Sadot Group, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2024 Results

Record Quarterly Net Income of $2.4 million

FORT WORTH, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 13, 2024 / Sadot Group Inc. (NASDAQ:SDOT) (the "Sadot Group" "Sadot" or the "Company"), an emerging player in the global food supply chain sector, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

  • Consolidated revenues of $175.0 million, a 9% increase over the prior year period

  • Net income of $2.4 million compared to $0.2 million in the prior year period. This was the highest quarterly income in the Company's history

  • EBITDA of $3.2 million compared to $0.7 million of EBITDA in the prior year period

  • Cash balance of $10.0 million, up from $1.4 million at December 31, 2023

  • Working capital surplus of $16.1 million compared to $8.3 million at December 31, 2023

"We delivered record net income in the second quarter as we continued to execute well against key initiatives to transform our business and drive growth and profitability," said Michael Roper, Chief Executive Officer of Sadot Group. "Our goal is to continue to seek to expand the scope and capabilities of our platform and to remain well positioned for significant growth in the nearly $2 trillion global agri-commodities market. I am extremely proud of our results, underscoring our resilience and commitment to operational excellence and our strategic vision."

Strategic and Operational Highlights

  • Completed 21 transactions of over 525,000 metric tons of agri-commodities throughout eight different countries during the second quarter.

  • Shipped 2,500 metric tons to date of maize and over 690 metric tons of soya from the Company's farming operations in Zambia during the second quarter.

  • Established Sadot Canada, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sadot LLC based in Toronto, Canada, in the second quarter. Canadian operations are led by David Hanna as Executive Vice President/General Manager and Jaime Rueda as Vice President/Head of Feed Ingredients. Both executives bring extensive experience and deep knowledge of the agri-commodity markets, making them invaluable additions to the Company. Their combined leadership will be instrumental in advancing Sadot's global growth agenda by guiding the team in facilitating trade flows to and from North America, Africa, the Black Sea, Indonesia, and Brazil.

  • Finalized the sale of Superfit Foods, the first of three legacy restaurant concepts the Company is in the process of divesting. Sadot is currently in discussions with potential buyers for the remaining restaurant assets, including Pokémoto and Muscle Maker Grill. Sadot will continue to expect that the divestiture of these non-core assets will drive operational savings and simplification along with ensuring that the Company's resources are firmly aligned around the highest potential opportunities in the agri-commodities market.

Reconciliations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Other Non-GAAP Measures

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP measures. The Company defines EBITDA as Net loss, adjusted for depreciation, amortization, interest income / (expense), and income taxes. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as Net loss, adjusted for depreciation, amortization, net interest (income) expense, income taxes, impairment expenses, stock-based consulting expense, derived from amounts presented in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, (collectively, the "Non-GAAP Measures") are useful metrics for investors to understand and evaluate its operating results and ongoing profitability because they permit investors to evaluate its recurring profitability from its ongoing operating activities.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, have certain limitations, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of its results of operations as reported under U.S. GAAP. The Company cautions investors that amounts presented in accordance with its definitions of any of the Non-GAAP Measures may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers, because some issuers calculate certain of the Non-GAAP Measures differently or not at all, limiting their usefulness as direct comparative measures.

The following table presents a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA from the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, Net loss, and the calculations of the Net loss margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:
