The calculation of adjusted diluted earnings per share excludes the principal portion of the convertible notes as this will always be settled in cash.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release do not have standard meanings and may vary from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The company believes that organic net sales growth, non-GAAP adjusted segment EBITDA, adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted per share measures are useful as supplements to its GAAP results of operations to evaluate certain aspects of its operations and financial performance, and its management team primarily focuses on non-GAAP items in evaluating performance for business planning purposes. The company also believes that these measures assist it with comparing its performance between various reporting periods on a consistent basis, as these measures remove from operating results the impact of items that, in its opinion, do not reflect its core operating performance including, for example, intangibles amortization expense, impairment charges, restructuring expenses, and other charges which management considers to be outside core operating results. The company believes that free cash flow is an important measure of operating performance because it provides management and investors a measure of cash generated from operations that is available for mandatory payment obligations and investment opportunities, such as funding acquisitions, repaying debt and repurchasing our common stock. The company believes that its presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful because it provides investors and securities analysts with the same information that Middleby uses internally for purposes of assessing its core operating performance.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release do not have standard meanings and may vary from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The company believes that organic net sales growth, non-GAAP adjusted segment EBITDA, adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted per share measures are useful as supplements to its GAAP results of operations to evaluate certain aspects of its operations and financial performance, and its management team primarily focuses on non-GAAP items in evaluating performance for business planning purposes. The company also believes that these measures assist it with comparing its performance between various reporting periods on a consistent basis, as these measures remove from operating results the impact of items that, in its opinion, do not reflect its core operating performance including, for example, intangibles amortization expense, impairment charges, restructuring expenses, and other charges which management considers to be outside core operating results. The company believes that free cash flow is an important measure of operating performance because it provides management and investors a measure of cash generated from operations that is available for mandatory payment obligations and investment opportunities, such as funding acquisitions, repaying debt and repurchasing our common stock. The company believes that its presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful because it provides investors and securities analysts with the same information that Middleby uses internally for purposes of assessing its core operating performance.

The Middleby Corporation (NASDAQ: MIDD), a leading worldwide manufacturer of equipment for the commercial foodservice, food processing, and residential kitchen industries, today reported net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2022. “We are pleased with the results delivered in the fourth quarter and proud of our accomplishments for the year. Our team made great progress in 2022 moving forward our strategic and operating initiatives. We are excited about the many industry-leading innovations we have introduced over the past year and the robust pipeline of products we are launching in 2023. The investments we are making to evolve our go-to-market initiatives are paying dividends, as we have expanded the capabilities of our sales teams, deepened the relationships with our channel partners, and increased our engagement with end-user customers. The meaningful capital investments we have made in our operations have positioned us for increased manufacturing capacity and expected improvements in production efficiencies. In 2022, we also continued to execute our long-standing acquisition strategy -- adding eight brands to our portfolio and many exciting products complementing our commercial, food-processing and residential businesses. We are confident our execution of these strategic initiatives is positioning us for long-term growth and progressing us toward the profitability targets we have established for each of our three industry-leading foodservice segments,” said Tim FitzGerald, CEO of The Middleby Corporation. 