Q3 2023 Financial Summary
•Net sales increased 1.0 percent versus the year-ago period to $6.6 billion, including a negative 0.5 percentage point impact from foreign currency and a negative 0.2 percentage point impact from divestitures. Organic Net Sales(1) increased 1.7 percent versus the prior year period. Price increased 7.1 percentage points versus the prior year period, with increases in both reportable segments that were primarily driven by list price increases taken to mitigate higher input costs. Volume/mix declined 5.4 percentage points versus the prior year period, with declines in both reportable segments that were primarily driven by elasticity impacts from pricing actions.
2
•Net income/(loss) decreased 41.7 percent versus the year-ago period to $254 million, primarily driven by higher non-cash impairment losses in the current year period and higher tax expenses in the current year period. These factors were partially offset by higher Adjusted EBITDA versus the prior year period and unrealized gains on commodity hedges in the current year period compared to unrealized losses on commodity hedges in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 11.9 percent versus the year-ago period to $1.6 billion, primarily driven by higher pricing and efficiency gains. These factors more than offset higher supply chain costs (reflecting inflationary pressure in manufacturing and procurement costs), unfavorable volume/mix, investments in marketing, technology, and research and development, increased commodity costs (including the impact of realized gains and losses on commodity hedges), and an unfavorable impact from foreign currency (1.0 pp).
•Diluted EPS was $0.21, down 40.0 percent versus the prior year period, primarily driven by the net income/(loss) factors discussed above. Adjusted EPS(1) was $0.72, up 14.3 percent versus the prior year period, primarily driven by higher Adjusted EBITDA and favorable changes in other expense/(income). These factors more than offset higher taxes on adjusted earnings.
•Year-to-date net cash provided by operating activities was $2.6 billion, up 72.8 percent versus the year-ago period. This was driven by lower cash outflows for inventories primarily related to stock rebuilding in the prior year, higher Adjusted EBITDA in the current period, and lower cash outflows for tax payments driven by taxes paid in 2022 related to the sale of certain assets in our global cheese business and the licensing of certain trademarks. These impacts were partially offset by unfavorable changes in accounts payable, due in part to lower inventory purchase volume in the current period compared to the prior year period, and cash payments associated with the settlement of the consolidated securities class action lawsuit. Year-to date Free Cash Flow(1) was $1.8 billion, up 108.2 percent versus the prior year period, driven by the same net cash provided by operating activities as discussed above. This more than offset an increase in capital expenditures in the current year.
Leadership and Organizational Changes
As part of its mission to accelerate profitable growth and to lead the future of food, the Company has named its new President of the North America Zone, elevated key roles to a global level, and restructured its International Zone. These changes preserve the Company’s local agility while leveraging support, expertise, and resources from its scale.
First, Pedro Navio has been named EVP & President, North America, and will succeed Carlos Abrams-Rivera who, as previously announced, will serve as the Kraft Heinz CEO. Navio has been with Kraft Heinz since 2017, and is currently President, Taste, Meals, and Away From Home, in North America. Prior to Kraft Heinz, Navio spent more than 15 years at Red Bull, most recently as CEO of Latin America.
Second, the Company is establishing global leadership teams for its Growth and Omnichannel functions. Investing in these disciplines on a global level provides the structure and support to leverage centralized expertise and resources. It also helps drive growth and disruptive innovation across the business while optimally servicing customers and consumers.
3
Lastly, to further drive international growth, the Company is dividing its international business into three zones. Recognizing these markets require different sets of strategies and skills, the new structure provides the necessary focus and resources to optimize growth potential.
•Europe and Pacific Developed Markets, which will include Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea.
•West and East Emerging Markets, which will include LATAM, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East.
•Asia Emerging Markets, which will include its Asia businesses outside of Japan and South Korea.
In conjunction with these changes to the International Zone, Rafael Oliveira, current President, International Markets, will take on an advisory role to support the new structure transition and will depart the Company in March of 2024. “Rafael has been with Kraft Heinz since 2014 in several top leadership roles and has been a critical part of our transformation,” said Patricio. “We are forever grateful for the immeasurable business and culture impact that he has made on the Company and its people.”
“We are proud that all these appointments are internal elevations and reflect the quality of the talent and focus on people development here at Kraft Heinz,” said Abrams-Rivera. “We see the value of investing in the right structure to support our growth plans, and I am confident that these are the leaders to take Kraft Heinz to the next level.”
All changes will be effective at the beginning of fiscal year 2024.
Outlook
For fiscal year 2023, the Company expects:
•Organic Net Sales(2) growth of 4 to 6 percent versus the prior year, closer to the lower end of the range at approximately 4%.
