Utz Brands Inc., a leading U.S. manufacturer of branded salty snacks, reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2025. The company achieved a 2.9% increase in net sales, reaching $366.7 million, compared to $356.2 million in the same period of the previous year. The total organic net sales also saw a 2.9% rise, with the branded salty snacks segment experiencing a notable 5.4% growth. However, the company reported a significant decrease in net income, which fell 60.2% to $10.1 million. Adjusted net income also decreased by 14.2% to $23.6 million. The adjusted EBITDA saw a slight decline of 2.0%, totaling $48.7 million. In terms of earnings per share, the diluted earnings per share decreased by 47.8% to $0.12, while the adjusted earnings per share saw a reduction of 10.5% to $0.17. Looking ahead, Utz Brands has revised its guidance for the full year. The company now expects organic net sales growth of 2.5% or better, driven by its advantaged portfolio of brands and expansion into new geographies. Adjusted EBITDA growth is anticipated to be between 7% and 10%, reflecting confidence in ongoing productivity programs. However, the adjusted earnings per share guidance has been lowered to 7% to 10% growth due to higher interest and depreciation & amortization linked to accelerated capital expenditures. These strategic investments are expected to enhance the company's manufacturing network and automation capabilities, positioning Utz for sustained growth in the coming years.
