MGP Ingredients Reports First Quarter 2026 Results ATCHISON, Kan.--( BUSINESS WIRE)--MGP Ingredients, Inc. (Nasdaq: MGPI), a leading provider of branded and distilled spirits and food ingredient solutions, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

“I’m pleased with our first quarter results, as sales were in-line with expectations, while adjusted EBITDA and adjusted basic EPS came in ahead of our plans. During the quarter, we remained focused on disciplined execution and long-term value creation, as we continued to navigate a challenging industry backdrop,” said Julie Francis, president and CEO. “We also maintained momentum in our premium plus portfolio, led by Penelope Bourbon and continued demand for our specialty offerings, and delivered growth in Ingredient Solutions, reflecting improvements in operational reliability. As we move through 2026, we will continue to follow our strategic roadmap and drive our key growth initiatives, while prioritizing our best opportunities for growth, taking decisive actions, and executing with discipline.”

First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights Compared to First Quarter 2025:

Consolidated Results

First quarter 2026 sales decreased by 13% versus the prior year, primarily due to expected declines in brown goods sales in the Distilling Solutions segment. The lower brown goods sales volume also pressured profitability, resulting in declines in gross profit and gross margin. Operating income decreased to a loss of $173.2 million, primarily due to discrete, non-cash adjustments to goodwill and other long-lived assets. On an adjusted basis, operating income decreased by 49% to $7.9 million. For the quarter, adjusted EBITDA decreased 31% to $15.0 million.

First quarter advertising and promotion expenses decreased 24% to $6.2 million, as the company continued to realign spend behind its most attractive growth opportunities, with Branded Spirits advertising and promotion spend of $6.0 million or approximately 13.6% of Branded Spirits segment sales. First quarter selling, general and administrative expense declined 1%, while adjusted SG&A decreased 2% and represented 18% of consolidated sales.

During the first quarter of 2026, the company recorded a $115.7 million non-cash adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill and a $37.0 million non-cash adjustment to the carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets in the Branded Spirits segment, primarily due to certain unfavorable macroeconomic factors such as a higher discount rate and lower peer valuation multiples. Additionally, during the first quarter, the company recorded a $26.9 million long-lived fixed asset impairment related to equipment at its Lux Row distillery in Bardstown, KY, which, as previously announced, is being temporarily idled beginning in May 2026. These charges resulted in a net loss of $134.8 million and basic EPS loss of $(6.30) for the first quarter. On an adjusted basis, first quarter net income and basic EPS were $3.3 million and $0.15 per share, respectively.

Branded Spirits

Branded Spirits segment sales of $44.2 million decreased 8% versus the prior year quarter. Premium plus sales increased by 1.5%, as the company’s targeted focus on growth opportunities continued to gain traction. Within this portfolio, Penelope Bourbon maintained its strong growth trajectory and was up 10% versus the prior year. As expected, sales of private label bottled products within the other category declined year-over-year. Combined sales of mid- and value-priced portfolios declined by 3%, as the company continued to successfully prioritize its best performing offerings in these price tiers. Branded Spirits gross margin increased by 180 basis points to 47.8%, while gross profit moderated slightly to $21.1 million.

Distilling Solutions

Distilling Solutions segment sales of $28.0 million decreased by 40% versus the prior year, while gross profit declined 54% to $8.6 million, or 30.8% of segment sales. As expected, lower demand for aged and new distillate whiskey continued to pressure segment results and drove a 56% decline in brown goods sales for the first quarter.

Ingredient Solutions

Ingredient Solutions segment sales of $34.2 million increased by 29% versus the prior year, primarily driven by higher sales volume and price/mix of specialty wheat proteins and starches. Segment gross profit increased to $3.8 million, or 11.2% of segment sales, as higher sales of specialty protein and starch products partially offset higher waste starch stream disposal costs.

2026 Financial Outlook

MGP reaffirmed its consolidated guidance for fiscal 2026:

Dividend Distribution

The company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock. The dividend is payable on May 29, 2026, to stockholders of record as of May 15, 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides certain non-GAAP financial measures that are not in accordance with, or alternatives for, GAAP. In addition to the comparable GAAP measures, the Company has disclosed adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”), adjusted operating income, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income, adjusted MGP earnings, adjusted EBITDA, net debt, net debt leverage ratio, and adjusted basic and diluted EPS, as well as guidance for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted basic EPS. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should be reviewed in conjunction with SG&A, operating income, income before income taxes, net income, net income used in earnings per common share calculation, debt, and basic and diluted EPS computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for the GAAP measure. We believe that the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's performance and overall results of operations. In addition, management uses these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP measures when evaluating the Company’s operating results compared to prior periods on a consistent basis, assessing financial trends, and for forecasting purposes. Non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to other companies, even if similar terms are used to identify such measures. The attached schedules provide a full reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. Full year 2026 guidance measures of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted basic EPS are provided on a non-GAAP basis without a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because the Company is unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. Such items include without limitation, acquisition related expenses, restructuring and related expenses, and other items not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations.

Conversion premium in shares (d) (e)

(a)

Number of bonds outstanding is calculated by taking the principal amount of the bonds divided by the par value.

(b)

Average share price is calculated by taking the average of the daily closing share price for the period. If the average share price is less than the conversion price of $96.23620 per share, the impact to EPS is anti-dilutive and therefore the shares were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation.

(c)

Impact of conversion is calculated by taking the number of bonds outstanding multiplied by the initial conversion rate multiplied by the average share price. If the average share price is less than the conversion price then the impact of conversion is zero.

(d)

The impacts of the Convertible Senior Notes are included in the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding if the impact is dilutive. The Convertible Senior Notes would only have a dilutive impact if the average market price per share during the quarter exceed the conversion price of $96.23620 per share.

(e)

Conversion premium in shares is calculated by taking the conversion premium divided by the average share price. If the average share price is less than the conversion price, then the conversion premium in shares is zero.
