Traeger Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2022 Results, Reiterates Outlook for Full Year 2022

Traeger, Inc. ("Traeger") (NYSE: COOK), creator and category leader of the wood pellet grill, today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

First Quarter FY 22 Highlights

  • Total revenues decreased 5.0% to $223.7 million
  • Gross profit margin of 37.4% down 530 basis points compared to prior year
  • Net loss of $8.4 million; net loss of $0.07 per share
  • Adjusted net income of $20.0 million; adjusted net income of $0.17 per share
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $30.9 million

"Despite the headwinds that we faced in the first quarter, we are pleased to report better than expected revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the quarter. During the first quarter, we continued to execute on our strategic growth pillars. We successfully introduced our new platform of innovation with the launch of our new Timberline and Timberline XL grills. In addition, we expanded our assortment in 350 doors with one of our largest retail partners. In consumables, we expanded our offering of rubs and sauces in over 2,200 doors at Kroger and further expanded grocery door growth for our pellets as well. Our brand health remains strong and we are well positioned for the upcoming summer grilling season. Given that our first quarter revenues benefited from a shift in the timing of grill shipments, as well as our belief that the macro backdrop will remain volatile for the balance of the year, we are reiterating our prior 2022 outlook despite reporting first quarter results ahead of our prior guidance. Looking ahead, we are confident in our model and remain very excited about our long-term potential as disruptors in the industry. I want to thank the Traeger team for their hard work and passion as we continue our journey forward," said Jeremy Andrus, CEO of Traeger.

Operating Results for the First Quarter

Total revenue decreased by 5.0% to $223.7 million, compared to $235.6 million in the first quarter last year.

  • Grills decreased 15.8% to $150.4 million as compared to the first quarter last year. The decrease was driven by a decline in grill unit volumes partially offset by a higher average selling price resulting from price increases taken in the second half of 2021 and early 2022.
  • Consumables decreased 2.8% to $39.7 million as compared to the first quarter last year. The decrease was driven by reduced unit volume of wood pellets and other consumables, partially offset by higher average selling prices of wood pellets.
  • Accessories increased 108.8% to $33.6 million as compared to the first quarter last year. This increase was driven primarily by incremental revenue due to sales of MEATER smart thermometers following the July 2021 acquisition of Apption Labs combined with high demand for Traeger-branded accessories.

North America revenue declined 8.4% in the first quarter compared to the prior year. Rest of World revenues increased 75.6% reflecting the acquisition of Apption Labs and strong growth in the Company's core international markets.

Gross profit decreased to $83.6 million, compared to $100.6 million in the first quarter last year. Gross profit margin was 37.4% in the first quarter, compared to 42.7% in the same period last year. The decrease in gross margin was driven primarily by higher inbound freight costs, partially offset by increased selling prices.

Sales and marketing expenses were $33.1 million, compared to $30.9 million in the first quarter last year. The increase in sales and marketing expense was driven by higher costs related to MEATER, which was not a component of the 2021 comparable period, and by higher equity-based compensation expense.

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $42.9 million, compared to $13.6 million in the first quarter last year. The increase in general and administrative expense was driven by higher equity-based compensation expense of $13.6 million, higher personnel-related expenses, increased professional services fees, and expenses related to MEATER that are not reflected in the comparable period results.

Change in fair value of contingent consideration resulted in additional expense of $1.7 million primarily driven by the increase in the likelihood of achieving the revenue performance targets in the share purchase agreement for the acquisition of Apption Labs, and a shorter discount period.

Net loss was $8.4 million in the first quarter, or a loss of $0.07 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $38.9 million in the first quarter of last year, or $0.36 per diluted share.1

Adjusted net income was $20.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share as compared to adjusted net income of $44.8 million, or $0.41 per diluted share in the first quarter last year.2

Adjusted EBITDA was $30.9 million in the first quarter as compared to $64.1 million in the same period last year.2

2 Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures, as well as definitions for the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release and the reasons for their use, are presented below.

Balance Sheet

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first quarter totaled $11.1 million, compared to $16.7 million at December 31, 2021.

Inventory at end of the first quarter was $164.1 million, compared to $145.0 million at December 31, 2021. While strategically navigating challenges in the global supply chain, we have invested in and managed our inventory balance to a level that represents the right product mix to meet expected demand and targeted levels of safety stock. Inventory costs increased primarily due to macroeconomic factors, including increased freight rates, logistics costs, rising commodity prices and other product costs.

Guidance For Full Year Fiscal 2022

Full year guidance reflects a moderation in year over year sales growth driven by comparing against two years of accelerated retail activity and the impact of inflationary pressures and geopolitical turmoil on consumer sentiment and discretionary spending, as well as gross margin pressures due to global supply chain challenges.

  • Total revenue is expected to be between $800 million and $850 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $70 million and $80 million

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net loss on a forward-looking basis cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts, as the Company is unable to provide reconciling information with respect to provision for income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, other (income) expense, equity-based compensation, non-routine legal expenses, change in fair value of contingent consideration, offering related expenses, and other adjustment items all of which are adjustments to Adjusted EBITDA.

RECONCILIATIONS OF AND OTHER INFORMATION REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(unaudited)

In addition to our results and measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating and comparing our financial and operational performance over multiple periods, identifying trends affecting our business, formulating business plans and making strategic decisions.

Each of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess our financial performance and is also used for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and other interested parties in analyzing our financial performance because it provides a comparable overview of our operations across historical periods. In addition, we believe that providing each of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, together with a reconciliation of net income (loss) to each such measure, helps investors make comparisons between our company and other companies that may have different capital structures, different tax rates, and/or different forms of employee compensation. For example, due to finite-lived intangible assets included on our balance sheet following our corporate reorganization in 2017, we have significant non-cash amortization expense attributable to the nature of our capital structure.

Each of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income is used by our management team as an additional measure of our performance for purposes of business decision-making, including managing expenditures, and evaluating potential acquisitions. Period-to-period comparisons of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income help our management identify additional trends in our financial results that may not be shown solely by period-to-period comparisons of net income or income from continuing operations. In addition, we may use Adjusted EBITDA in the incentive compensation programs applicable to some of our employees. Each of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income has inherent limitations because of the excluded items, and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled metrics used by other companies. The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis.
