Forward guidance

The Company anticipates net revenues to be in the range of $120 million to $140 million for the third quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 27% to 48% compared to the third quarter of 2020.

Tailwinds

  • Continued recovery in foodservice channels compared to the prior year
  • Reasonable containment of COVID-19 infection rates both in the U.S. and abroad.
  • Third quarter guidance range reflects management's expectations of a sequential moderation in growth in foodservice channels following pipeline restocking activity in the second quarter of 2021.
  • Expectation that U.S. retail channels will benefit less from Fourth of July sales in the third quarter of 2021 given that there were 5 fewer shipping days in the third quarter of 2021 leading up to July 4th compared to the year-ago period.
  • Advancement of overall cost-down program.

Headwinds

  • Near-term uncertainty related to COVID-19 and its potential impact on retail and foodservice demand levels.
  • Expected dampening of U.S. and international foodservice revenue growth due to recent losses of distribution and operator challenges due to labor issues.
  • General caution in light of uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 infection rates, particularly due to the Delta variant.
  • Potential impact on retail and foodservice demand levels.
  • Possible disruption of demand patterns due to the recent uptick of COVID-19 cases.