2022 Fourth Quarter Financial Results Net sales increased 19.1% in the fourth quarter over the comparative prior year period. Excluding the impacts of acquisitions and foreign exchange rates, sales increased 14.0% in the fourth quarter over the comparative prior year period, reflecting higher shipments as we realize benefits of investments to increase our production throughput. Organic net sales (a non-GAAP measure) increases were reported for all three segments due to improvements in market conditions and consumer demand in the fourth quarter of 2022. A reconciliation of reported net sales by segment is as follows: Commercial Foodservice Residential Kitchen Food Processing Total Company Reported Net Sales Growth 19.2 % 3.1 % 45.2 % 19.1 % Acquisitions 2.2 % 16.4 % 19.7 % 8.2 % Foreign Exchange Rates (2.4 )% (4.6 )% (3.5 )% (3.1 )% Organic Net Sales Growth (1) (2) 19.4 % (8.7 )% 29.1 % 14.0 % (1) Organic net sales growth defined as total sales growth excluding impact of acquisitions and foreign exchange rates (2) Totals may be impacted by rounding Foreign exchange losses were approximately $9.8 million in the fourth quarter, which negatively impacted adjusted earnings per share by $0.14. Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) was $233.5 million, in the fourth quarter of 2022, which includes $6.6 million of unfavorable translation impacts from changes in foreign exchange rates. A reconciliation of organic adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) by segment is as follows: Commercial Foodservice Residential Kitchen Food Processing Total Company Adjusted EBITDA 28.0 % 14.2 % 26.2 % 22.6 % Acquisitions (0.4 )% (1.7 )% (2.5 )% (1.2 )% Foreign Exchange Rates 0.1 % (0.3 )% (0.3 )% (0.1 )% Organic Adjusted EBITDA (1) (2) 28.3 % 16.2 % 29.0 % 23.8 % (1) Organic Adjusted EBITDA defined as Adjusted EBITDA excluding impact of acquisitions and foreign exchange rates. (2) Totals may be impacted by rounding Operating cash flows during the fourth quarter amounted to $159.1 million in comparison to $77.4 million in the prior year period. The total leverage ratio per our credit agreements was 3.0x. The trailing twelve month bank agreement pro-forma EBITDA was $889.6 million. Cash balances at the end of the quarter were $162.0 million. Net debt, defined as debt excluding the unamortized discount associated with the Convertible Notes less cash, at the end of the 2022 fiscal fourth quarter amounted to $2.6 billion as compared to $2.3 billion at the end of fiscal 2021. Debt increased $70 million related to recent business acquisitions. Additionally, our borrowing availability at the end of the fourth quarter was approximately $2.2 billion. “We are excited to have completed the acquisitions of Escher Mixers and Marco Beverage Systems in the fourth quarter. Escher is a leading provider of innovative dough handling and mixing equipment, including automated and robotic solutions. Escher is a perfect complement to our current industrial bakery business, extending our product offering and expanding the integrated full-line solutions we can provide to our bakery customers,” said Tim FitzGerald. “The acquisition of Marco further expands our rapidly growing beverage offerings. Marco is an innovation leader in beverage solutions, including coffee brewers, cold brew dispense systems, and a variety of hot, cold and sparkling water dispensers. Marco’s touchless and in-counter dispense technology is in demand due to space, labor and ergonomic advantages.” concluded Mr. FitzGerald.

(2) Adjusted diluted weighted average number of shares was calculated based on excluding the dilutive effect of shares to be issued upon conversion of the notes to satisfy the amount in excess of the principal since the company's capped call offsets the dilutive impact of the shares underlying the convertible notes. The calculation of adjusted diluted earnings per share excludes the principal portion of the convertible notes as this will always be settled in cash.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release do not have standard meanings and may vary from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The company believes that organic net sales growth, non-GAAP adjusted segment EBITDA, adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted per share measures are useful as supplements to its GAAP results of operations to evaluate certain aspects of its operations and financial performance, and its management team primarily focuses on non-GAAP items in evaluating performance for business planning purposes. The company also believes that these measures assist it with comparing its performance between various reporting periods on a consistent basis, as these measures remove from operating results the impact of items that, in its opinion, do not reflect its core operating performance including, for example, intangibles amortization expense, impairment charges, restructuring expenses, and other charges which management considers to be outside core operating results. The company believes that free cash flow is an important measure of operating performance because it provides management and investors a measure of cash generated from operations that is available for mandatory payment obligations and investment opportunities, such as funding acquisitions, repaying debt and repurchasing our common stock. The company believes that its presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful because it provides investors and securities analysts with the same information that Middleby uses internally for purposes of assessing its core operating performance.
