Second Quarter 2026 Results
Second quarter Net Sales increased 1.4% to $371.8 million compared to $366.7 million in the prior year period. Organic Net Sales increased 1.4% year-over-year, driven by a favorable net price realization of 3.6% partially offset by lower volume/mix of (2.2)%. The Bonus Packs promotion in the prior year second quarter had a net neutral 0.6 point impact on both volume/mix and price. Excluding the Bonus Packs promotion, net price realization increased 3.0% and volume/mix decreased 1.6%. Branded Salty Snacks Organic Net Sales(3) (representing 89% of total Net Sales) increased 3.3% led by our Power Four Brands, offset by a 12.1% decline in Non-Branded & Non-Salty Snacks Organic Net Sales(3), primarily due to Non-Branded, which was impacted by accelerated elimination of low margin items.
For the 13-week period ended June 28, 2026, the Company’s Branded Salty Snacks Retail Sales increased 0.3% versus the prior year period, compared to a 0.8% increase for the Salty Snack category overall(3). The Company’s Retail Volumes decreased by 4.6%, impacted by the lap of Bonus Packs, compared to a 1.1% increase for the Salty Snack category. The
Company drove Retail Sales gains in its Expansion Geographies(2)(3). The Company’s Power Four Brands of Utz®, On The Border®, Zapp’s® and Boulder Canyon® Retail Sales increased by 2.0%.
Gross Profit Margin of 25.9% decreased 10bps compared to 26.0% in the prior year period. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin of 33.2% expanded 150bps compared to 31.7% in the prior year period. The increase in Adjusted Gross Profit Margin was driven by productivity savings, which more than offset supply chain cost inflation.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A Expenses”) were $101.3 million, or 27.2% of Net Sales, compared to $88.0 million, or 24.0% of Net Sales, in the prior year period. Adjusted SG&A Expenses were $67.9 million, or 18.3% of Net Sales, compared to $67.4 million, or 18.4% of Net Sales, in the prior year period. The decrease in Adjusted SG&A Expenses as a percentage of Net Sales was primarily due to Adjusted SG&A expense leverage, partially offset by increased marketing.
The Company reported a Net Loss of $16.0 million compared to Net Income of $10.1 million in the prior year period. Net Income in the prior year period benefited from a $12.5 million gain from the remeasurement of the warrant liability. Adjusted Net Income in the quarter increased 14.8% to $27.1 million compared to $23.6 million in the prior year period. Adjusted Earnings Per Share increased 11.8% to $0.19 compared to $0.17 in the prior year period. The Adjusted Earnings Per Share increase was primarily the result of higher Adjusted Net Income.
The Company reported EBITDA of $17.4 million compared to EBITDA of $39.1 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA increased 14.4% to $55.7 million, or 15.0% as a percentage of Net Sales, compared to $48.7 million, or 13.3% as a percentage of Net Sales, in the prior year period. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by Adjusted Gross Profit Margin expansion, which more than offset the increase in Adjusted SG&A expenses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
Utz uses non-GAAP financial information and believes it is useful to investors as it provides additional information to facilitate comparisons of historical operating results and identify trends in our underlying operating results, and it provides additional insight and transparency on how we evaluate the business. We use non-GAAP financial measures to budget, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate our performance. These non-GAAP financial measures do not represent financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
(“GAAP”) and may exclude items that are significant to understanding and assessing financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations, earnings per share or other measures of profitability, liquidity, or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that the presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplements to the GAAP measures reported, should not be considered replacements for, or superior to, the GAAP measures, and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. The Company’s calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from methods used by other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the financial condition and results of operations of the Company to date when considered with both the GAAP results and the reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures, and that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors in the evaluation of our operating performance compared to other companies in the Salty Snack industry, as similar measures are commonly used by the companies in this industry. These non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of management judgment about which items of expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures. As new events or circumstances arise, these definitions could change. When the definitions change, we will provide the updated definitions and present the related non-GAAP historical results on a comparable basis.
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company revised the categorization of certain charges and gains that were historically categorized as acquisition, divestitures and investments, business transformation, and financing-related costs. The Company is now presenting the associated charges and gains within the categories supply chain transformation and corporate transformation. The nature of the charges and gains included in these adjustments, as well as the total amount of all of these adjustments in all prior periods presented, are unchanged. We believe that this change provides a better reflection of the impact of the charges and gains and aligns with how management views the adjustments internally. Prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Additionally, the Company has revised the presentation of its reconciliations of Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. We believe the revised presentation of reconciliation information provides investors with helpful context on the impacts of the adjustments.
