“We are very pleased with our performance for the quarter and full year and remain confident in the long-term sustainability of our business model,” said Dave Colo, president and CEO of MGP Ingredients. “Our record annual results reflect continued strength in each of our business segments. Brown goods sales increased 65% and 42% for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods. Underpinning this growth was continued demand for our new distillate and aged whiskey. Meanwhile, increased commodity costs and excess supply in the market continue to negatively impact industrial alcohol and white goods gross profit. Sales of our premium plus portfolio of brands grew 23% in the quarter driving further gross margin expansion in our Branded Spirits segment. In our Ingredient Solutions business, we remain encouraged by the traction our specialty wheat starches and proteins continue to gain. These results for the fourth quarter and full year demonstrate the continued success of executing our long-term strategy.”

2023 Outlook
MGP is offering the following consolidated guidance for fiscal 2023:
- Sales are projected to be in the range of $815 million to $835 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $178 million to $183 million.
- Adjusted basic earnings per common share are forecasted to be in the $5.05 to $5.20 range, with basic weighted average shares outstanding expected to be approximately 22.2 million at year end.
Full year 2023 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 MGP is unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. Such items include, but are not limited to, acquisition related expenses, restructuring and related expenses, and other items not reflective of MGP’s ongoing operations.

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 gross profit, adjusted operating income, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted net income, adjusted MGP earnings, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted basic and diluted earnings per common share. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should be reviewed in conjunction with gross profit, operating income, income before income taxes, net income, net income used in earnings per common share calculation, and basic and diluted EPS computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for these GAAP measures.

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.

(a) The impacts of the Convertible Senior Notes were included in the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding if the impact was dilutive. The Convertible Senior Notes would only have a dilutive impact if the average market price per share during the quarter and year to date period exceeds the conversion price of $96.23620 per share. For the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, the inclusion of the shares had a dilutive impact and were included in the diluted EPS calculation.
(b) Number of bonds outstanding is calculated by taking the principal amount of the bonds divided by the par value.
(c) 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 then 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.
(d) 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 then the conversion price then the impact of conversion is zero.
(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 then the conversion price then the conversion premium in shares is zero.
