View PricingFlower Foods Misses Revenue Expectations, but Sees Bright Full-Year Outlook
Flower Foods, known for its Wonder Bread brand, reported Q4 revenue of $1.11 billion, missing Wall Street expectations by posting a year-on-year decline of 1.6%. This comes amidst a mixed quarter for the packaged bakery food company (source). Despite this shortfall, Flower Foods has projected full-year revenue guidance of $5.45 billion at the midpoint, exceeding analysts' estimates by 4.3%, buoyed by strong execution of cost-saving initiatives according to CEO Ryals McMullian.
In the U.S., the fresh bread and miscellaneous bakery industry witnessed a decline with export values dropping from $2.2 billion in 2023 to $2.1 billion in 2024, as per data from the IndexBox platform. On the import side, the United States saw an increase from $6.9 billion in 2023 to $7.4 billion in 2024, highlighting robust demand for foreign bakery products. Key suppliers included Canada and Mexico, with Canada accounting for $3.9 billion of imports in 2024 alone.
While Flower Foods faces challenges in maintaining sales volume, which decreased by 2.5% year on year in Q4 2024, its overall market position remains resilient thanks to strategic management. Moreover, its full-year EBITDA guidance exceeded Wall Street estimates, lending a positive outlook despite the setback in organic revenue growth this quarter.
As Flower Foods continues to navigate the competitive perishable food industry, analysts expect a modest revenue growth of 2.4% over the next 12 months, a deceleration from previous years. The company's ability to manage its inventory and maintain quality control will be crucial to sustaining growth in a sector where Bakery imports from countries like France, Italy, and Mexico are on the rise.
