North America
The fiscal fourth quarter organic net sales decrease was 5% year-over-year, due primarily to lower sales in personal care, in part due to portfolio simplification, as well as reduced sales in infant formula within baby and kids, partially offset by growth in snacks.

_{² For fiscal 2024, organic net sales growth is not adjusted for the impact of foreign exchange.}

Snacks
Fiscal fourth quarter organic net sales growth was flat year-over-year, driven primarily by growth in Terra^® and Garden Veggie Snacks™, offset by softness in Hartley’s^® Jelly. For fiscal 2024, organic net sales growth was down 2% from the prior year. The decline in organic net sales was driven predominately by Terra^® and ParmCrisps^®, partially offset by growth in Garden Veggie Snacks™.

Baby & Kids
The fiscal fourth quarter organic net sales decline of 10% year-over-year was primarily driven by infant formula supply, partially offset by growth in Earth’s Best^® snacks and Ella’s Kitchen^®. For fiscal 2024, the organic net sales decline of 11% from the prior year was driven primarily by infant formula supply.           

Beverages
Fiscal fourth quarter organic net sales growth was 3% year-over-year. The increase was driven by non-dairy beverage in Europe. For fiscal 2024, organic net sales growth was 6% versus the prior year. The increase was driven by non-dairy beverage as well as Celestial Seasonings^® tea.   

Meal Prep
The fiscal fourth quarter organic net sales decline of 5% year-over-year was driven primarily by softness in meat-free in both Linda McCartney’s^® Foods in the UK and Yves^® in North America, as well as by short-term softness in private label spreads & drizzles in the UK. This was partially offset by continued strong growth in the soup brands in the UK. For fiscal 2024 organic net sales growth was 2% versus the prior year. The increase was driven by strength in soup and private label spreads and drizzles in the UK, partially offset by softness in Linda McCartney’s^® Foods and Yves^® plant-based meat free.        

Personal Care
The fiscal fourth quarter organic net sales decline was 17% year-over-year. The decline was driven by softness across the portfolio and by the impact of portfolio simplification as we continue to focus on the execution of our stabilization plan. For fiscal 2024, the organic net sales decline was 20% versus the prior year, due to softness across most of the portfolio as we continue to focus on the execution of our stabilization plan.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures, including, among others, organic net sales, adjusted operating income and its related margin, adjusted gross profit and its related margin, adjusted net income and its related margin, adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and its related margin, free cash flow and net debt. The reconciliations of historic non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the tables below. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded. They should be read only in connection with the company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP.

We define our non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

• Organic net sales (for fiscal 2024): net sales excluding the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, discontinued brands and exited product categories. To adjust organic net sales for the impact of acquisitions, the net sales of an acquired business are excluded from fiscal quarters constituting or falling within the current period and prior period where the applicable fiscal quarter in the prior period did not include the acquired business for the entire quarter. To adjust organic net sales for the impact of divestitures, discontinued brands and exited product categories, the net sales of a divested business, discontinued brand or exited product category are excluded from all periods.
  
  Organic net sales (for fiscal 2025): net sales excluding the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, discontinued brands and exited product categories and foreign exchange. To adjust organic net sales for the impact of acquisitions, the net sales of an acquired business are excluded from fiscal quarters constituting or falling within the current period and prior period where the applicable fiscal quarter in the prior period did not include the acquired business for the entire quarter. To adjust organic net sales for the impact of divestitures, discontinued brands and exited product categories, the net sales of a divested business, discontinued brand or exited product category are excluded from all periods. To adjust organic net sales for the impact of foreign exchange, current period net sales for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average monthly exchange rates in effect during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, rather than at the actual average monthly exchange rate in effect during the current period of the current fiscal year.
  

• Adjusted gross profit and its related margin: gross profit, before plant closure related costs, net, warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, net, and other costs.
  
  
• Adjusted operating income and its related margin: operating loss before certain litigation expenses, net, plant closure related costs, net, productivity and transformation costs, CEO succession costs, warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, net, costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, and intangibles and long-lived asset impairments.
  
  
• Adjusted net income and its related margin and diluted net income per common share, as adjusted: net loss, adjusted to exclude the impact of certain litigation expenses, net, plant closure related costs, net, productivity and transformation costs, CEO succession costs, warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, net, costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, (gains) losses on sales of assets, intangibles and long-lived asset impairments, unrealized currency (gains) losses and the related tax effects of such adjustments, and other costs.
  
  
• Adjusted EBITDA: net loss before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity in net loss of equity-method investees, stock-based compensation, net, unrealized currency losses, certain litigation and related costs, plant closure related costs, net, productivity and transformation costs, CEO succession costs, warehouse and manufacturing consolidation and other costs, costs associated with acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions, (gains) losses on sales of assets, transaction and integration costs, net, goodwill impairment, intangibles and long-lived asset impairments and other adjustments.
  
  
• Free cash flow: net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment.
  
  
• Net debt: total debt less cash and cash equivalents.
  

We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures presented provide useful additional information to investors about current trends in the company’s operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of operations. We provide:

• Organic net sales to demonstrate the growth rate of net sales excluding the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and discontinued brands (and, starting in fiscal 2025, foreign exchange), and believe organic net sales is useful to investors because it enables them to better understand the growth of our business from period to period.
  
  
• Adjusted results as important supplemental measures of our performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of our Company and companies in our industry.
  
  
• Free cash flow as one factor in evaluating the amount of cash available for discretionary investments.
  
  
• Net debt as a useful measure to monitor leverage and evaluate the balance sheet.
