Net Sales
Excluding $333.7 million of net sales in the current year related to the Hostess Brands acquisition, $28.6 million of noncomparable net sales in the prior year related to divestitures, and $2.1 million of unfavorable foreign currency exchange, net sales increased $16.9 million, or 1 percent.
The increase in comparable net sales reflects a 1 percentage point increase from volume/mix, primarily driven by increases for the Uncrustables®, Café Bustelo®, and Meow Mix® brands, partially offset by lower contract manufacturing sales related to the divested pet food brands and a decrease for the Dunkin'® brand. Net price realization was neutral to net sales, as higher net pricing for International and Away From Home and the U.S. Retail Frozen Handheld and Spreads segment was offset by lower net pricing for the U.S. Retail Pet Foods and U.S. Retail Coffee segments.
Operating Income
Gross profit increased $142.4 million, or 22 percent. The increase primarily reflects a favorable impact from the acquisition of Hostess Brands and favorable volume/mix, partially offset by the impact of divestitures. Operating income increased $46.0 million, or 15 percent, primarily driven by the increase in gross profit, partially offset by a $76.5 million increase in selling, distribution, and administrative ("SD&A") expenses and a $16.2 million increase in amortization expense, mostly attributable to the impact of the acquisition. Operating income also reflects a $7.1 million increase in special project costs primarily related to integration costs for the acquisition.
Adjusted gross profit increased $188.1 million, or 29 percent. The difference between adjusted gross profit and generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") results primarily reflects a favorable impact of the exclusion of a $40.4 million change in net cumulative unallocated derivative gains and losses. Adjusted operating income, which further reflects the exclusion of other special project costs and amortization expense as compared to GAAP operating income, increased $116.2 million, or 35 percent.
Interest Expense and Income Taxes
Net interest expense increased $68.3 million, primarily due to an increase in interest expense related to the Senior Notes issued to partially finance the acquisition of Hostess Brands and an increase in short-term borrowings under the Company's commercial paper program.
The effective income tax rate was 24.8 percent, compared to 23.0 percent in the prior year. The adjusted effective income tax rate was 24.6 percent, compared to 23.6 percent in the prior year. The increase in the effective and adjusted effective income tax rates was primarily due to a discrete unfavorable impact of share-based compensation, compared to the prior year. Additionally, the prior year effective income tax rate included deferred tax benefits from state tax legislative changes.
Cash Flow and Debt
Cash provided by operating activities was $172.9 million, compared to $217.9 million in the prior year, primarily reflecting more cash required to fund working capital, partially offset by higher net income adjusted for noncash items. Free cash flow was $49.2 million, compared to $67.6 million in the prior year, driven by the decrease in cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by a decrease in capital expenditures as compared to the prior year.
FULL-YEAR OUTLOOK
The Company updated its full-year fiscal 2025 guidance, as summarized below.

Net sales is expected to increase 8.5 to 9.5 percent compared to the prior year. Comparable net sales is expected to increase approximately 0.5 to 1.5 percent, which excludes noncomparable sales in the current year from the acquisition of Hostess Brands and noncomparable sales in the prior year related to the divestitures of the Canada condiment and Sahale Snacks® businesses. This guidance also reflects a decline of approximately $100.0 million of contract manufacturing sales related to the divested pet food brands as compared to the prior year. The updated net sales guidance reflects an ongoing dynamic consumer environment driven by inflationary pressures and diminished discretionary income affecting the dog snacks and sweet baked goods categories, and the anticipated impacts of elasticity of demand within our coffee portfolio due to additional pricing actions as a result of higher than expected green coffee costs, partially offset by increased expectations for Uncrustables® sandwiches.
Adjusted earnings per share is expected to range from $9.60 to $10.00, based on 106.6 million weighted-average common shares outstanding. This guidance reflects the revision to net sales expectations, adjusted gross profit margin of approximately 37.5 percent reflecting higher than anticipated green coffee costs, partially offset by lower than anticipated SD&A expenses, which are expected to increase approximately 9.0 percent as compared to the prior year. Interest expense is expected to be $400.0 million, and the adjusted effective income tax rate is anticipated to be 24.3 percent. Free cash flow is expected to be approximately $875.0 million with capital expenditures of $450.0 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, including: net sales excluding acquisition, divestitures, and foreign currency exchange; adjusted gross profit; adjusted operating income; adjusted income; adjusted earnings per share; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization expense, impairment charges related to intangible assets, and gains and losses on divestitures ("EBITDA (as adjusted)"); and free cash flow, as key measures for purposes of evaluating performance internally. The Company believes that investors’ understanding of its performance is enhanced by disclosing these performance measures. Furthermore, these non-GAAP financial measures are used by management in preparation of the annual budget and for the monthly analyses of its operating results. The Board of Directors also utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures as components for measuring performance for incentive compensation purposes.
Non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain items affecting comparability that can significantly affect the year-over-year assessment of operating results, which include amortization expense and impairment charges related to intangible assets; certain divestiture, acquisition, integration, and restructuring costs ("special project costs"); gains and losses on divestitures; the net change in cumulative unallocated gains and losses on commodity and foreign currency exchange derivative activities ("change in net cumulative unallocated derivative gains and losses"); and other infrequently occurring items that do not directly reflect ongoing operating results. Income taxes, as adjusted is calculated using an adjusted effective income tax rate that is applied to adjusted income before income taxes and reflects the exclusion of the previously discussed items, as well as any adjustments for one-time tax-related activities, when they occur. While this adjusted effective income tax rate does not generally differ materially from the GAAP effective income tax rate, certain exclusions from non-GAAP results can significantly impact the adjusted effective income tax rate.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace the presentation of financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Rather, the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures supplements other metrics used by management to internally evaluate its businesses and facilitate the comparison of past and present operations and liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies and may exclude certain nondiscretionary expenses and cash payments. A reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measure for the current and prior year periods is included in the "Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures" tables. The Company has also provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures for its fiscal year 2025 outlook.

(A) We are unable to project derivative gains and losses on a forward-looking basis as these will vary each quarter based on market conditions and derivative positions taken. The change in unallocated derivative gains and losses in the table above reflects the net impact of the gains and losses that have been recognized in our GAAP results and excluded from non-GAAP results as of July 31, 2024, that are expected to be allocated to non-GAAP results in future periods. |
(B) Represents a non-recurring pre-tax settlement charge related to the termination of one of the Company's U.S. defined benefit pension plans anticipated to be realized during fiscal year 2025 upon settlement of the pension obligations. |
