Fourth Quarter 2020:

Revenues of $205.6 million from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $186.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, an increase of 10.4%.
-
Gross margin increased 360 basis points to 15.5% from 11.9% in the prior year.
-
Earnings attributable to common shareholders were $70.2 million or $0.78 per share in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to a loss attributable to common shareholders of $7.6 million or $0.09 per share in the fourth quarter of 2019. This includes earnings from continuing and discontinued operations.
-
Adjusted earnings attributable to common shareholders were $1.2 million or $0.01 per diluted common share in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to a loss of $5.6 million or $0.06 per diluted common share in the fourth quarter of 2019.

-
Adjusted EBITDA¹ from continuing operations of $20.6 million, or 10.0% of revenues for the fourth quarter of 2020, versus $11.2 million or 6.0% of revenues in the fourth quarter of 2019.
"The fourth quarter was another strong quarter, capping off a transformational year for SunOpta. We delivered 10.4% revenue growth, 15.5% gross margins and 10.0% EBITDA margins in Q4 reflecting the fundamental strength of the business," said Joe Ennen, Chief Executive Officer. "The 84% increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the go-forward business during the fourth quarter was on top of a 649% increase a year earlier. We had more Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2020 from continuing operations than in the entire 2019 fiscal year. In the fourth quarter, we again delivered solid growth in both Plant-Based and Fruit-Based segments coupled with substantial margin improvements including a 19.4% gross profit margin in plant-based and a 10.1% gross profit margin in fruit-based. In addition, we significantly strengthened our balance sheet ensuring the flexibility and capacity to continue investing in core growth initiatives. We remain well positioned in favorable, on-trend categories with a strong pipeline of new business opportunities, particularly in plant-based foods and beverages. I am very proud of our execution and the responsiveness of the entire organization to the many challenges we faced throughout 2020 and we are optimistic we will carry this momentum into 2021."
The table below summarizes the unaudited combined results from continuing operations and discontinued operations for the quarters ended January 2, 2021 and December 28, 2019. The net loss from continuing operations of $34.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 included: (i) $11.2 million of facility exit costs (mainly related to the previously announced exit from the Company's Santa Maria, California, fruit processing facility) severance and asset impairment charges; (ii) a $12.7 million loss on a foreign currency economic hedge of the cash consideration from the sale of Tradin Organic; and (iii) an $8.9 million loss on the retirement of the Company's 9.5% second lien notes on December 31, 2020. In addition, interest expense of $7.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 reflected the Company's pre-December 30, 2020 capital structure with approximately $425 million of debt versus the approximately $70 million of debt at January 2, 2021. Earnings from discontinued operations for the fourth quarter of 2020 included a pre-tax gain on the sale of Tradin Organic of $111.8 million.

Fourth Quarter 2020 Results from Continuing Operations
Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $205.6 million, an increase of 10.4% compared to $186.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.
The Plant-Based Foods and Beverages segment generated revenues of $118.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2020, an increase of 11.1% compared to $106.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The growth primarily reflects expansion of plant-based beverage and broth offerings for retail customers, and higher volumes of ingredient extraction, partially offset by reduced sales volumes of plant-based beverage products to foodservice customers as a result of COVID-19.
The Fruit-Based Foods and Beverages segment generated revenues of $87.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2020, an increase of 9.6% compared to $79.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The growth primarily reflects increased retail volumes of fruit snacks and frozen fruit, as well as increased pricing for frozen fruit partially offset by lower volume for frozen fruit and fruit preparations to foodservice customers as a result of COVID-19.
Gross profit was $31.8 million for the fourth quarter, an increase of $9.6 million compared to $22.2 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit margin was 15.5% in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to 11.9% in the fourth quarter of 2019, an increase of 360 basis points. The Plant-Based Foods and Beverages segment accounted for $3.1 million of the increase in gross profit, primarily due to higher sales and production volumes of plant-based beverages, broths and plant-based ingredients, coupled with productivity-driven cost savings. The Fruit-Based Foods and Beverages segment increased gross profit by $6.5 million in the quarter, reflecting higher sales, pricing and mix factors, as well as further productivity enhancements.
Segment operating income¹ was $6.8 million, or 3.3% of revenues in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to an operating loss of $0.5 million, or 0.3% of revenues in the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase in operating income year-over-year was primarily attributable to the $9.6 million increase in gross profit and the benefit from headcount reductions and other cost savings measures taken in 2019, partially offset by higher SG&A primarily driven by employee-related variable compensation and benefit costs.
The Company reported a loss from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2020 of $34.3 million, or $0.41 per diluted common share (after dividends on preferred stock). The loss included $11.2 million of facility exit costs, severance and asset impairment charges, a $12.7 million loss on a foreign currency economic hedge of the cash consideration from the sale of Tradin Organic, and an $8.9 million loss on the retirement of the Company's second lien notes on December 31, 2020. This compares to a loss from continuing operations of $6.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted common share during the fourth quarter of 2019.
Adjusted loss¹ in the fourth quarter of 2020 was $2.5 million or $0.03 per common share, compared to an adjusted loss of $7.1 million or $0.08 per common share in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $20.6 million or 10.0% of revenues in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $11.2 million or 6.0% of revenues in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Please refer to the discussion and table below under "Non-GAAP Measures".
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
At January 2, 2021, SunOpta had total assets of $585.6 million and total debt of $69.7 million compared to total assets of $923.4 million and total debt of $480.0 million a year earlier, primarily reflecting the sale of Tradin Organic and improved operating performance. During the fourth quarter of 2020, cash generated by operating activities of continuing operations was $19.8 million compared to $33.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2019. Investing activities of continuing operations used $11.2 million of cash in the fourth quarter of 2020 versus $7.9 million in the prior year, primarily due to the settlement of the foreign currency contract economically hedging the Tradin Organic cash consideration.

Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides additional information about its operating results regarding segment operating income, adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), which are not measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company believes that segment operating income, adjusted earnings and adjusted EBITDA assist investors in comparing performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that are not indicative of its operating performance. The non-GAAP measures of segment operating income, adjusted earnings and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
In order to evaluate its results of operations, the Company uses certain other non-GAAP measures that it believes enhance an investor's ability to derive meaningful period-over-period comparisons and trends from the results of operations. In particular, the Company evaluates its revenues on a basis that excludes the effects of foreign exchange rates and the impact of acquired or disposed operations. In addition, the Company excludes specific items from its reported results that due to their nature or size, it does not expect to occur as part of its normal business on a regular basis. These items are identified in the tables below. These non-GAAP measures are presented solely to allow investors to more fully assess the Company's results of operations and should not be considered in isolation of, or as substitutes for an analysis of the Company's results as reported under U.S. GAAP.
Adjusted Earnings/Loss
When assessing its financial performance, the Company uses an internal measure that excludes losses and gains that it believes are not reflective of normal operations. This information is provided to allow investors to make meaningful comparisons of the Company's operating performance between periods and to view the Company's business from the same perspective as the Company's management. Adjusted earnings/loss and adjusted earnings/loss per diluted share should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The following is a tabular presentation of adjusted earnings/loss and adjusted earnings/loss per diluted share, including a reconciliation from net earnings/loss, which the Company believes to be the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. In addition, the Company has prepared this table in a columnar format to present the effects of discontinued operations on its consolidated results for the periods presented. The Company believes this presentation assists investors in assessing the financial performance of its continuing operations.
