CEO Cole Re-Affirms Full-Year Forecast for Record Revenue and
Double-Digit Increase in Adjusted Diluted EPS
SANTA PAULA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Calavo Growers, Inc. (Nasdaq-GS: CVGW) today reported an all-time record
quarter, in which fiscal 2019 second quarter net income rose 16 percent
on an eight percent increase in revenues from the corresponding period
last year on a strong performance in the company’s core fresh-avocado
business. The global avocado-industry leader and expanding provider of
value-added fresh food also said it posted higher revenues, gross
profit, operating income and adjusted net income in the initial six
months of the year.
For the three months ended April 30, 2019, Calavo reported net income of
$16.3 million, equal to $0.93 per diluted share. Excluding certain items
impacting comparability, the company reported adjusted net income(1)
of $16.2 million, equal to $0.92 per adjusted diluted share, which
compares with $14.1 million, or $0.80 per adjusted diluted share, in the
corresponding quarter last year.
Revenues in the second quarter advanced eight percent to $286.2 million
from $264.4 million in the same period a year ago. Gross profit rose by
15 percent to $36.8 million, equal to 12.9 percent of revenues, from
$32.0 million, or 12.1 percent of revenues, in the year-ago second
quarter. Calavo’s operating income climbed by 21 percent to $23.1
million from $19.1 million last year.
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Lee E. Cole stated:
“Calavo delivered all-time record operating performance in the second
quarter, with higher total revenues pacing our double-digit percentage
increases in gross profit, operating income, net income and diluted
earnings per share.
“The leading contributor to these results was our Fresh segment,
especially our core avocado business, which registered yet another
outstanding performance. Avocado unit volume and gross profit increased
significantly year over year—indicative of consumer demand that
continues to track strongly. I previously expressed optimism and
confidence about the prospects for our Fresh segment for this year and
for the longer term, due to the world-class global avocado operation we
have built. The second quarter performance is gratifying validation that
our initiatives to develop dynamic sourcing, production and sales
management have enabled this business to prosper and generate sustained,
strong results.”
Cole continued: “The company’s Renaissance Food Group (RFG) business
segment posted a nine percent increase in sales over the second quarter
last year in spite of several headwinds. As expected, challenges related
to raw-material quality, price and availability that emerged late in the
first quarter continued to impact both sales and profitability during
the most-recent period. Additionally, RFG encountered unexpected
challenges during the second quarter at one of its co-packers related
primarily to a food-safety issue.
“The Calavo Foods segment delivered a solid contribution to total
company revenue and gross profit. Our guacamole business remains a
complementary, strategic fit with our Fresh segment and extends our
presence in the retail-grocery and foodservice categories.”
Net income for the first half ended April 30, 2019 totaled $20.8
million, equal to $1.18 per diluted share, which compares with $21.3
million, or $1.21 per diluted share in last year’s initial six months.
Excluding certain items impacting comparability explained below, the
company reported that first half adjusted net income(1) totaled
$29.1 million, equal to $1.66 per adjusted diluted share, which compares
with $23.6 million, or $1.35 per adjusted diluted share, in the
corresponding period last year.
First-half revenues totaled $544.3 million, an increase of six percent
from $512.3 million in the initial six months of fiscal 2018. Gross
profit rose by 16 percent to $67.7 million, or 12.4 percent of revenues,
from $58.3 million, or 11.4 percent of revenues, in the like period last
year. Operating income climbed by 33 percent to $39.7 million from $29.9
million in the first half of fiscal 2018. Operating income for the
current quarter also includes a gain on the sale and partial leaseback
of the company’s Temecula, Calif. packinghouse of approximately $1.9
million. (Net cash proceeds to Calavo from this transaction were
approximately $6.7 million).
