Reiterates Outlook for Full Year 2024
Traeger, Inc. ("Traeger" or the "Company") (NYSE: COOK), creator and category leader of the wood pellet grill, today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
First Quarter FY 24 Highlights
"In the first quarter, we executed on our plan and delivered revenue and Adjusted EBITDA results at the high-end of our guidance range," said Jeremy Andrus, Chief Executive Officer of Traeger. "As we anticipated, consumer demand for grills remained soft in the first quarter. Despite facing a challenging demand backdrop for our category, our first quarter results demonstrate our commitment to financial and operational improvement, and we reported our highest quarterly gross margin since being a public company. Our team is highly focused on execution as we head into the peak selling season for the grill category and we remain committed to our long-term strategic goals of driving household penetration and innovation. I continue to believe that we are positioned for strong long-term growth as the demand environment normalizes over time."
Operating Results for the First Quarter
Total revenue decreased by 5.4% to $144.9 million, compared to $153.2 million in the first quarter last year.
North America revenue declined 9.1% in the first quarter compared to the prior year. Rest of World revenues increased 31.1% in the first quarter compared to the prior year.
Gross profit increased to $62.6 million, compared to $55.4 million in the first quarter last year. Gross profit margin was 43.2% in the first quarter, compared to 36.2% in the same period last year. The increase in gross margin was driven primarily by favorability from freight and logistics, pellet mill capacity optimization, and favorable foreign exchange rates.
Sales and marketing expenses were $21.7 million, compared to $22.1 million in the first quarter last year. The decrease in sales and marketing expense was driven by decreases in demand creation costs, partially offset by increased employee expenses.
General and administrative expenses were $32.1 million, compared to $26.7 million in the first quarter last year. The increase in general and administrative expense was driven by higher stock-based compensation expense, higher employee expenses, and higher occupancy expenses, partially offset by expenses relating to the disposal of pellet mill assets in the comparable period.
Net loss was $4.7 million in the first quarter, or $0.04 per diluted share, as compared to net loss of $10.9 million in the first quarter of last year, or $0.09 per diluted share.1
Adjusted net income was $4.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share as compared to adjusted net income of $1.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share in the first quarter last year.2
Adjusted EBITDA was $24.4 million in the first quarter as compared to $21.9 million in the same period last year.2
Balance Sheet
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first quarter totaled $23.6 million, compared to $29.9 million at December 31, 2023.
Inventory at end of the first quarter was $99.9 million, compared to $96.2 million at December 31, 2023 and $132.4 million at March 31, 2023.
Guidance For Full Year Fiscal 2024
The Company is reiterating its prior guidance for Fiscal 2024. The Company's outlook reflects its expectation for continued softness in grill industry demand in 2024, as well as its expectation for significant improvement in gross margin, driven by lower transportation costs and the benefit of margin enhancement initiatives.
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance to Net Loss on a forward-looking basis cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts, as the Company is unable to provide reconciling information with respect to provision for income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, other (income) expense, stock-based compensation, non-routine legal expenses, change in fair value of contingent consideration, and other adjustment items all of which are adjustments to Adjusted EBITDA.

TRAEGER, INC. RECONCILIATIONS OF AND OTHER INFORMATION REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (unaudited)
In addition to our results and measures of performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating and comparing our financial and operational performance over multiple periods, identifying trends affecting our business, formulating business plans and making strategic decisions.
Each of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per share, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted Net Income Margin are key performance measures that our management uses to assess our financial performance and is also used for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and other interested parties in analyzing our financial performance because it provides a comparable overview of our operations across historical periods. In addition, we believe that providing each of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, together with a reconciliation of Net Loss to each such measure, and providing Adjusted Net Income per share, together with a reconciliation of Net Loss per share to such measure, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Net Income Margin, together with a reconciliation of Net Loss Margin to such measures, helps investors make comparisons between our company and other companies that may have different capital structures, different tax rates, and/or different forms of employee compensation. For example, due to finite-lived intangible assets included on our balance sheet following our corporate reorganization in 2017, we have significant non-cash amortization expense attributable to the nature of our capital structure.
Each of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per share are used by our management team as an additional measure of our performance for purposes of business decision-making, including managing expenditures, and evaluating potential acquisitions. Period-to-period comparisons of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per share help our management identify additional trends in our financial results that may not be shown solely by period-to-period comparisons of Net Loss or Loss from Operations or Net Loss per share. In addition, we may use Adjusted EBITDA in the incentive compensation programs applicable to some of our employees. Each of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Net Income per share has inherent limitations because of the excluded items, and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled metrics used by other companies.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Net Loss, Loss from Operations, Net Loss Margin, Loss from Operations Margin, and Net Loss per share, the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income Margin and Adjusted Net Income per share, respectively, on a condensed consolidated basis.
