Nomad Foods Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

PR Newswire

WOKING, England, May 8, 2025

Strong gross margin expansion helped fuel reinvestment

Retailer destocking & Easter timing offset retail sell-out growth

Recalibrating full year sales, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS expectations

WOKING, England, May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Nomad Foods Limited (NYSE: NOMD), today reported financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2025.

Key operating highlights and financial performance for the first quarter 2025, when compared to the first quarter 2024, include:

   -- Revenue decreased 3.0% to EUR760 million 
 
   -- Organic revenue declined 3.6% with a volume decline of 3.7% 
 
   -- Gross margin expanded 90 bps, helping to fund a double digit increase in 
      A&P 
 
   -- Adjusted EBITDA decreased 1.8% to EUR120 million 
 
   -- Adjusted EPS decreased 5.4% to EUR0.35 

Management Comments

Stéfan Descheemaeker, Nomad Foods' Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our team continued to execute well against our strategic priorities in the first quarter. Our organization delivered another quarter of strong gross margin improvement while continuing to scale our Growth Platforms, strengthen our innovation pipeline and reinvest in our leading brands. We saw slightly positive in-market consumption growth in the first quarter, but faced larger than expected retailer inventory destocking which, when combined with Easter timing, caused our net sales growth to meaningfully lag our retail sell-out. We expect top-line growth to accelerate throughout the remainder of the year, but do not expect to recover the larger than expected destocking related losses incurred in the first quarter. We have tempered our full year revenue expectations as a result. And although we see no direct impact from tariffs at this point in time, the macro environment has become increasingly uncertain and we foresee further increases in some input costs. These dynamics, in combination with the destocking impact in the first quarter, have caused us to lower our full year Adjusted EBITDA expectations while widening our Adjusted EPS guidance range."

Noam Gottesman, Nomad Foods' Co-Chairman and Founder, commented, "Nomad Foods has spent the last two years strengthening its overall organization, scaling its innovation pipeline and bolstering both the quantity and quality of its advertising investment while leveraging its strong cash flow to fortify its balance sheet and return cash to shareholders. Quarterly results can be choppy but the Frozen Food category in Europe is healthy, Nomad Food's leading brands are strong and its portfolio remains well positioned for evolving consumer trends. We remain confident in the company's growth potential and believe results for the remainder of 2025 will reflect this."

First Quarter of 2025 results compared to the First Quarter of 2024

   -- Revenue decreased 3.0% to EUR760 million. Organic revenue decreased by 
      3.6% and was driven by a volume decline of 3.7% and a sequential 
      improvement in price/mix of +0.1%. Organic sales lagged retail measured 
      sell-through due to retailer inventory destocking and the later timing of 
      Easter this year. 
 
   -- Gross profit increased 0.3% to EUR212 million. Gross margin increased 90 
      basis points to 27.8% due to supply chain productivity and the lapping of 
      inventory revaluation headwinds in the prior year. 
 
   -- Adjusted operating expenses increased 3.4% to EUR116 million due to a 
      double-digit increase and Advertising and Promotion expense. Overhead 
      costs modestly contracted as productivity efforts began to generate 
      returns that more than offset underlying inflation. 
 
   -- Adjusted EBITDA decreased 1.8% to EUR120 million due to the 
      aforementioned factors and Adjusted Profit after tax decreased 12% to 
      EUR54 million. 
 
   -- Adjusted EPS decreased by EUR0.02 to EUR0.35 reflecting the decrease in 
      Adjusted Profit after tax and fewer shares outstanding. Diluted EPS 
      remained unchanged at EUR0.21. 

2025 Guidance

The confluence of greater than expected retailer inventory destocking, higher input cost inflation, macro uncertainty and the prioritization of continued reinvestment in its brands and products has caused Nomad Foods to lower its full year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA outlook while widening its Adjusted EPS guidance range at the low-end. For the full year 2025, Nomad Foods now expects organic revenue growth of 0%-2%, versus 1%-3% growth prior, Adjusted EBITDA growth of 0%-2%, versus 2%-4% growth prior and Adjusted EPS of EUR1.82-EUR1.89, implying growth of 2-6%, versus its prior Adjusted EPS range of EUR1.85-EUR1.89, as the benefit of a lower share count partially offsets the lower Adjusted EBITDA outlook. Based on USD/EUR exchange rate as of May 2, 2025, this translates into 2025 Adjusted EPS of $2.07-$2.15. The Company is also maintaining its full year adjusted free cash flow conversion guidance to 90% or greater.

