The Simply Good Foods Company Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2026
Financial Results and Updates Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook
Denver, CO, July 9, 2026 - The Simply Good Foods Company (Nasdaq: SMPL) (“Simply Good Foods,” or the “Company”), a leader in the Nutritional Snacking Category, today reported financial results for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended May 30, 2026.
Third Quarter Summary:(1)
•Net sales of $357.0 million versus $381.0 million
•Net loss of $52.0 million versus net income of $41.1 million
•Loss per diluted share of $0.58 versus earnings per diluted share of $0.40
•Adjusted Diluted EPS(2) of $0.42 versus $0.51
•Adjusted EBITDA(3) of $57.2 million versus $73.9 million
Updating Fiscal Year 2026(4) Outlook:
•Net sales expected to range between $1.345 and $1.355 billion, or a decline of roughly 7% to 6% year-over-year
•Gross margins expected to decline approximately 375 basis points year-over-year
•Adjusted EBITDA expected to range between $220 and $225 million, or -21% to -19% year-over-year
“Our third quarter results reflect initial steps against the turnaround priorities we outlined last quarter. While we are still in the early stages of this work, we are beginning to see some signs of improved alignment around our three key priorities. We delivered third quarter net sales of $357 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $57 million, ahead of our expectations, with performance supported in part by the early effect of select cost actions we announced last quarter,” said Joe Scalzo, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Scalzo continued, “At the same time, we recognize significant work remains, and our priorities are unchanged. We are focused on strengthening our business model, improving the consistency of our execution, and reinvesting behind our most important brand opportunities to support household penetration. We believe steady progress against these actions will position Simply Good Foods to return to sustainable, profitable growth over time.”
Third Quarter 2026 Results
Net sales of $357.0 million decreased 6.3% versus the comparable year ago period, driven by a decline for Atkins of 24.6%, which was only partially offset by Quest and OWYN growth of 1.1% and 3.6%, respectively. The Company's net sales performance was largely driven by known distribution-related declines for Atkins and softer retail takeaway, similar to what the Company experienced in the second quarter.
Total Simply Good Foods retail takeaway(5) decreased about 6.7% driven by a growth for Quest of 1.4% and a decline for OWYN of 1.3%, while Atkins declined 23.9%, which was largely as expected for the brand due to known distribution losses.
Gross profit of $116.1 million decreased 16.2% versus the comparable year ago period, driven by volume declines, higher input costs, and restructuring costs. Gross margin was 32.5%, a decline of 390 basis points versus prior year, which was largely driven by $6.2 million of restructuring costs (a 180-basis point headwind) and higher input costs.
Selling and marketing expenses of $39.2 million increased 15.9% versus the comparable year ago period, which was largely driven by investments in our selling capability, increased spending to support longer-term brand growth and $1.1 million of restructuring costs.
General and administrative ("G&A") expenses of $40.5 million, which contain $6.2 million in restructuring costs, decreased 1.9% versus the comparable year ago period, which contained $5.2 million of integration expenses.
As part of the Company's process to evaluate the carrying value of its brands, the Company recognized an aggregate $82.0 million non-cash, impairment charge related to Goodwill, and the Atkins and OWYN brand intangible assets. The impairment is largely the result of declines in stock price.
Net interest expense of $5.1 million reflected a 20.3% increase versus the comparable year ago period due to a higher debt balance.
The effective tax rate was 5.4%.
Net loss of $52.0 million compared to net income of $41.1 million for the comparable year ago period.
Adjusted EBITDA of $57.2 million decreased 22.5% versus the comparable year ago period.
Reported loss per diluted share was $0.58 versus reported earnings per diluted share of $0.40 in the comparable year ago period.
Adjusted Diluted EPS was $0.42 versus $0.51 in the comparable year ago period.
Weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 89.9 million declined modestly versus the comparable year ago period, reflecting share repurchases.