•Constant Currency Adjusted EBITDA(1)(2) growth of 5 to 7 percent versus the prior year, or 7 to 9 percent when excluding the impact from lapping a 53rd week in 2022. This compares to the previous expectation of 4 to 6 percent Constant Currency Adjusted EBITDA growth. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin(1)(2) expansion is expected to contribute to Constant Currency Adjusted EBITDA growth. The Company now expects Adjusted Gross Profit Margin expansion of 200 to 250 basis points versus the prior year, compared to the previous expectation of 150 to 200 basis points versus the prior year. The current expectation for Adjusted Gross Profit Margin now reflects mid-single-digit inflation for the full year, as compared to the previous expectation of mid-to-high single-digit inflation for the full year, with pricing and efficiencies continuing to contribute to Adjusted Gross Profit Margin recovery.
4
•Adjusted EPS(2) to be in the range of $2.91 to $2.99, compared to the previous range of $2.83 to $2.91. The current range includes a negative impact of approximately $0.03 from expected unfavorable changes in non-cash pension and post-retirement benefits and a currency headwind of approximately $0.04 at current foreign exchange rates. The expected 2023 year-over-year Adjusted EPS change reflects a negative $0.06 impact from lapping a 53rd week in 2022. Additionally, the Company now expects an effective tax rate on Adjusted EPS to be in the range of 19 to 20 percent.
End Notes
(1)Organic Net Sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Constant Currency Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow, and Net Leverage are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see discussion of non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations at the end of this press release for more information.
(2)Guidance for Organic Net Sales, Constant Currency Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, and Adjusted EPS is provided on a non-GAAP basis only because certain information necessary to calculate the most comparable GAAP measure is unavailable due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence and the future financial statement impact of such items impacting comparability, including, but not limited to, the impact of currency, acquisitions and divestitures, divestiture-related license income, restructuring activities, deal costs, unrealized losses/(gains) on commodity hedges, impairment losses, certain non-ordinary course legal and regulatory matters, and equity award compensation expense, among other items. Therefore, as a result of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of future adjustments, which could be significant, the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measures provided in this press release should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
To supplement the financial information provided, the Company has presented Organic Net Sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Constant Currency Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Net Income/(Loss), Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow, and Net Leverage which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures presented may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, and other companies may not define these non-GAAP financial measures in the same way. These measures are not substitutes for their comparable GAAP financial measures, such as net sales, net income/(loss), gross profit, diluted earnings per share (“EPS”), net cash provided by/(used for) operating activities, or other measures prescribed by GAAP, and there are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assist in comparing the Company’s performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision making by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect the Company’s underlying operations. The Company believes:
•Organic Net Sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Constant Currency Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Net Income/(Loss), and Adjusted EPS provide important comparability of underlying operating results, allowing investors and management to assess the Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis; and
•Free Cash Flow and Net Leverage provide measures of the Company’s core operating performance, the cash-generating capabilities of the Company’s business operations, and are factors used in determining the Company’s borrowing capacity and the amount of cash available for debt repayments, dividends, acquisitions, share repurchases, and other corporate purposes.
Management believes that presenting the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because it (i) provides investors with meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain items, (ii) permits investors to view performance using the same tools that management uses to budget, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate historical performance, and (iii) otherwise provides supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s results. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to those measures, provides investors with additional understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company’s business than could be obtained absent these disclosures.
Definitions
Organic Net Sales is defined as net sales excluding, when they occur, the impact of currency, acquisitions and divestitures, and a 53rd week of shipments. The Company calculates the impact of currency on net sales by holding exchange rates constant at the previous year's exchange rate, with the exception of highly inflationary subsidiaries, for which the Company calculates the previous year's results using the current year's exchange rate.
8
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income/(loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, other expense/(income), provision for/(benefit from) income taxes, and depreciation and amortization (excluding restructuring activities); in addition to these adjustments, the Company excludes, when they occur, the impacts of divestiture-related license income, restructuring activities, deal costs, unrealized losses/(gains) on commodity hedges, impairment losses, certain non-ordinary course legal and regulatory matters, and equity award compensation expense (excluding restructuring activities). The Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis (Constant Currency Adjusted EBITDA). The Company calculates the impact of currency on Adjusted EBITDA by holding exchange rates constant at the previous year's exchange rate, with the exception of highly inflationary subsidiaries, for which it calculates the previous year's results using the current year's exchange rate.
Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Net Income/(Loss), and Adjusted EPS are defined as gross profit, net income/(loss), and diluted earnings per share, respectively, excluding, when they occur, the impacts of restructuring activities, deal costs, unrealized losses/(gains) on commodity hedges, impairment losses, certain non-ordinary course legal and regulatory matters, losses/(gains) on the sale of a business, other losses/(gains) related to acquisitions and divestitures (e.g., tax and hedging impacts), nonmonetary currency devaluation (e.g., remeasurement gains and losses), debt prepayment and extinguishment (benefit)/costs, and certain significant discrete income tax items (e.g., U.S. and non-U.S. tax reform), and including when they occur, adjustments to reflect preferred stock dividend payments on an accrual basis. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin is defined as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by net sales.
Net Leverage is defined as debt less cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments divided by Adjusted EBITDA.
Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by/(used for) operating activities less capital expenditures. The use of this non-GAAP measure does not imply or represent the residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures since the Company has certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure.
