Utz Brands reported strong top line growth and productivity savings, driven by distribution gains and brand performance. However, the revision of EPS guidance and the subsequent stock price decline present challenges. Despite underperformance in some product categories, the company remains confident in its expansion and investment strategies.

Company Guidance

In the second quarter 2025 earnings call, Utz Brands, Inc. provided guidance indicating an expectation of 8.5% EBITDA growth for the full year at the midpoint, with high-teens growth projected for the second half. The company highlighted several factors contributing to this outlook, including a significant step-up in gross margin anticipated in the third quarter, accelerated capital expenditures leading to productivity savings, and the impact of a plant closure. Additionally, the company revised its EPS growth guidance from 10-15% to 7-10%, attributing the change to increased interest expenses and accelerated depreciation due to higher CapEx spending. Despite these adjustments, Utz Brands expressed confidence in achieving its 2026 financial goals, supported by ongoing investments in distribution, robust top-line momentum, and strategic geographic expansion.

Strong Top Line Results and Expansion

Utz Brands delivered strong top line results in the first half of the year, driven by significant increases in expansion market distribution points and infrastructure investments. The company saw volume and value share gains in core geographies and improvement in C-store performance.

Boulder Canyon Brand Growth

Boulder Canyon surpassed $100 million in revenue and continues to grow with distribution gains and increasing velocity. The brand's non-seed oil benefit and performance in natural channels are key drivers.

Productivity and Gross Margin Expansion

Utz Brands reported significant productivity savings with a forecast of $150 million plus, leading to gross margin expansion. The company is on track with its productivity and cost-saving initiatives.

Distribution Gains and Infrastructure Investment

Distribution gains were noted across core and expansion markets, with significant retailer support from national chains. Infrastructure investments facilitate expanded distribution and support top line momentum.

Household Penetration and Brand Support

Household penetration reached an all-time high of around 50%, with strong trial and repeat rates. The company increased marketing investments to support geographic expansion and brand building.