Year-to-Date Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 Highlights vs. Year-to-date Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2025
Net sales of $1,023.2 million decreased 5.4% versus the comparable year ago period, driven by declines for Atkins and OWYN of 22.6% and 5.5%, respectively, offset by Quest growth of 3.4%. Atkins distribution related declines were largely as expected. OWYN's net sales decline was the result of poor velocities, including on newly expanded distribution.
Total Simply Good Foods retail takeaway decreased about 3.8% driven by growth for Quest and OWYN of 5.1% and 4.8%, respectively, while Atkins declined 22.1%, largely as expected.
Gross profit of $329.0 million decreased 17.6% versus the comparable year ago period, driven by higher input costs. Gross margin was 32.2%, a 470-basis point decline versus the comparable year ago period, driven mainly by $6.5 million of one-time OWYN integration expenses and $6.2 million of restructuring costs.
Selling and marketing expenses of $97.0 million decreased 4.8% versus the comparable year ago period driven by planned marketing declines for Atkins, which more than offset increases to support growth for Quest and OWYN.
G&A expenses of $113.3 million, which contain restructuring costs of $10.8 million, integration expenses of $4.1 million, and term loan transaction fees of $3.0 million, decreased 1.7% versus the comparable year ago period, which contained $12.1 million of integration expenses and $0.7 million of term loan transaction fees.
As part of the Company's process to evaluate the carrying value of its brands, the Company recognized an aggregate $331.0 million non-cash, impairment charge related to Goodwill, and the Atkins and OWYN brand intangible assets. The impairment is largely the result of current fiscal year performance, updated projections of future revenue, and declines in stock price.
Net interest expense of $13.8 million reflected a 18.4% decrease versus the comparable year ago period due to lower interest rates.
The effective tax rate was 22.1%.
Net loss of $186.4 million compared to net income of $116.0 million versus the comparable year ago period.
Adjusted EBITDA of $168.4 million decreased 20.5% versus the comparable year ago period.
Reported loss per diluted share was $1.99 versus reported earnings per share of $1.14 in the comparable year ago period.
Adjusted Diluted EPS was $1.26 versus $1.46 in the comparable year ago period.
Weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 93.7 million declined modestly versus the comparable year ago period, reflecting share repurchases.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
At the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, the Company had cash of $123.9 million and an outstanding principal balance on its term loan of $400.0 million, bringing the Company's quarter-end trailing twelve-month Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio to 1.2x(6). Higher cash and debt balances reflect the Company's strategic decision to borrow an additional $150.0 million concurrently with a three-year extension of the Company's existing credit facilities, which closed in November 2025. Year-to-date cash flow from operations was about $102.2 million versus $133.1 million in the comparable year ago period. Capital expenditures were approximately $10.1 million.
During the quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 2.1 million shares of its common stock for approximately $25 million.
Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook
The Company is updating its previously provided outlook for fiscal year 2026:
•Net Sales expected to range between $1.345 to $1.355 billion, or a decline of roughly 7% to 6% year-over-year
•Gross Margins expected to decline approximately 375 basis points year-over-year
•Adjusted EBITDA expected to range between $220 to $225 million, or -21% to -19% year-over-year
The Company continues to expect net interest expense in the range of $19 to $21 million. The Company now expects capital expenditures in the range of $20 to $25 million. Finally, given the effect of year-to-date share repurchases, the Company now expects a weighted average diluted share count of approximately 90 million shares.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026:
•The Company expects Net Sales to range between $322 to $332 million, or -13% to -10% year-over-year
•Adjusted EBITDA expected to range from $52 to $57 million, or -22% to -14% year-over-year
•The Company expects an effective tax rate of approximately 25%
The foregoing outlook assumes current economic conditions, consumer purchasing behavior and prevailing tariff rates remain generally consistent across the Company's fiscal year.
_______________________________
(1) All comparisons for the third quarter ended May 30, 2026, versus the comparable year-ago period ended May 31, 2025.
