Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Market ExpansionThe company is expanding its SKUs into the high-growth RTD market with new on-trend flavors which we believe will introduce the brand to new customers.
Product PopularityLifeway's flagship kefir product saw revenue growth of 14% in Q4’24 and 20% in FY24, demonstrating the brand's strength and consumer interest in functional foods like probiotics.
Revenue GrowthDouble-digit revenue growth is expected to continue on a full-year basis, supported by tapering milk prices and modest GM expansion.
Bears Say
Financial ImpactGAAP earnings were skewed by year-end bonuses and expenses associated with the unsolicited takeover attempt by Danone.
Operational CostsElevated SG&A costs in FY24 were associated with legal/advisory fees due to the unsolicited Danone acquisition and other shareholder actions.
Revenue MissQ3’24 revenue growth of 13% missed our 18% estimate and moved down $3M sequentially as Q2’24 results appear to have uniquely benefited from club channel distribution, while GMs were compressed on elevated milk prices.
