Q2 2025 earnings summary8 Aug, 2025

Executive summary

  • Achieved year-over-year growth in sales, volume, and adjusted EBITDA in Q2 2025, supported by strong execution, later Lent timing, and targeted promotions in both retail and foodservice.

  • Completed acquisition of Mrs. Paul's and Van de Kamp's brands from ConAgra for $42.4M, expanding U.S. retail footprint and positioning as the second largest frozen seafood producer in the U.S. by volume.

  • Integration of new brands underway, with cross-selling, innovation, and synergies expected to drive future growth.

Financial highlights

  • Q2 2025 sales volume increased 6% to 54.8 million pounds; net sales rose 9.8% to $239.6 million; adjusted EBITDA grew 5.5% to $25.1 million.

  • Gross profit up 1.5% to $53.3 million, but gross margin declined to 22.3% from 24.0%.

  • Net income fell 56% to $8.5 million, with diluted EPS at $0.28 (vs. $0.59 prior year); adjusted net income up 2.7% to $11.5 million, adjusted EPS at $0.38 (vs. $0.35).

  • For H1 2025, sales grew 2.6% to $508.0 million; net income decreased 33.7% to $23.8 million; adjusted EBITDA down 1.5% to $57.2 million.

  • Net cash from operations decreased to $15.6 million (from $39 million), mainly due to working capital changes and higher inventory.

Outlook and guidance

  • Expectation for continued low single-digit volume growth, excluding Lent timing effects, for the remainder of the year.

  • Confident in largely offsetting tariff and input cost pressures in H2 2025 through pricing and mitigation strategies.

  • Anticipate normal seasonal margin trends in Q3, with most acquisition benefits realized in 2026 and long-term sustainable growth from recent acquisitions.

  • Focused on ending the year with adjusted EBITDA growth despite market headwinds.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