(2) Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company excludes restructuring costs, acquisition-related costs, such as Business Transaction costs, integration expense and depreciation and amortization expense in calculating Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share. Please refer to "Reconciliation of Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share" in this press release for an explanation and reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure.
(3) Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to the "Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA" in this press release for an explanation and reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure.
(4) The Company does not provide a forward-looking reconciliation of expected Fiscal Year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, because we are unable to provide such a reconciliation without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for certain components of consolidated net income and the respective reconciliations, and the inherent difficulty of predicting what the changes in these components will be throughout the fiscal year. As these items may vary greatly between periods, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could significantly affect our future financial results.
(5) Combined Quest, Atkins, and OWYN Circana MULO++C and Company unmeasured channel estimate for the 13-weeks ending May 31, 2026, vs. the comparable 13-week year ago period.
(6) Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which Simply Good Foods defines as the total debt outstanding under our credit agreement with Barclays Bank PLC and other parties ("Credit Agreement"), reduced by cash and cash equivalents, and divided by the Company's trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA, as previously defined. The Company does not provide a forward-looking reconciliation of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA to Net Debt to Consolidated Net Income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, expected for Fiscal Year 2026, because we are unable to provide such a reconciliation without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for certain components of consolidated net income and the respective reconciliations, and the inherent difficulty of predicting what the changes in these components will be throughout the fiscal year. As these items may vary greatly between periods, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could significantly affect our future financial results.

Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as alternatives to net income as an indicator of operating performance or as alternatives to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (each as determined in accordance with GAAP). Simply Good Foods defines EBITDA as net income or loss before interest income, interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA as further adjusted to exclude the following items: loss on impairment, stock-based compensation expense, business transaction costs, purchase price accounting inventory step-up, integration costs, term loan transaction fees, restructuring, and other non-core expenses. The Company believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, when used in conjunction with net income, are useful to provide additional information to investors. Management of the Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to supplement net income because these measures reflect operating results of the on-going operations, eliminate items that are not directly attributable to the Company’s underlying operating performance, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to the key metrics the Company’s management uses in its financial and operational decision making. The Company also believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in its industry. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in the non-GAAP calculation.
The following unaudited table provides a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is net income, for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended May 30, 2026, and May 31, 2025:

Reconciliation of Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share
Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to diluted earnings per share as an indicator of operating performance. Simply Good Foods defines Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share as diluted earnings per share before loss on impairment, stock-based compensation expense, business transaction costs, purchase price accounting inventory step-up, integration costs, restructuring, and term loan transaction fees on a theoretical tax effected basis of such adjustments. The tax effect of such adjustments to Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share is calculated by applying an overall assumed statutory tax rate to each gross adjustment as shown in the reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA, as previously defined. The assumed statutory tax rate reflects a normalized effective tax rate estimated based on assumptions regarding the Company's statutory and effective tax rate for each respective reporting period, including the current and deferred tax effects of each adjustment, and is adjusted for the effects of tax reform, if any. The Company consistently applies the overall assumed statutory tax rate to periods throughout each fiscal year and reassesses the overall assumed statutory rate on annual basis. The Company believes that the inclusion of these supplementary adjustments in presenting Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, when used in conjunction with diluted earnings per share, are appropriate to provide additional information to investors, reflects more accurately operating results of the on-going operations, enhances the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects and allows for greater transparency with respect to the key metrics the Company uses in its financial and operational decision making. The Company also believes that Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in its industry. Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share may not be comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in the non-GAAP calculation.

(1) This line item reflects the aggregate tax effect of all non-tax adjustments reflected in the preceding line items of the table. The tax effect of each adjustment is computed (i) by dividing the gross amount of the adjustment, as shown in the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation, by the number of diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the applicable fiscal period and (ii) applying an overall assumed statutory tax rate of 25% for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended May 30, 2026, as well as the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended May 31, 2025.
|
(2) Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share amounts are computed independently for each quarter. Therefore, the sum of the quarterly Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share amounts may not equal the year to date Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share amounts due to rounding.
