Vital Farms Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2022 Financial Results
Fourth Quarter Net Revenue a Record $110.1 million, up 42.2% versus Prior Year
Expects Net Revenue of More than $450 million in Fiscal Year 2023
AUSTIN, TX – March 9, 2023 – Vital Farms (Nasdaq: VITL), a Certified B Corporation that offers a range of ethically produced foods nationwide, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 25, 2022.
Financial highlights for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 25, 2022 include:
“2022 was another great year for Vital Farms’ financial results. We had a strong close to the year in Q4, achieving our highest net revenue in a single quarter driven by continued robust demand for our products. We also made significant gains in household penetration, growing the number of households who purchase Vital Farms products by over 45%, to 10.5 million,” said Russell Diez-Canseco, Vital Farms’ President and CEO.
Diez-Canseco continued, "Our continued success throughout this past year is a testament to the resilient stakeholder community of which we are a part. Specifically, I would like to recognize our crew members for their tireless efforts, and our farmers, whose passion for what they do and professionalism during all the change we experienced this past year is truly inspiring.”
1 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined in the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below and is reconciled to net income, its closest comparable GAAP measure, at the end of this release.
For the 13 Weeks Ended December 25, 2022
Net revenue increased 42.2% to $110.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $77.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Growth in net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 was driven by volume gains of 27%, primarily due to continued growth in egg-related sales, and pricing increases, as well as distribution gains at both new and existing retail customers.
Gross profit was $33.3 million, or 30.3% of net revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $19.8 million, or 25.6% of net revenue, in the prior year quarter. The change in gross profit was driven by higher sales. The change in gross margin was due to increased pricing across our entire portfolio despite facing some headwinds, including higher costs in both eggs and butter, elevated packaging costs, and increased farmer payments.
Income from operations in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $3.4 million, compared to a loss from operations of $4.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The change in income from operations was primarily attributable to higher sales and gross profit, offset by increased employee-related expenses as we grew headcount to support our growth, as well as higher marketing costs.
Net income was $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to a net loss of $3.6 million in the prior year quarter.
Net income per diluted share was $0.04 for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to net loss per diluted share of $0.09 in the prior year quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA was $6.9 million, or 6.2% of net revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $(2.0) million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The change in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher sales and improved gross profit performance in the face of a higher input cost environment, offset by increased employee-related expenses and higher marketing spend. Our Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain non-cash items. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined in the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below and is reconciled to net income, its closest comparable GAAP measure, at the end of this release.
For the Fiscal Year Ended December 25, 2022
Net revenue increased 38.8% to $362.1 million in fiscal year 2022, compared to $260.9 million in fiscal year 2021. The change in net revenue in fiscal year 2022 was driven by volume growth of nearly 29%, due to continued growth in egg-related sales, distribution gains at both new and existing retail partners, and an increase in butter-related sales.
Gross profit was $109.4 million, or 30.2% of net revenue, in fiscal year 2022, compared to $82.9 million, or 31.8% of net revenue, in the prior year period. The change in gross profit was driven by higher sales. The change in gross margin was primarily driven by an increase in input costs across our shell egg and butter businesses, as well as higher packaging and transportation costs. Increased pricing on our portfolio partially offset the input cost headwinds.
Income from operations in fiscal year 2022 was $2.1 million, compared to income from operations of $52 thousand in fiscal year 2021. The change in net income from operations was primarily attributable to higher sales and gross profit, offset by increased employee-related expenses as we grew headcount to support our growth, as well as higher marketing costs.
Net income was $1.2 million in fiscal year 2022, compared to net income of $2.4 million in the prior year period.
Net income per diluted share was $0.03 in fiscal year 2022, compared to net income per diluted share of $0.06 in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA was $16.2 million in fiscal year 2022, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $8.0 million in fiscal year 2021. The change in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher sales and improved gross profit performance in the face of a higher input cost environment, partially offset by increased employee-related expenses to support growth across the business and higher marketing spend. Our Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain non-cash items as well as $2.3 million in costs related to the exit of our convenient breakfast product line in Q1 2022. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined in the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below and is reconciled to net income, its closest comparable GAAP measure, at the end of this release.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights
Cash and cash equivalents and investment securities were $78.7 million as of December 25, 2022, and we had no outstanding debt. Net cash used in operating activities was $8.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2022, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $17.7 million for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2021.
Capital expenditures totaled $10.6 million in the fiscal year ended December 25, 2022, compared to $16.7 million in the prior year period.
Update on Fiscal Year 2023 Outlook
Bo Meissner, Vital Farms’ Chief Financial Officer, commented: “We are pleased with our financial performance and ongoing demand for our products. It has been a privilege serving as CFO of Vital Farms. As I prepare to step away from the company later this year, I would like to reiterate my confidence that Vital Farms is well positioned to further its progress toward its long-term top line objectives as well as its profitability goal of low double-digit Adjusted EBITDA Margin.”
Vital Farms’ guidance continues to assume that there are no additional significant disruptions to the supply chain or its customers or consumers, including any issues from adverse macroeconomic factors. Vital Farms cannot provide a reconciliation between its forecasted Adjusted EBITDA and net income, or its forecasted Adjusted EBITDA Margin and net revenue, their respective most directly comparable GAAP measures, without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for income taxes, among other items. These items are not within our control and may vary greatly between periods and could significantly impact future financial results.
Conference Call and Webcast Details
Vital Farms will host a conference call and webcast at 8:30 a.m. ET today to discuss the results. To participate on the call and receive dial in information, please register here: Q4 2022 VITL Conference Call. Alternatively, participants may access the live webcast on the Vital Farms Investor Relations website at https://investors.vitalfarms.com under “Events.” The webcast will be archived in 30 days.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, non-GAAP financial measures, provide investors with additional useful information in evaluating our performance.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are financial measures that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, when taken together with our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance and facilitate internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations or outlook. In particular, we believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are helpful to our investors as they are measures used by management in assessing the health of our business, determining incentive compensation and evaluating our operating performance, as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes.
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income, adjusted to exclude: (1) depreciation and amortization; (2) (benefit) or provision for income taxes as applicable; (3) stock-based compensation expense; (4) interest expense; (5) change in fair value of contingent consideration; (6) interest income; (7) the costs related to the discontinuation of our convenient breakfast product line; and (8) the costs related to the dissolution of the Ovabrite, Inc. variable interest entity. We believe the costs directly related to the convenient breakfast exit and dissolution of Ovabrite, Inc. should be excluded as they are unlikely to recur. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net Revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin include that (1) they do not properly reflect capital commitments to be paid in the future; (2) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect these capital expenditures; (3) they do not consider the impact of stock-based compensation expense; (4) they do not include costs related to the discontinuation of our convenient breakfast product line; (5) they do not reflect the dissolution of the Ovabrite, Inc. variable interest entity; (6) they do not reflect other non-operating expenses, including interest expense; (7) they do not consider the impact of any contingent consideration liability valuation adjustments and (8) they do not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us. In addition, our use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner, limiting the usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, when evaluating our performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin alongside other financial measures, including our net income and other results stated in accordance with GAAP.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP, for the 13-week and 52-week periods presented. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA Margin to net revenue, its most directly comparable GAAP measure, is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for income taxes, among other items.