Utz uses the following non-GAAP financial measures in its financial communications, and in the future could use others:
•Organic Net Sales
•Adjusted Gross Profit
•Adjusted Gross Profit as % of Net Sales (Adjusted Gross Profit Margin)
•Adjusted Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
•Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expense
•Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expense as % of Net Sales (Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expense Margin)
•Adjusted Net Income
•Adjusted Earnings Per Share
•Adjusted Earnings Before Taxes
•EBITDA
•Adjusted EBITDA
•Adjusted EBITDA as % of Net Sales (Adjusted EBITDA Margin)
•Effective Normalized Tax Rate
•Net Leverage Ratio
•Adjusted COGS
•Branded Salty Snacks Organic Net Sales
•Non-Branded & Non-Salty Snacks Organic Net Sales
•Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Organic Net Sales is defined as Net Sales excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and independent operator (“IO”) route conversions that took place after 1Q’2024.
Adjusted Gross Profit represents Gross Profit excluding Depreciation and Amortization expense, a non-cash item. In addition, Adjusted Gross Profit excludes the impact of costs that fall within the categories of non-cash adjustments and/or other cash adjustment items such as those related to stock-based compensation, hedging and purchase commitments adjustments, asset impairments, supply chain transformation, and corporate transformation. Adjusted Gross Profit is one of the key performance indicators that our management uses to evaluate operating performance. We also report Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of Net Sales as an additional measure for investors to evaluate our Adjusted Gross Profit Margin.
Adjusted Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) represents Net Sales less Adjusted Gross Profit
Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expense is defined as all Selling, General and Administrative expense excluding Depreciation and Amortization expense, a non-cash item. In addition, Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expense excludes the impact of costs that fall within the categories of non-cash adjustments and/or other cash adjustment items such as those related to stock-based compensation, hedging and purchase commitments adjustments, asset impairments, supply chain transformation, and corporate transformation. We also report Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expense as a percentage of Net Sales as an additional measure for investors to evaluate our Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Margin.
Adjusted Net Income is defined as Net Income excluding Depreciation and Amortization expense, a non-cash item, related to fair value adjustments on property, plant, and equipment, and definite-lived intangibles relating to business combinations recorded in prior periods. In addition, Adjusted Net Income excludes deferred financing fees, interest income, and expense relating to IO loans and certain non-cash adjustments and/or other cash adjustment items such as those related to stock-based compensation, hedging, and purchase commitments adjustments, asset impairments, supply chain transformation, corporate transformation, remeasurement of warrant liabilities. Lastly, Adjusted Net Income normalizes the income tax provision to account for the above-mentioned adjustments.
Adjusted Earnings Before Taxes is defined as Adjusted Net Income before normalized GAAP basis tax expense.
Adjusted Earnings Per Share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average shares outstanding for each period on a fully diluted basis assuming the shares of Class V Common Stock of the Company are converted to Class A Common Stock of the Company.
EBITDA is defined as Net Income Before Interest, Income Taxes, and Depreciation and Amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash adjustments and/or other cash adjustment items, such as stock-based compensation, hedging and purchase commitments adjustments, asset impairments, supply chain transformation, and corporate transformation. Adjusted EBITDA is one of the key performance indicators we use in evaluating our operating performance and in making financial, operating, and planning decisions. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to the users of this release because the financial information contained in the release can be used in the evaluation of Utz’s operating performance compared to other companies in the Salty Snack industry, as similar measures are commonly used by companies in this industry. In this release, we also provide Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net Sales as an additional measure for readers to evaluate our Adjusted EBITDA Margin.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as Cash Flow from Operating Activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows less Purchases of Property and Equipment (Capital Expenditures) plus Net Proceeds from Sale of Property and Equipment, both included in Cash flow from investing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Effective Normalized Tax Rate is defined as normalized GAAP basis tax expense, which excludes one-time items, divided by Adjusted Earnings before Taxes.
Net Leverage Ratio is defined as trailing twelve month Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA. Net Debt is defined as Gross Debt less Cash and Cash Equivalents.
Other Defined Terms:
Branded Salty Snacks is defined as Power Four Brands and Other Brands. Power Four Brands consist of the Utz® brand, On The Border®, Zapp’s®, and Boulder Canyon®. Other Brands include Golden Flake®, TORTIYAHS!®, Hawaiian®, Bachman®, Tim’s Cascade®, Dirty Potato Chips®, TGI Fridays® and Vitner's®.
Non-Branded & Non-Salty Snacks is defined as partner brands, private label, co-manufacturing for which we are the manufacturer, Utz branded non-salty snacks such as On The Border® Dips and Salsa, and sales not attributable to specific brands.