Non-IFRS Financial Information

Nomad Foods is presenting Adjusted and Organic financial information, which is considered non-IFRS financial information, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and for comparative purposes, the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Adjusted financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 presented in this press release reflects the historical reported financial statements of Nomad Foods, adjusted primarily for, when they occur, share based payment expenses and related employer payroll taxes, non-operating M&A related costs, acquisition purchase price adjustments, exceptional items and foreign currency translation charges/gains.

Adjusted EBITDA is profit or loss for the period before taxation, net financing costs, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude, when they occur, the impacts of exited markets, acquisition purchase price adjustments and exceptional items such as restructuring charges, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges and other unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, we exclude other adjustments such as the impact of share based payment expenses and related employer payroll taxes, and non-operating M&A related costs, because we do not believe they are indicative of our normal operating costs, can vary significantly in amount and frequency, and are unrelated to our underlying operating performance. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA provides important comparability of underlying operating results, allowing investors and management to assess operating performance on a consistent basis.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to profit/(loss) for the period, determined in accordance with IFRS, as an indicator of the Company's operating performance.

Adjusted Profit for the period is defined as profit for the period excluding, when they occur, the impacts of exited markets, acquisition purchase price adjustments and exceptional items such as restructuring charges, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, net financing income/(cost) on amendment of terms of debt, interest cost on tax relating to legacy tax audits, foreign exchange translation gains/(losses), foreign exchange gains/(losses) on derivatives, as well as certain other items considered unusual or non-recurring in nature. In addition, we exclude other adjustments such as the impact of share based payment expenses and related employer payroll taxes, and non-operating M&A related costs, because we do not believe they are indicative of our normal operating costs, can vary significantly in amount and frequency, and are unrelated to our underlying operating performance. The Company believes Adjusted Profit after tax provides important comparability of underlying operating results, allowing investors and management to assess operating performance on a consistent basis.

Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted earnings per share excluding, when they occur, the impacts of exited markets, acquisition purchase price adjustments and exceptional items such as restructuring charges, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, net financing income/(cost) on amendment of terms of debt, interest cost on tax relating to legacy tax audits, foreign exchange translation gains/(losses), foreign exchange gains/(losses) on derivatives, as well as certain other items considered unusual or non-recurring in nature. In addition, we exclude other adjustments such as the impact of share based payment expenses and related employer payroll taxes, and non-operating M&A related costs, because we do not believe they are indicative of our normal operating costs, can vary significantly in amount and frequency, and are unrelated to our underlying operating performance. The Company believes Adjusted EPS provides important comparability of underlying operating results, allowing investors and management to assess operating performance on a consistent basis.

Organic revenue growth/(decline) is an adjusted measurement of our operating results. The comparison for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 presented in this press release takes into consideration only those activities that were in effect during both time periods. Organic revenue growth/(decline) reflects reported revenue adjusted for currency translation and non-comparable trading items such as expansion, acquisitions, disposals, closures, trading day impacts or any other event that artificially impacts the comparability of our results period over period.

Adjustments for currency translation are calculated by translating data of the current and comparative periods using a budget foreign exchange rate that is set once a year as part of the Company's internal annual forecast process.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow -- Adjusted free cash flow is the amount of cash generated from operating activities less cash flows related to exceptional items (as described above), non-operating M&A related costs and working capital movements on employer taxes associated with share based payment awards, plus capital expenditure (on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets), net interest paid, proceeds/(payments) on settlement of derivatives where hedge accounting is not applied and payments of lease liabilities. Adjusted free cash flow reflects cash flows that could be used for payment of dividends, repayment of debt or to fund acquisitions or other strategic objectives.

Cash flow conversion is Adjusted Free Cash Flow as a percentage of Adjusted Profit for the period.

Adjusted and Organic non-IFRS financial information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements of Nomad Foods included in this press release as well as the historical financial statements of the Company previously filed with the SEC.

Nomad Foods believe its non-IFRS financial measures provide an important additional measure with which to monitor and evaluate the Company's ongoing financial results, as well as to reflect its acquisitions. Nomad Foods' calculation of these financial measures may be different from the calculations used by other companies and comparability may therefore be limited. The Adjusted and Organic financial information presented herein is based upon certain assumptions that Nomad Foods believes to be reasonable and is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of any anticipated financial position or future results of operations that the Company will experience. You should not consider the Company's non-IFRS financial measures an alternative or substitute for the Company's reported results and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these results and information as they may not be representative of our actual or future results as a Company.

Please see on pages 7 to 10, the non-IFRS reconciliation tables attached hereto and the schedules accompanying this release for an explanation and reconciliation of the Adjusted and Organic financial information to the most directly comparable IFRS measure. The Company is unable to reconcile, without unreasonable efforts, Organic Growth, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS guidance to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.
