MGP Ingredients, Inc. is a leading provider of branded and distilled spirits and food ingredient solutions, operating primarily in the alcoholic beverage and specialty ingredient industries. The company is known for its premium brands, including Penelope, Rebel, Remus, and Yellowstone bourbons, as well as El Mayor tequila.
In the first quarter of 2025, MGP Ingredients reported a significant decline in financial performance compared to the previous year. Despite a challenging environment with elevated whiskey inventories and cautious consumer behavior, the company remains optimistic about its strategic initiatives and reaffirmed its financial outlook for the year.
Key financial metrics for the quarter included a 29% decrease in consolidated sales to $121.7 million and a 31% drop in gross profit to $43.3 million. The company also reported a net loss of $3.1 million, attributed mainly to changes in the fair value of contingent liabilities. Adjusted EBITDA fell by 46% to $21.8 million, while capital expenditures decreased by 38% to $8.1 million.
MGP Ingredients is focusing on its competitive strengths and impactful initiatives, particularly in the Branded Spirits segment, where premium plus portfolio sales increased by 7%. Despite declines in other segments, the company successfully expanded its credit facility, enhancing its financial flexibility.
Looking ahead, MGP Ingredients remains committed to its goal of becoming a premier branded spirits company. The management is confident in its strategic direction and expects to achieve its full-year financial targets, projecting sales between $520 million and $540 million and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $105 million to $115 million.
