Boulder Canyon® Jumps from Snack to Frozen Food Aisle to Introduce Microwave-Ready, Grain-Free Riced Vegetable Line

Source: PR Newswire (US)
PHOENIX, Sept. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Boulder Canyon Authentic Foods®, a leading better-for-you snack brand, makes life easy for consumers ricing vegetables at home with the introduction of a new line of grain-free rice made from just one primary ingredient—100 percent real vegetables. These ready-to-eat, 100 percent vegetables are designed as a delicious, low-carbohydrate alternative to traditional grain rice. Boulder Canyon Riced Vegetables are pre-washed, pre-cut and ready to heat with the ability to go from package to plate in just three minutes! The delicious rice alternative appears at select grocery and natural food stores nationwide this month with a suggested retail price of $2.99 to $3.99 per bag.

BOULDER CANYON(R) JUMPS FROM SNACK TO FROZEN FOOD AISLE TO INTRODUCE MICROWAVE-READY, GRAIN-FREE RICED VEGETABLE LINE - Clean Food Innovators Advance the Vegetable Rice Category with Sweet Potato, Broccoli, Carrot, Cauliflower and Seasoned Varieties.
Boulder Canyon riced vegetables are grain-free and gluten-free, and each portion counts as a full serving of vegetables according to USDA guidelines. Perhaps the best feature is the fact that there is no need to use a food processor or any other kitchen gadget in preparation of these delicious rice dishes. Simply shake the bag to distribute the contents, place the bag in the microwave and heat on high for three to five minutes (depending on microwave wattage). After letting the bag cool for one minute, simply cut the bag and pour to serve.

"Vegetable ricing is a huge trend right now, whether it's consumers on gluten-restricted diets or simply those looking to reduce calorie and carb impact," said Steve Sklar, senior vice president and general manager for Boulder Canyon Authentic Foods. "We've introduced a convenient option for these consumers, and we've taken it a step further to provide seasoned and plain varieties so they have multiple options. It's a delicious and healthy rice or pasta substitute, and it can be easily added to any meal."

Boulder Canyon Riced Vegetables expand the world of traditional riced cauliflower and broccoli with sweet potato and carrot varieties as well as epicurean seasoned varieties including Cilantro Lime Cauliflower, Thai Curry Carrot, Caramelized Onion and Cheddar Cheese Broccoli. Additionally, plain varieties of Sweet Potato, Carrot, Cauliflower and Broccoli are available. The 10-ounce unseasoned bags contain three, 3.3-ounce servings, whereas the nine-ounce seasoned bags contain three, 3.0-ounce servings.

Boulder Canyon Riced Vegetables represent the first time the leading better-for-you brand appears in the frozen section of the grocery store. True to the Boulder brand, the riced vegetables feature only real food ingredients and no cholesterol, no trans fats and no MSG. Additionally, they are gluten-free, kosher and vegan.

Consumers looking for Boulder Canyon Riced Vegetables are encouraged to inquire with their favorite grocer, or to contact Boulder directly at www.BoulderCanyonFoods.com.

Boulder Canyon continues to push the boundaries of traditional foods with a belief that real food ingredients taste better than processed foods ever could.

Boulder Canyon® Foods is a member of the Inventure Foods (Nasdaq: SNAK) family of Intensely Different™ specialty brands. The Company's better-for-you and indulgent food brands include Boulder Canyon Authentic Foods®, Jamba®, Seattle's Best Coffee®, Rader Farms®, T.G.I.

This has no competition in the market. SNAK is slow and steady with well thought out products available and a good margin.

Me- took some profits, buying more if at 8-8.50 before EOY.

Good afternoon SNAK. Looking for an entry here.

I'm surprised that there is no activity here. Technically it looks ready to run.

SNAK Time to make the donuts.. been waiting for a while now. Hope the numbers look good.

Hanging on until at least they release Q3 earnings - that's when it jumped last yr and looking good again in '14. This stock stays a good buy thru summer IMO.

