B&G Foods (BGS) to Post Q2 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Zacks Equity Research
Wed, August 3, 2022, 3:19 PM·5 min read
B&G Foods, Inc. BGS is likely to witness year-over-year growth in the top line when it reports second-quarter 2022 earnings on Aug 4. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $480.2 million, suggesting an increase of 3.4% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
B&G Foods’ bottom line is likely to decline from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings has been stable in the past 30 days at 26 cents per share. The projection suggests a decline of 36.6% from the figure reported in the prior-year period.
We expect the top line to be up 3% year over year to $478.3 million and the bottom line to decline 27.5% to 30 cents per share.
BGS manufactures, sells and distributes a portfolio of shelf-stable, and frozen foods and household products. B&G Foods has a trailing four-quarter negative earnings surprise of 8.6%, on average. BGS witnessed a negative earnings surprise of 12.8% in the last reported quarter.
Things to Consider
B&G Foods is constantly witnessing higher demand for its products as consumers continue to cook and bake at home, a trend fueled by the pandemic. BGS is focused on solidifying its brand portfolio through acquisitions of complementary branded businesses, developing new products, and utilizing its multiple channel sales and distribution system. Prudent buyouts like Crisco, Farmwise and Clabber Girl have been yielding well for BGS for a while. All these factors are likely to have contributed to BGS’ second-quarter 2022 sales performance.
However, B&G Foods has been battling cost inflation for a while. On its last earnings call, management highlighted that it expects to witness higher cost inflation for inputs, such as ingredients, packaging and transportation due to factors like the pandemic, the Ukraine war, weather conditions, supply-chain hurdles and the shortage of labor. These factors are most likely to have weighed on the bottom-line performance in the quarter under review.
What the Zacks Model Unveils
Our proven model does not predict an earnings beat for B&G Foods this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is not the case here. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
BGS has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% and a Zacks Rank #3.
Starting to nibble here for LT dividend payer position. What's up with the 20% short state? Seems excessive for such a solid player.

B&G Foods launch 7.5M shares in ATM equity offering • 8:29 AM
B&G Foods (NYSE:BGS) intends to offer and sell up to 7.5M shares in an at-the-market ATM equity offering program.
Net proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes, which could include, among other things, repayment, refinancing, redemption or repurchase of long-term debt or possible acquisitions.
Shares trading 0.5% down premarket
I assume they'll refinance something and make a small acquisition.
I wish they were better at growing organically. Then the PPS would take off.
This is HUGE news. Awesome :)
I agree.
Besides if they intend in the future to use a dilutive equity raise to make another acquisition, better it be done at a lower O/S and higher PPS.
Some are complaining that they should raise the dividend instead. Not me. This will raise the share price and probably lead to a dividend increase to hold the percentage.

B&G Foods Completes Acquisition of Iconic Crisco® Brand
https://www.bgfoods.com/investor-relations/news/article/13851
PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 1, 2020-- B&G Foods, Inc. (NYSE: BGS) announced that effective today it has completed the acquisition of the iconic Crisco brand of oils and shortening from The J. M. Smucker Co. for $550 million in cash, subject to a customary adjustment based upon inventory at closing. As part of the acquisition, B&G Foods also acquired a manufacturing facility and warehouse in Cincinnati, Ohio.
B&G Foods expects the acquisition to be immediately accretive to its earnings per share and free cash flow. B&G Foods projects that in 2021, the acquired business will continue to benefit from increased demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic and generate annual net sales of approximately $270 million, adjusted EBITDA in the range of $65 million to $70 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.45 to $0.50. Because the acquisition was structured as an asset purchase, B&G Foods expects to realize approximately $75 million in tax benefits on a net present value basis. At the midpoint of B&G Foods’ 2021 projected adjusted EBITDA for the business, the acquisition represents a purchase price multiple of approximately 8.1 times adjusted EBITDA (or 7.0 times adjusted EBITDA net of expected tax benefits).
Crisco is the original all-vegetable shortening that transformed the way people bake and cook over 100 years ago. Crisco is the number one brand of shortening, the number one brand of vegetable oil and also holds a leadership position in other cooking oils and cooking sprays.
B&G Foods funded the acquisition and related fees and expenses with cash on hand and revolving loans under its existing credit facility.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Items Affecting Comparability
“Adjusted diluted earnings per share” (diluted earnings per share adjusted for certain items that affect comparability, including cash and non-cash acquisition/divestiture-related expenses, gains and losses (which may include third party fees and expenses, integration, restructuring and consolidation expenses and amortization of acquired inventory fair value step-up)); “EBITDA” (net income before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and loss on extinguishment of debt), and “adjusted EBITDA” (EBITDA as adjusted for cash and non-cash acquisition/divestiture-related expenses, gains and losses (which may include third party fees and expenses, integration, restructuring and consolidation expenses, amortization of acquired inventory fair value step-up and gains and losses on the sale of assets), non-recurring expenses and certain other items described from time to time in the Company’s SEC filings and earnings releases) are “non-GAAP financial measures.” A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) in B&G Foods’ consolidated balance sheets and related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
B&G Foods provides earnings guidance only on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide a reconciliation of the Company’s forward-looking adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including deferred taxes; loss on extinguishment of debt; adjustments that could be made for acquisition/divestiture-related expenses, gains and losses and other charges reflected in the Company’s reconciliation of historic non-GAAP financial measures, the amounts of which, based on past experience, could be material.
