SunOpta Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2021 Financial Results
SunOpta Inc. (“SunOpta” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:STKL) (TSX:SOY), a leading healthy food and beverage company focused on plant-based foods and beverages and fruit-based foods and beverages, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended April 3, 2021.
All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars and results are reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, except where specifically noted.
First Quarter 2021 Highlights:
- Revenues of $207.6 million for the first quarter of 2021 were flat with the prior year as strong 12.4% growth in plant-based was offset by planned SKU and customer rationalization in fruit-based.
- Plant-Based revenues have grown 47.0% from Q1 2019, while Fruit-Based revenues have declined 1.1%, resulting in a 21.8% increase in consolidated revenues from Q1 2019
- Gross margin increased 130 basis points to 14.4% from 13.1% in the prior year.
- Earnings from continuing operations of $1.7 million compared to a loss from continuing operations of $4.0 million in the prior year
- Adjusted earnings¹ attributable to common shareholders was $1.3 million or $0.01 per diluted common share in the first quarter of 2021, compared to an adjusted loss of $5.4 million or $0.06 per diluted common share in the first quarter of 2020.
- Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $18.3 million, or 8.8% of revenues for the first quarter of 2021, versus $13.7 million or 6.6% of revenues in the first quarter of 2020.
“We continued to execute well against our strategic plan in the first quarter, driving strong growth in plant-based revenue and productivity improvements in our fruit-based business leading to a significant increase in Adjusted EBITDA. We set a new quarterly record in plant-based with revenue of $119.5 million, reflecting growth of over 12% on top of a 30% increase a year earlier, illustrating the underlying strength of SunOpta’s competitive position,” said Joe Ennen, Chief Executive Officer. “Gross margin in fruit-based improved 170 basis points, benefitting from a lower cost structure and rationalization of marginally profitable SKUs and customers and Adjusted EBITDA of $18.3 million was up 34% versus last year. Following the first quarter, we completed the acquisition of two plant-based beverage brands, Dream and WestSoy, that are highly synergistic to current operations. In addition, we continue to be pleased with our new business development efforts. Tailwinds in plant-based, our focus on operational excellence, and our strong financial position enable us to capitalize on a robust pipeline of potential opportunities as we seek to fuel the future of food.”
First Quarter 2021 Results
Revenues of $207.6 million for the first quarter of 2021 were flat with the first quarter of 2020 as the 12.4% growth in Plant-Based Foods and Beverages was offset by planned decreased revenue from Fruit-Based Foods and Beverages.
The Plant-Based Foods and Beverages segment generated revenues of $119.5 million during the first quarter of 2021, an increase of 12.4% compared to $106.2 million in the first quarter of 2020. Compared with the first quarter of 2019, the Plant-Based segment has grown 47.0%. Higher demand for our oat-based product offerings, coupled with increased retail sales volumes of other plant-based beverages were key growth drivers in the first quarter. Partially offsetting these growth areas was lower demand in the foodservice channel, which has not fully recovered to pre-COVID-19 levels.
The Fruit-Based Foods and Beverages segment generated revenues of $88.2 million during the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of 13.0% compared to $101.4 million in the first quarter of 2020. Planned SKU and customer rationalization efforts contributed to the decline in fruit-based product revenues along with supply constraints for certain fruit varieties, which limited blended frozen fruit offerings. These declines were partially offset by growth in fruit snacks stemming from new business development efforts.
Gross profit was $30.0 million for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $2.8 million compared to $27.2 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit margin was 14.4% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 13.1% in the first quarter of 2020, an increase of 130 basis points. The Plant-Based Foods and Beverages segment accounted for $2.1 million of the increase in gross profit, primarily due to higher sales volumes of plant-based beverages and plant-based ingredients. The Fruit-Based Foods and Beverages segment increased gross profit by $0.7 million in the quarter, reflecting strong fruit snack volumes, increased pricing, rationalization of marginally profitable business and cost savings from productivity initiatives in frozen fruit operations.
Segment operating income¹ was $6.1 million, or 2.9% of revenues in the first quarter of 2021, compared to segment operating income of $2.8 million, or 1.3% of revenues in the first quarter of 2020. The increase in operating income year-over-year was primarily attributable to the $2.8 million increase in gross profit plus a $1.4 million decrease in foreign exchange losses within our frozen fruit operations, partially offset by higher variable compensation and increased headcount to support plant-based growth initiatives.
Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $18.3 million or 8.8% of revenues in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $13.7 million or 6.6% of revenues in the first quarter of 2020.
Loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2021 was $0.3 million, or $0.00 per diluted common share, compared to a loss of $6.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted common share during the first quarter of 2020.
Adjusted earnings¹ in the first quarter of 2021 was $1.3 million or $0.01 per common share, compared to an adjusted loss of $5.4 million or $0.06 per common share in the first quarter of 2020.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
At April 3, 2021, SunOpta had total assets of $643.6 million and total debt of $137.5 million compared to total assets of $894.4 million and total debt of $469.3 million a year earlier, primarily reflecting the divestiture of Tradin Organic (Global Ingredients segment) and improved operating performance. During the first quarter of 2021, cash used in operating activities of continuing operations was $7.0 million compared to cash provided of $23.7 million during the first quarter of 2020, reflecting increased inventories due to a stronger start to our seasonal fruit procurement season. Investing activities from continuing operations consumed $7.9 million of cash in the first quarter of 2021 versus $9.0 million in the prior year, primarily driven by purchases of capital equipment. In addition, in the first quarter of 2021, we paid $13.4 million to settle accrued transaction costs related to the divestiture of Tradin Organic.
Acquisition of Dream and WestSoy
On April 15, 2021, SunOpta acquired the Dream and WestSoy brands for $33 million. The two brands generate approximately $40 million of revenue annually, of which $15-$20 million is incremental to SunOpta given the existing production of all of the WestSoy products, and approximately one-half of the Dream products. Once the remaining Dream volume is fully insourced, the brands are expected to contribute an additional $6-$8 million of adjusted EBITDA in fiscal year 2022.
Conference Call
SunOpta plans to host a conference call at 9:00 A.M. Eastern time on Wednesday, May 12, 2021, to discuss the first quarter financial results. After opening remarks, there will be a question and answer period.

Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides additional information about its operating results regarding segment operating income, adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), which are not measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company believes that segment operating income, adjusted earnings and adjusted EBITDA assist investors in comparing performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that are not indicative of its operating performance. The non-GAAP measures of segment operating income, adjusted earnings and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
In order to evaluate its results of operations, the Company uses certain other non-GAAP measures that it believes enhance an investor’s ability to derive meaningful period-over-period comparisons and trends from the results of operations. In particular, the Company evaluates its revenues on a basis that excludes the effects of fluctuations in commodity pricing. In addition, the Company excludes specific items from its reported results that due to their nature or size, it does not expect to occur as part of its normal business on a regular basis. These items are identified in the tables below. These non-GAAP measures are presented solely to allow investors to more fully assess the Company’s results of operations and should not be considered in isolation of, or as substitutes for an analysis of the Company’s results as reported under U.S. GAAP.
Adjusted Earnings/Loss
When assessing its financial performance, the Company uses an internal measure that excludes charges and gains that it believes are not reflective of normal operations. This information is provided to allow investors to make meaningful comparisons of the Company’s operating performance between periods and to view the Company’s business from the same perspective as the Company’s management. Adjusted earnings/loss and adjusted earnings/loss per diluted share should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The following is a tabular presentation of adjusted earnings/loss and adjusted earnings/loss per diluted share, including a reconciliation from earnings/loss from continuing operations, which the Company believes to be the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.
