Simply Good Foods Co (SMPL) 10-K Annual Report October 2018

Denver, CO, October 24, 2018 - The Simply Good Foods Company (NASDAQ: SMPL, SMPLW) (“Simply Good Foods,” or the “Company”), a developer, marketer and seller of branded nutritional foods and snacking products, today reported financial results for the thirteen week and fifty-two week periods ended August 25, 2018.

"I'm pleased with the finish to our 2018 fiscal year that culminated with solid net sales growth and strong retail takeaway that enabled us to deliver on our operating profit objectives while making key investments in our business,” said Joseph E. Scalzo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Simply Good Foods. “Net sales increased 8.9% for the year driven by strong volume growth in the U.S. Importantly, retail takeaway for the fifty-two weeks ended August 25, 2018, was up 10.1%. The strong volume growth in our business was due to the positive impact of our key marketing initiatives that included: targeting lifestyle consumers with a new advertising campaign and celebrity spokesperson; new packaging graphics; a cleaner label; and increased marketing investment. Consumer response to these initiatives was very encouraging as evidenced by our accelerated retail takeaway and total buyer growth in the second half of the year.”

“Looking ahead to fiscal 2019, we feel confident about our plans to deliver another year of solid sales growth slightly above our long-term target,” Scalzo continued “We’ve had a good start to the year as retail takeaway and velocity on our core products continues to be strong. We’re committed to increasing brand investment in-line with sales growth as we focus on our broader lifestyle consumer group. This proven strategy positions us to deliver profitable and sustainable growth that should result in long-term shareholder value.”

Results for the Fifty-Two Weeks Ended August 25, 2018 and the Successor Period July 7, 2017 to August 26, 2017⁽¹⁾


•	Net sales were $431.4 million for fifty-two weeks ended August 25, 2018 and $56.3 million for the Successor Period July 7, 2017 to August 26, 2017


•	Income tax benefit was $17.4 million for fifty-two weeks ended August 25, 2018 and income tax expense was $0.3 million for the Successor Period July 7, 2017 to August 26, 2017

In order to present comparable financial information, the Company has also presented unaudited pro forma combined financial information for the thirteen weeks and fifty-two weeks ended August 26, 2017, which give effect to the business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Conyers Park Acquisition Corp. (“Conyers Park”) and NCP-ATK Holdings, Inc. (“Atkins”) as if it had occurred on August 28, 2016. All references in this press release section to results for the thirteen week and fifty-two weeks ended August 26, 2017, refer to such unaudited pro forma combined results. The Company believes this pro forma information provides helpful supplemental information with respect to the performance of Simply Good Foods, and particularly the Atkins business, during this period.

In addition, in the third-quarter 10-Q the Company disclosed that it had historically recorded revenue on a “FOB Shipping Point” basis despite the fact that a significant portion of customer contracts indicated "FOB Destination" terms. As such, in the fourth quarter revenue was recorded on an "FOB Destination" basis, which resulted in a reduction to net sales of $7.8 million.
