MGP Ingredients Reports Second Quarter 2020 Results
Operating income increased 4.3% from prior year period; Adjusted operating income up 11.5%
ATCHISON, Kan, July 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MGP Ingredients, Inc. (Nasdaq:MGPI), a leading supplier of premium distilled spirits and specialty wheat proteins and starches, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.
2020 second quarter results compared to 2019 second quarter results
- Consolidated sales increased 2.3% to $92.6 million, reflecting a 1.6% increase in the Distillery Products segment and a 5.4% increase in the Ingredient Solutions segment.
- Consolidated gross profit increased 6.0% to $20.7 million, due to increased gross profit in the Ingredient Solutions segment, partially offset by a $1.7 million impact of a cyberattack that temporarily disrupted production at the Atchison facilities.
- Consolidated operating income increased 4.3% to $11.3 million due to increased gross profit in the Ingredient Solutions segment, partially offset by decreased gross profit in the Distillery Products segment. Further offsetting the increase in operating income were the impacts from the aforementioned cyberattack, as well as increased corporate selling, general and administrative expenses.
- Non-GAAP operating income increased 11.5% to $12.1 million, exclusive of CEO transition costs.
- Earnings per share ("EPS") increased to $0.50 per share from $0.46 per share, reflecting improved operating results.
- Non-GAAP EPS increased to $0.54 per share from $0.46 per share, exclusive of CEO transition costs.
“We remain encouraged by the demand for our products, the improved financial results, as well as a strong balance sheet with ample liquidity to weather the challenges and uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said David Colo, president and CEO of MGP Ingredients. “The results this quarter reflect strong demand for our aged whiskey as well as solid growth in our Ingredient Solutions business.
“This quarter, MGP was the target of a cyberattack that temporarily disrupted production at our Atchison facilities. We have since resumed normal operations and while there was no evidence that any sensitive or confidential data breach occurred, we have since implemented a variety of measures to further enhance our cybersecurity protections.”
Distillery Products Segment - Strong Aged Brown Goods Sales
In the second quarter of 2020, sales for the Distillery Products segment increased 1.6% to $75.2 million, primarily driven by strong sales of aged brown goods and an 11.2% increase in sales of industrial alcohol, partially offset by a decrease in new distillate brown goods sales. Gross profit slightly declined to $16.0 million or 21.3% of segment sales, compared to $16.5 million, or 22.3% of segment sales in the second quarter 2019.
“We are very pleased with the improved performance of our aged whiskey sales this quarter, representing strong double-digit revenue growth from the prior year period,” said Colo. “Despite the uncertainty caused by the pandemic at the retail level and potential challenges to specific customers, we believe the underlying macro consumer trend supporting the ongoing growth of the American Whiskey category remains strong. These encouraging macro trends provide confidence as some new distillate customers worked through elevated inventory levels during the quarter, reflecting a year-over-year decline in new distillate brown goods sales.
“Demand for industrial alcohol remains strong during the COVID-19 pandemic as we continue to help customers navigate the challenges they are confronted with during these difficult times. We believe the increased demand for our industrial alcohol products will continue throughout the balance of the year and into 2021.”

Ingredient Solutions Segment - Gross Profit Increased 55.7%
For the second quarter of 2020, sales in the Ingredient Solutions segment increased 5.4% to $17.4 million. Gross profit increased to $4.7 million, or 27.1% of segment sales, compared to $3.0 million, or 18.3% of segment sales in the second quarter 2019.
“We are pleased with the continued strength of our Ingredient Solutions segment this quarter,” continued Colo. “We remain encouraged by the robust gross margins this quarter as a result of our ability to focus production on our highest margin products and optimize the sales mix. Our Arise® specialty protein and Fibersym® specialty starch product lines are well positioned within the baking, pasta and snacking categories to leverage the ongoing consumer desire to increase the amount of plant-based protein and dietary fiber in their diets as part of an overall healthier lifestyle.”
Other
Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses of $9.4 million for the second quarter 2020 increased 8.3% compared to the second quarter 2019 primarily due to higher personnel and incentive compensation costs, inclusive of certain incremental costs incurred relating to the transition at the CEO position.
The corporate effective tax rate for the quarter was 23.1% compared with 25.0% in the year ago period.
EPS was $0.50 for the second quarter 2020, compared to $0.46 for the second quarter 2019. Non-GAAP EPS increased to $0.54 per share for the second quarter 2020, compared to $0.46 per share for the second quarter 2019.
Conclusion
“The headwinds we identified last quarter have persisted with varying impacts on our financial results during the quarter. The closures of bars, restaurants, and tasting rooms had an impact on our craft customer sales the past few months, even as some states implemented phased re-opening plans. Second, we began to see some of our multinational customers conserve cash this quarter, which had an impact on new distillate sales results. Lastly, international export sales did not meet pre-pandemic expectations as travel has been dramatically reduced and tariffs in key international markets persist. We continue to believe that our investments to expand international sales will provide long-term shareholder value.
“Given the continued uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 virus, and the diminished visibility of a possible macroeconomic recovery in the back half of the year, we have maintained our position against providing 2020 financial guidance at this time,” continued Colo. “I am very pleased with the continued execution of our pandemic response plan, which focuses on protecting our employees and doing our part to help stop the spread of the virus.
“Our balance sheet and access to capital continue to be strong while we continue to optimize cash management during this pandemic. To date, the investment spend related to our warehouse expansion plan was substantially completed during the quarter and totaled approximately $49.8 million. We anticipate additional investments in warehouse capacity to continue over time, as needed, to support the growth of our customers. Additionally, our investment in aged whiskey inventory slightly grew to $113.1 million, at cost. We believe the continued strength of the American Whiskey category through this pandemic has confirmed the long-term value of our aged whiskey inventory. Furthermore, we are continuing to assess M&A opportunities to strengthen our position in growing markets in concert with our financial position in the coming quarters.
“In response to growing demand, we were pleased to announce the release of Remus Repeal Reserve Series IV Straight Bourbon Whiskey in September 2020. Now in its fourth year, our Remus Repeal Reserve program has exceeded expectations and this early fall release allows us to showcase the brand during National Bourbon Month in September. The integration of Green Hat Gin to our award-winning brand portfolio continues to progress despite on-premise closures due to the pandemic. Our premium beverage brands were not immune to the decreased on-premise activity this quarter. While sales activity has increased in states that have undergone partial re-openings, uncertainty persists as states determine how and when full re-openings of bars, restaurants and tasting rooms will occur. However, we will continue to invest in our brands portfolio as we consider this initiative an important driver of long-term growth,” concluded Colo.

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, MGP has disclosed adjusted operating income, adjusted income before taxes, adjusted net income, adjusted MGP earnings, and basic and diluted adjusted earnings per share.

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 these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.