SNAK is proven and growing. I am initiating my first position on Monday.

Apparently the earnings call went well today : ) Up 5% on heavy volume.

Just read the transcript, and, yes, their forward guidance (without being too specific) for the back half of the year was pretty positive! Was happy to hear. What I found very interesting thought, was that late in the call, Terry seemed to be referencing another company that is in the sector (that had Boulder in its name), and seemed to be suggesting that its EBITA numbers were slightly suspect. Unless there were typos in the transcription service, he may have been referencing BDBD, which had an absolutely glorious day in the markets (up 15% with an even $2.00 gain) based on their excellent earnings news (which I hinted to above). However, BDBD has been fighting some persistent questioning of their books here in SA, and I am interested in finding out if SNAK thinks either that BDBD is overvalued, or if they want analysts to start using the same metrics in valuing SNAK. If so, SNAK could go quite a bit higher and I am all for that. I was scared when the market opened, and was questioning my position, but was very happy that the conference call was as positive as it was (apparently they are not listening to me about jettisoning TGIF, as they are recommitting to turning around that line. We shall see what we shall see ...

SNAK..$3.62.. Acquisition

SnackTime, one of the UK's largest national operators of snack and chilled drink
vending machines, is pleased to announce that it has agreed the acquisition of
the entire issued share capital of Vendia UK, for a maximum consideration of
GBP10.98 million. SnackTime expects the Acquisition to be earnings enhancing in
the year ending 31 March 2012.

Vendia UK's core operation is a traditional vending business specialising in the
sale of hot beverages, which complements SnackTime's confectionery and chilled
drinks operations. Vendia trades under brands such as Simply Drinks in London,
Integer in the Midlands, VMI in the north of England and Drinkmaster, a national
table top and in cup specialist company, based in Plymouth.

For the year ended 31 December 2009, Vendia UK reported audited revenues of
GBP19.7 million and adjusted EBITDA under IFRS of GBP2.1 million.

The consideration payable to the vendors of Vendia UK comprises:

&3; 5,447,855 new ordinary shares of 2p each in the Company ("New Ordinary
Shares"), which will represent 29.9 per cent. of SnackTime's enlarged share
capital following completion of the Acquisition. Pursuant to the terms of the
sale and purchase agreement, the New Ordinary Shares are the subject of lock-in
arrangements for 24 months from issue, and Vendia UK's major shareholder has
agreed to a lock in of a further 12 months;
&3; 1,816,557 million warrants exercisable into new ordinary shares of 2p

each in the Company ("Warrants"), exercisable at a price of 2p per share, further details of which are set out below; and &3; deferred consideration of GBP0.5 million in cash, payable in two tranches

of GBP250,000 on 31 December 2010 and 30 June 2011.

SnackTime will also assume term debt of approximately GBP2.4 million with
Co-Operative Bank plc as a result of the Acquisition.

The Acquisition is in line with SnackTime's strategic objective to increase its
critical mass and substantially improve its hot beverage offering. Following the
Acquisition, the enlarged Group will have over 30,000 customers being serviced
by more than 450 employees, agents and franchisees and will be the UK's fourth
largest vending company by revenue. The Board of SnackTime believes that the
Acquisition provides additional benefits and opportunities to the Group,
including:

&3; Cross-selling opportunities across all product ranges;
&3; Improved operational and cost efficiencies;
&3; Reduced combined overheads; and
&3; The development of a comprehensive in-house hot beverages offering.

The New Ordinary Shares will when issued rank pari passu with the Company's
existing ordinary shares of 2p each. Application has been made to London Stock
Exchange plc for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, which
is expected to become effective on 27 September 2010.

