<p>The company <a target="_blank" href="https://s203.q4cdn.com/450659508/files/doc_financials/2025/q1/KLG-2025-Q1-Exhibit-99-1.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">clocked</a> earnings per share of 20 cents, missing the street view of 34 cents. Quarterly sales of $663 million missed the analyst consensus estimate of $679.49 million.</p>
<p>Quarterly reported net sales declined 6.2% year-over-year, while organic net sales were down 5.6% from the prior year. The drop in organic net sales was driven by reduced retailer inventory tied to Easter holiday timing, the comparison against a major prior-year promotion, and softer-than-expected consumption trends.</p>

<p>Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter under review was $72 million, down 4% year over year. This decrease was driven by lower sales volume. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 10.8% from 10.6% in the year-ago period.</p>
<p>In the first quarter, price/mix rose 3.0% while volume declined 8.6%.</p>
<p>Chairman and CEO Gary Pilnick said the company remains on track to achieve a margin improvement of around 500 basis points by the end of 2026.</p>
<p>&#8220;In the first quarter, we saw consumers continue to focus on health and nutrition, which we view as a positive development for the category,&#8221; Pilnick added.</p>
<p><strong>Outlook:</strong> The company said 2025 organic net sales are now projected to fall approximately between (2.0)% and (3.0)%, compared to the prior guidance of a (1.0)% decline.</p>
<p>2025 adjusted EBITDA growth is now projected to be flat to down (2.0)%, compared to the prior guidance of 4% to 6% growth.</p>
<p>The 2025 financial outlook includes a modest impact from tariffs, mainly tied to raw materials sourced outside North America.</p>
<p>It assumes most production remains exempt from tariffs on trade with Canada and Mexico.</p>
<p>However, the company said, there is no guarantee that these exemptions will continue or that future tariffs will not further affect the business and financial results.</p>
<p><strong>Price Action:</strong> KLG shares are trading higher by 2.25% to $17.75 at last check on Tuesday.</p>
