer of equipment for the commercial foodservice, food processing, and residential kitchen industries, today reported net earnings for the first quarter of 2023.

“We began the year posting solid results at our Commercial Foodservice and Food Processing segments, while our Residential business faced the expected challenges of current market conditions and the impact of inventory destocking at retailers. While these conditions persist for our residential business, we anticipate improvement as the year progresses and inventory levels normalize. Our investments in manufacturing capacities along with improvements in supply chain have returned lead times to normalized levels across most of our businesses and position us to serve our customers in 2023. We continue to have meaningful engagement with customers across all three of our business segments and are excited for the opportunities developing around our latest product innovations addressing labor, energy, speed and sustainability. We continue to invest in our innovation centers in the US and Europe. These centers have proven to be a strategic for demonstrating our new product solutions and driving our long-term growth objectives,” said Tim FitzGerald, CEO of The Middleby Corporation.

2023 First Quarter Financial Results

  • Organic net sales (a non-GAAP measure) increases were reported for the Commercial Foodservice and Food Processing segments due to improvements in market conditions and consumer demand in the first quarter of 2023. A reconciliation of reported net sales by segment is as follows:

(2) Adjusted diluted weighted average number of shares was calculated based on excluding the dilutive effect of shares to be issued upon conversion of the notes to satisfy the amount in excess of the principal since the company's capped call offsets the dilutive impact of the shares underlying the convertible notes. The calculation of adjusted diluted earnings per share excludes the principal portion of the convertible notes as this will always be settled in cash.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The company supplements its consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis with this non-GAAP financial information to provide investors with greater insight, increase transparency and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release do not have standard meanings and may vary from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

The company believes that organic net sales growth, non-GAAP adjusted segment EBITDA, adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted per share measures are useful as supplements to its GAAP results of operations to evaluate certain aspects of its operations and financial performance, and its management team primarily focuses on non-GAAP items in evaluating performance for business planning purposes. The company also believes that these measures assist it with comparing its performance between various reporting periods on a consistent basis, as these measures remove from operating results the impact of items that, in its opinion, do not reflect its core operating performance including, for example, intangibles amortization expense, impairment charges, restructuring expenses, and other charges which management considers to be outside core operating results.

The company believes that free cash flow is an important measure of operating performance because it provides management and investors a measure of cash generated from operations that is available for mandatory payment obligations and investment opportunities, such as funding acquisitions, repaying debt and repurchasing our common stock.

The company believes that its presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful because it provides investors and securities analysts with the same information that Middleby uses internally for purposes of assessing its core operating performance.