The Warrants cannot be exercised for a period of three years from the date of
issue, nor at any time thereafter if doing so would breach the AIM Rules for
Companies, be in contravention of the Companies Act 2006 or result in the
holder(s) having to make an offer for the Company pursuant to Rule 9 of the City
Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "City Code"). If any of these situations were
to arise, the Warrants would be exchanged for Convertible Unsecured Loan Notes
("CULs") which would not pay any interest and could not be converted for ten
years from their issue, nor at any time thereafter if doing so would result in
the holder(s) having to make an offer for the Company pursuant to Rule 9 of the
City Code, in which case the CULs would be exchanged for loan notes which would
not pay any interest.

Board Changes

As a result of the Acquisition, and taking into consideration the nature of the
enlarged Group, SnackTime believes that it is appropriate to introduce a new
executive management board which will report to the board of directors of
SnackTime (the "Board") and, as such, the following changes are being made to
the Board:

&3; Michiel Slinkert joins the Board as a non-executive Director. Michiel

has

been a non executive director of Vendia since 1997;
&3; Tim James joins the Board as Chief Financial Officer. Tim is finance
director of Snack in the Box Limited, which was acquired by SnackTime in
September 2009;
&3; Ian Forde, who is currently the executive Director responsible for

Brand Development, becomes a non-executive Director and will continue to assist the Company's brand relationships; &3; Julia Brand, who has been Finance Director since December 2007, is to step down from the Board and join the management board as Business Systems Director; and &3; Andy Fisher, Sales Director, will step down from the Board and join the

management board.

These changes will be effective immediately following completion of the
Acquisition.

Blair Jenkins, Chief Executive, of SnackTime, commented:
"Vendia's business is an ideal strategic fit with SnackTime and its exposure and
expertise in the hot drinks market perfectly complements our existing snacks and
chilled food operations. The combined Group will have an extensive footprint
throughout the UK and Ireland, providing excellent cross-selling opportunities
and even greater awareness for our brand partners. This is a significant
milestone in the Company's evolution and is a major step towards our goal of
becoming Europe's leading snack, chilled and hot beverage vending solution
provider.

"I would like to welcome Michiel and Tim to the Board of Directors and look
forward to being able to draw on their experience. I would also like to thank
Julia and Andy for their counsel to the Board and look forward to their
continued contribution to the Group."

Inventure Foods Reports Second Quarter 2010 Results

PR Newswire - Jul 27 at 08:00

Company Symbols: NASDAQ-SMALL:SNAK

Tenth straight quarter of year-over-year earnings growth; Net income up 32.6%


PHOENIX, July 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Inventure Foods, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNAK), a leading specialty food manufacturer, today reported record financial results for the second quarter ending June 26, 2010, highlighted by the Company&;s tenth consecutive quarter of year-over-year earnings growth, basic EPS increase of 33%, EBITDA gain of 21% and net revenue growth of 4.5%.

Q2 2010 Financial Results Overview

Inventure generated net revenues of $34.9 million for the second quarter of 2010, up $1.5 million, or 4.5%, compared to net revenues of $33.4 million for the same period in 2009.

Snack division net revenue was $23.1 million, up 6.3% from the prior year, driven primarily by a 56.6% net revenue increase for Boulder Canyon™ Natural Foods. Net revenue from T.G.I. Friday&;s® increased by 2.5% for the quarter, reversing last quarter&;s trend. Snack division net revenue gains were partially offset by a decline in BURGER KING™ of 9.7% from the prior year, reflecting continued economic weakness in the Convenience Store and Vending channels, and a 4.4% decline from the prior year in private label.

In the Rader Farms® division, net revenue was $11.9 million, an increase of 1.3% over the prior year. This was achieved despite a double-digit price decline that carried over from the fourth quarter of 2009 and significant investment in slotting fees for the second quarter related to the Jamba™ launch, which was an offset to gross revenue. Rader pounds sold were up 33% for the quarter.

Consolidated net income increased 32.6% for the quarter to $1.4 million, or $0.08 per basic share, versus $1.0 million, or $0.06 per basic share last year.

Consolidated EBITDA rose 20.8% to $3.4 million, or 9.6% of net revenue for the quarter. A table reconciling EBITDA to net income is presented at the end of the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this release.