Second quarter sales in Calavo’s Fresh segment rose nearly 10 percent to
$150.9 million from $137.9 million in the corresponding fiscal 2018
quarter. Year-over-year top-line growth in the Fresh segment is
principally attributable to higher avocado and tomato unit sales. Fresh
segment gross profit advanced by $12.6 million or over 80 percent in the
most-recent quarter to $27.8 million, equal to 18.4 percent of segment
sales, from $15.1 million, or 11.0 percent of segment sales, in the
second period last year. As CEO Cole noted in his comments above, gross
profit and margin expansion principally reflects strong avocado
sourcing, sales and production management. Total Fresh segment
(avocados, tomatoes and papayas) unit volume increased by nearly one
million, or more than 19 percent, to 5.7 million units in the
most-recent quarter from 4.7 million in last year’s second quarter.
Sales in the RFG segment rose approximately nine percent to $114.0
million from $104.6 million in the year ago second quarter. The increase
in segment sales is attributable to expanded customer relationships,
most prominently in some of RFG’s newer manufacturing geographies. Sales
growth also benefited from a partial quarter of sales out of RFG’s
newest Atlanta, Ga., manufacturing location, which began operation in
April 2019. Gross profit for the RFG segment equaled $2.8 million, or
2.4 percent of segment sales. This compares to gross profit of $9.3
million, or 8.9 percent of segment sales, in the fiscal 2018 second
quarter. As previously reported, gross profit and margin were impacted
by industry-wide raw-ingredient challenges, as well as specific issues
related to one of RFG’s co-packing partners.
In the Calavo Foods segment, sales totaled $21.3 million in the most
recent quarter, down slightly from $21.9 million in the year-earlier
quarter. Gross profit equaled $6.3 million, equal to 29.7 percent of
segment sales, compared to $7.6 million or 34.5 percent of segment sales
in the same quarter in fiscal 2018.
Total selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense in the most
recent quarter equaled $15.7 million, or 5.5 percent of total company
revenues, which compares with $12.9 million, or 4.9 percent of total
revenues, in the second period last year. Higher SG&A is primarily
related to a $1.8 million increase in the accrual for the company’s
performance-based management incentive plan. Additionally, SG&A expense
in the quarter includes approximately $0.4 million of transaction
expenses related to the sale and partial leaseback of the company’s
Temecula packinghouse which was finalized in April.
The current quarter’s results include a non-cash, unrealized gain of
approximately $1.4 million on the company’s ownership interest in
Limoneira Company. (Owing to a recent generally accepted accounting
principle—or “GAAP”—rule change, unrealized “paper” gains and losses on
investments are now included in the company’s income statement.) The
company’s loss from unconsolidated subsidiaries increased from $0.3
million last year to $3.1 million in the most-recent period. This
principally reflects a non-cash loss of $2.7 million in the most-recent
period attributable to Calavo’s ownership interest in FreshRealm, LLC.
The loss from unconsolidated subsidiaries in the second quarter narrowed
significantly on a sequential basis from the first quarter, reflecting
reduced losses in the most-recent period at FreshRealm.
Outlook
Looking ahead to the second half of fiscal 2019, CEO Cole stated: “We
turn the corner into the third quarter in a very strong position. I am
confident about our prospects for the balance of this year and beyond,
and believe we remain squarely on track to post record revenues and a
double-digit increase in adjusted diluted earnings per share.
“The Fresh segment has been a stellar performer in the most recent
quarters, pacing Calavo’s overall results. I am enthusiastic about its
prospects; the building blocks for growth are in place, and the segment
continues to execute extremely well. With our breadth and depth of
sourcing, sales and production capabilities, coupled with our financial
resources and human capital, we are well positioned to capitalize on
industry expansion that shows no signs of abating. We believe that
avocado unit growth for the full fiscal year 2019 should match or exceed
the performance in the first half. Given this growth, and our
operational expertise navigating the market, we now anticipate a gross
profit increase of approximately 50 percent for the full year in our
Fresh segment.