Other key financial highlights included:

-- Gross profit of $7.8 million, or 22.4% of net revenue, up 23.4% in
dollars and up 3.4 percentage points versus the prior year.




-- SG&A of $5.4 million, or 15.5% of net revenue, an increase of 23.4% in
dollars and up 2.4 percentage points versus the prior year as a result
of increased marketing support for both the Jamba™ and Boulder brands.




-- Consolidated operating income of $2.4 million, a 23.3% increase versus
2009.




-- Total year-to-date debt paydown of $4.5 million, with total debt of
$15.4 million exiting the quarter.




First Half 2010 Revenue, EPS, and EBITDA

Through the first six months of 2010, Inventure reported net sales of $66.3 million compared to net sales of $63.1 million for the first six months of 2009, a 5.0% increase. Basic earnings per share for the first half of 2010 were $0.15 versus $0.11 during the same period in 2009, a gain of 36.4%. EBITDA for the first half of 2010 was $6.6 million, an increase of 26.8% versus last year.

Management Commentary and Future Outlook

&;We are excited that we continue to grow earnings – achieving our tenth consecutive quarter of year-over-year earnings growth,&; said Terry McDaniel, Chief Executive Officer of Inventure Foods. &;Our Healthy/Natural products continue to lead the way with net revenue growth of 10.4% for the quarter. The Jamba™ Smoothies launch is off to a very good start with gross sales of $1.2 million for the quarter. We have earned the support of most retailers in our test markets and are now rolling Jamba™ Smoothies out nationally with Wal-Mart, Safeway and Target supercenters. Boulder continues to do very well with an increase of 57% for the quarter, driven by both kettle products and our new and innovative Rice and Bean product, which was up more than 500% for the quarter. We are also pleased by the 2.5% growth in T.G.I. Friday&;s®, which reversed the previous quarter&;s decline.

&;We continue to invest in our business as evidenced by new capital investment in Bluffton, the hiring of a new senior sales and marketing executive, and increased SG&A expenditures to support brand growth. We also plan additional investments in our Goodyear plant to support growth, increasing Goodyear&;s capacity by 32% with the addition of new kettles and packaging machines. This project should be completed by the end of this year.&;

McDaniel concluded, &;Going forward, we will continue to invest in both the Jamba™ and Boulder brands while increasing our investment in T.G.I. Friday&;s® and BURGER KING™ to improve the trend line in our licensed snack portfolio. While private label snack sales were down for the quarter, due mainly to the timing of promotional activity, we have picked up a significant new private label customer. This product will be produced in our Bluffton plant, commence shipping in August and help our return to growth in private label during the second half of the year.&;

Conference Call

Inventure Foods&; executive management team will host a conference call today at 4 p.m. ET to discuss the Company&;s second quarter and first half 2010 results, and comment on its future outlook.

SNAK.. $3.55 To Add Extruded Production

PRESS RELEASE:PRESS RELEASE: The Inventure Group To Add Extruded Production To Existing Snack Manufacturing Capabilities

Dow Jones & Company, Inc. - May 06 at 18:24

Company Symbols: NASDAQ-SMALL:SNAK


Growing U.S. Demand for Extruded Snack Foods Drives Q3 Expansion

PHOENIX, May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --The Inventure Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNAK), a leading specialty snack food company, will expand its Bluffton, Ind. manufacturing facility to add extruded snack production capabilities later this year. The $4 million expansion is expected to be complete by the third quarter of 2010.

The addition of the latest state-of-the-art extrusion technology expands manufacturing capabilities at the Bluffton facility to include sheeted dough, pellet and extruded baked snacks. The new investment allows The Inventure Group to continue to develop the unique new products that have positioned the Company as a leading snack food innovator.

In addition, The Inventure Group will bring manufacturing inside that is currently outsourced, including its popular Burger King(TM) Onion Rings and T.G.I. Friday's(R) Mozzarella Sticks.

"This new extrusion technology allows us to take our expertise as snack food innovators to a new, growing category of snack foods," said Terry McDaniel, CEO of The Inventure Group. "It allows us to leverage our current Bluffton infrastructure to increase margins for all of the products we manufacture at that facility, and ultimately it increases in the number of new and innovative products we'll bring to market each year."

According to a recent Information Resources (IRI) report, sales of cheese and extruded snacks are up 10 percent over last year, pushing the extruded snack category to an all-time high of $732 million in sales.

In the past 12 months, The Inventure Group has added a number of new extruded products including Burger King(TM) French Toast Sticks and T.G.I. Friday's(TM) Buffalo Sticks.

"The extruded snack category began with the basic cheese puff years ago, so it's amazing to see the innovation that has happened in recent years" said Steve Sklar, vice president of marketing at The Inventure Group. "We've been on the cutting edge with our extruded concepts, and certainly the new manufacturing capabilities are going to allow us even greater creative flexibility when dreaming up the next French Toast Stick or Hot & Spicy Onion Ring snack."

Clextral Group, a leading international food processing company, will manufacture and install the proprietary extruded production line in Bluffton.

Boulder Canyon(TM) Introduces First Compostable Packaging to Natural Snack Food Category

PR Newswire - Apr 22 at 09:29

Company Symbols: NASDAQ-SMALL:SNAK

Leading Natural Food Manufacturer Introduces Snack Chip Bag Made From Wood Pulp


BOULDER, Colo., April 22 /PRNewswire/ -- In the same week the nation celebrates Earth Day, Boulder Canyon™ Natural Foods has unveiled plans for a compostable package for its popular All Natural Kettle Cooked Potato Chip line. The Company believes that the 7.5-ounce bag, made from wood pulp sourced from plantations that have Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) or similar certification, is the first compostable packaging developed for the natural snack food category. The new packaging is available immediately at Colorado-area Whole Foods stores with a suggested retail price of $3.49-$3.99 per package.

(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100422/DE91391)

The Boulder Canyon compostable packaging is made from materials that are certified to meet the &;Specification for Compostable Plastics&; standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials. The bags can be composted in home or industrial composters, recycled through approved organic recycling programs, or incinerated at modern incineration plants.

In contrast to the corn and starch-based compostable bag recently introduced by a leading traditional snack manufacturer, the Boulder Canyon bags are made from wood pulp to mitigate any potential negative impact on existing food supplies.

Consumers interested in the greening of their snacking won&;t be forced to pay a big premium for supporting Mother Earth either; the cost per-ounce is similar to that of Boulder Canyon chips in standard five-ounce bags.

&;At the core of the Boulder Canyon Natural Foods brand is a desire to eat naturally, free of additives and artificial ingredients, while also being good to the planet,&; said Steve Sklar, senior vice president of marketing for Boulder Canyon. &;Our new compostable packaging should make a positive impact on landfill waste, so we&;re excited to see this day come.&;

Boulder Canyon is a national sponsor of American Rivers, the leading river conservation organization in the United States. In addition, Boulder Canyon purchases enough Renewable Energy Credits to offset 100 percent of its operating emissions annually. This effort prevents nearly 3.5 million pounds of carbon dioxide from being emitted into the atmosphere each year.

Boulder Canyon retail sales have grown 31% and outpaced the natural potato chip category from 2007-2009 according to SPINS™ Natural Channel Data.

Since its inception in 1994, Boulder Canyon Natural Foods has challenged the potato chip paradigm with delicious, all-natural kettle cooked chips in several varieties, including Malt Vinegar & Sea Salt, Spinach & Artichoke, and The Company&;s new Rice & Adzuki Bean snack chip. Today, Boulder Canyon offers more than 20 unique snack products made with only the freshest all natural ingredients.