Cole continued: “Turning to RFG, we remain encouraged by the solid gains
in sales, with the top line up approximately 10 percent in the first
half. This growth comes in spite of the industry-wide raw material
challenges, as well as the aforementioned issues experienced at one of
our co-pack partners. The lingering effects from our co-pack partner
will result in slower top-line growth, with RFG achieving a
high-single-digit sales increase for the full year. Still, we have begun
to see many promising indicators and trends in the business over the
recent months, including an improvement in both raw material
availability and quality, as well as manufacturing efficiencies within
our facilities. These positive trends give us confidence that
performance will improve in the second half of this year.
“Calavo Foods remains a highly complementary component of the company’s
strategic business plan. For the full year, we are now anticipating
sales growth in the mid-single digits with a gross profit percentage
that is slightly lower than what we have achieved year-to-date, largely
attributable to the recent sharp increase in avocado prices of the grade
and quality used by our Foods segment.
“FreshRealm, the unconsolidated subsidiary in which Calavo holds a
significant ownership stake, continues to make encouraging strides in
its operations. The business continues the transition process of its
primary customers, such as adding the new large multi-national,
multi-channel retailer announced last quarter. Notable, as well, is
FreshRealm’s progress implementing cost reductions, which are underway
and evident in its second quarter results.
“Our solid performance in the first half makes me optimistic about
Calavo’s prospects for 2019 and beyond. I anticipate that we will make
gains across our various businesses – anchored by continued strong
performance in the fresh avocado category – and I look forward to
reporting our continued progress as we move ahead,” Cole concluded.

(a)
|
|
For the three months ended April 30, 2019, FreshRealm incurred
losses totaling $7.5 million, of which we recorded $2.7 million of
non-cash losses during our second fiscal quarter of 2019. For the
six months ended April 30, 2019, FreshRealm incurred losses totaling
$18.9 million, of which we recorded $9.6 million of non-cash losses
during the first six months of fiscal 2019. Additional details
regarding FreshRealm will be included in Calavo’s quarterly report
on Form 10-Q soon to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission for the three months ended April 30, 2019.
|
|
(b)
|
|
During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, we sold our Temecula,
Calif., packinghouse for $7.1 million in cash ($6.7 million, net
of transaction costs (primarily sales commissions) totaling $0.4
million) and, concurrently, leased back a portion of the facility
representing approximately one-third of the total square footage.
This generated a gain of $6.4 million. Since our leaseback of the
building is classified as a capital lease and covers substantially
all of the leased property, the gain recognized currently is the
amount of the gain in excess of the recorded amount of the leased
asset. As a result, we recognized a gain of approximately $1.9
million in the second quarter and recorded a deferred gain of $4.5
million, which will be recognized over the life of the lease (i.e.
straight-line over 15 years).
|
|
(c)
|
|
First quarter of fiscal 2018 results include the company’s estimate
for the effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Calavo recorded a
one-time, non-cash charge due to the revaluation of our net deferred
tax assets and the transition tax on the deemed repatriation of
foreign earnings.
|
|
(d)
|
|
First quarter of fiscal 2018 results include higher stock-based
compensation expense related to senior management transitions, which
does not impact the underlying cost structure of the company.
|
|
(e)
|
|
In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we adopted a new ASU which
requires us to record changes in fair value of equity investments,
including our investment in Limoneira (LMNR) common stock, in net
income during the period. In the second quarter, we recorded $1.4
million in unrealized gains related to these mark-to-market
adjustments, which previously would have been recorded in other
comprehensive income. For the six months ended April 30, 2019, we
recorded $3.2 million in unrealized losses related to these
mark-to-market adjustments, which previously would have been
recorded in other comprehensive income. Additionally, we sold 51,271
shares of Limoneira stock during the first quarter of fiscal 2019
and recorded a gain of $0.1 million.
|
|
(f)
|
|
Tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments are based on the prevailing
year-to-date tax rates in each period and adjusted to the one-time
tax charges mentioned in note (c).