Boulder Canyon™ Natural Foods is a member of The Inventure Group (Nasdaq: SNAK) family of Intensely Different™ specialty brands. The Company&;s better-for-you and indulgent food brands include licensed brands T.G.I. Friday&;s®, BURGER KING® and Jamba™ as well as Inventure Group owned brands Boulder Canyon™ Natural Foods, Rader Farms®, Poore Brothers®, Tato Skins® and Bob&;s Texas Style®.

Added on 04/22 at 09:00 PRESS RELEASE: The Inventure Group Reports Strong First Quarter 2010 Results
Delivered 9th consecutive quarter of year over year earnings growth, grew EPS by 40% and EBITDA by 32%

PHOENIX, April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Inventure Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNAK), a leading specialty food manufacturer, today reported record financial results for the first quarter ending March 27, 2010, highlighted by a 9th consecutive quarter of year over year earnings growth, EPS increase of 40%, EBITDA gain of 32% and net revenue growth of 6%.

Q1 2010 Results Overview

Consolidated net revenue for the first quarter ending March 27, 2010 was $31.4 million, an increase of 5.6% versus last year's quarter.

Rader Farms delivered an exceptionally strong quarter with net revenue of $ 12.0 million, an increase of 12.5% versus last year despite a double digit price decrease implemented in the fourth quarter of 2009. Total Rader pounds were up 39%, partially attributable to new distribution and organic growth as a result of the price decrease.

Snack division net revenue was $19.3 million, up 1.8% from the prior year. Key growth drivers included a 36.0% net revenue increase for Boulder Canyon(TM) Natural Foods, and ongoing robust demand for premium private label products which delivered an 11.1% revenue increase. Snack division revenue gains were partially offset by declines in T.G.I. Friday's(R) of 7.5% and BURGER KING(TM) of 14.0%. These declines reflect softness in Convenience Store and Vending channels, both of which have been negatively impacted by the weak economy.

Consolidated net income rose 40.5% for the quarter to $1.2 million or $0.07 per share versus $0.9 million or $0.05 per share last year.

Consolidated EBITDA rose 31.9% to $3.2 million or 10.2% of net revenue for the quarter, attributable to the sales increase as well as the impact of lower cost berries in the Rader Division.

Other key financial highlights include:

-- Gross profit of $6.8 million, or 21.6% of net revenue, up 11.5% and 1.1
percentage points versus last year.

-- SG&A of $4.5 million and 14.4% of Net Revenue, virtually flat versus last
year in dollars but down 0.7 percentage points.

-- Operating income of $2.3 million, a 41.2% increase versus 2009.

Management Commentary & Future Outlook

"As anticipated, 2010 is off to an excellent start for the Company," said Terry McDaniel, Chief Executive Officer of The Inventure Group. "On the heels of a record year in 2009, we have now proudly delivered our 9th consecutive quarter of year over year earnings growth and continue to enhance EBITDA, gross profits and operating margins. Our diversification into the healthy/natural segment continues to pay dividends as we achieved impressive results in both our Boulder Canyon and Rader Farms divisions. Growth in Boulder Canyon is directly attributable to continued investments in our people, products and promotion spending as well as strong growth in our Rice and Bean product. Our success with Rader Farms is attributable to increased velocity with current customers as well as new distribution gains. Also, in line with our strategic growth plans, our premium private label products have been an important revenue contributor and continue to experience strong demand."

McDaniel continued: "Recognizing that T.G.I. Friday's(R) and BURGER KING(TM) did not deliver revenue growth in line with recent historical levels, we remain fully committed to growing these brands and are confident that new product development and growing distribution channels will offset any negative trends in specific channels."

McDaniel concluded: "Looking ahead, in addition to driving our base business, we have a strong line up of new products scheduled to be launched this summer. We are also rolling out our new line of Jamba(TM) make at home smoothie kits in strategic West Coast markets. We have exceeded internal projections for customer acceptance and will support this launch with strong trade and consumer programs. We are confident in our teams' ability to continue to drive strong revenue and profit growth for the balance of this year."
